TOP 5 Zero Turn Mowers Under $3500 | 2023

[Music] over the past few years we've seen a lot of price increases in the Zero Turn Mower Market despite this you can still get a quality Zero Turn Mower in the three thousand dollar price range which is why we've put together this list of the top five zero turn mowers available for thirty five hundred dollars subscribe to the Tractor Bob YouTube channel for more content like this and let's get started as far as inexpensive mowers go the Aaron's Edge seems to be one of the better options to choose from The Cutting widths for this mower are 34 inches 42 inches and 52 inches the deck is fabricated which is made from 11 gauge steel and has between zero to two anti-scap wheels depending on the cut you get the cut height variability is one inches to 4.5 inches and you get a spring-loaded plastic Chute on this mower you have two engine options to select from first is the Kawasaki fr651v which is a 726 CC and 21.5 horsepower engine second is the Briggs exi 2000 which is 656 CC and 20 horsepower now as far as transaxles you get the hydro gear zt2200s also the fuel tank capacity is only two gallons and the top speed is 6 miles per hour on this mower there really aren't any features to brag about you get a cup holder but that's really about it there's no rubber floor mats or any other additional feed features the front wheels are 11 by four by five smooth tread and the back wheels are 18 by 9.5 by 8. overall the build quality on this mower is just okay the frame is pretty big however the metal used is pretty light duty I personally think that this mower is the least competitive on this list when you take into consideration the engine options the deck quality and the features as for the price on this mower it'll vary slightly depending on the engine and cut size you want but you'll likely be spending between three thousand four hundred dollars and thirty five hundred dollars however I strongly recommend you check out the other mowers on this list the Toro time cutter mowers have been a classic choice for many homeowners over the years while their residential mowers may not be the absolute best for the price these mowers will still have a lot to offer in that 3 500 price range there are two cutting width options for the price range we are looking at a 34 inch cut and 42 inch cut the deck is stamped made from 13 gauge steel and has two anti-scalp wheels the cut height variability is 1 inches to 4.5 inches the deck adjustment system is a simple hand lever system and you get a spring-loaded plastic Chute the Toro time cutter mowers come in a wide variety of skus that range greatly in price the specific model I'm covering in this video is model 77401 the engine on this model is a Briggs and Stratton engine with 22 horsepower and the transaxles you get are the hydro gear zt2100s the features that come on this time cutter mower are pretty decent to start you get a cup holder and neat storage cubby under the seat you also get Toro smart speed control which supposedly helps maintain blade speed independently of mowing speed the front wheels are 11 by 4 inches with smooth tread and the back wheels are 18 by 7.5 inches with Turf tread overall I'd say the tires are pretty small the build quality on this mower isn't the best but also not the worst while the deck may be light duty the frame of this mower is built from 10 gauge steel which is pretty good my main concern with this mower is the tire size if you like this mower I'd highly recommend looking at the one right over this which costs around 3 800 it has a better mowing deck larger tires and a better engine and transmission however that version of the time cutter was just a bit too expensive to make it on this list as for the price of this mower it'll vary slightly depending on if there's a sale going on or not but you can expect to pay between 3 300 and 3 500 for this mower this next Zero Turn Mower on the list has been rated number one residential mower for the last several years however it did not make it as number one spot on this list the cutting widths on this mower is 42 inches 48 inches and 54 inches the deck is husqvarna's clear-cut deck it's fabricated made with 10 gauge steel it has between one and three anti-scalc wheels depending on the cut you get the cut height variability is 1 inches to 5 inches the deck adjustment system is the simple to use hand lever system and you get a spring-loaded plastic Chute on this mower you have one engine option which is the Kawasaki fr691v which is 726 CC with 23 horsepower now as far as the transaxles go you get the hydro gear zt2200s the fuel tank capacity on the z200 series mowers is just 3.5 gallons and the top speed is 6.5 miles per hour for the features you get about what you'd expect you don't get rubber floor mats but there is grip tape which is better than nothing you also get a cup holder and small storage cubby now there is a limited edition version which features a matte black powder coated deck along with a tire upgrade as well so make sure to see if your dealer has one of these limited edition versions in stock lastly I really like the control arms on this mower they are very responsive and feel high quality compared to some of the other mowers on this list the front wheels are 11 by 5.5 by 5 smooth tread and the back tires are 18 by nine by eight overall the build quality on the Husqvarna z200 series mowers is one of the better options when it comes to zero turn mowers in this price range while the mower is relatively compact it's built really sturdy and feels comfortable to drive also the access to all the major components is decent as for the price of this mower it'll vary slightly depending on the cut size you want but you'll likely be spending between thirty two hundred dollars and thirty five hundred dollars the Cub Cadet Ultima zt1 series mowers are pretty darn good for the price and they come with some really great features as well the cutting widths for this mower are 42 inches 46 inches 50 inches and 54 inches the deck is Cub cadet's aeroforce fabricated deck which is made from 11 gauge steel has between two and three anti-scalc wheels depending on the cut you get the cut height variability is 1 inches to 4.5 inches and the deck adjustment system is a handy foot pedal plus dial adjustment type the mower also comes with a nice heavy duty rubber shoot on this mower you have a few engine options to select from first is the Kohler 7000 series which is 725 CC and 24 horsepower second is the Kawasaki fr600v which is 726 CC and 18 horsepower third is the Kawasaki fr691v which is 726 CC and 23 horsepower now as far as transaxles you get the Hydra gear zt2200s the fuel tank capacity on the Altima zt1 is just 3.5 gallons and the top speed is 7.5 miles per hour for the features you get about what you'd expect plus a bit more to start you get rubber floor mats plus a nice cup holder and small storage cubby this mower also features dual LED lights mounted in the front as well as adjustable control arms plus access to all the major components is good the front wheels are 11 by 6 by 5 smooth tread and the back wheels are 20 by 10 by 8. as far as the build quality goes the zt1 is pretty solid with a 2 inch steel tube frame that also acts as a sort of exoskeleton however in some areas it feels like Overkill and unnecessary unless you were to run into something really hard another thing while the mower might look cool I'm not sure how much I like having the engine so exposed for most people I don't see this being much of an issue but leave a comment if you agree or disagree with any of the statements I just made as for the price of this mower it'll vary slightly depending on the engine and cut size you want but you'll likely be spending between three thousand two hundred dollars and three thousand six hundred dollars on this mower it's also important to note that that's based off the current sale price so make sure to see what the price is at the time in which you are watching this video number one on this list is the bad boy MZ Rambler Bad Boy Mowers are known for being reliable and durable the MZ Rambler is the most affordable zero turn mower that they offer however this mower is still a solid machine The Cutting width for this mower is 42 inches the deck is fabricated made from 7 gauge steel and has two anti-scalp wheels the cut height variability is one inches to 4.5 inches and the deck adjustment system is the handy foot pedal plus dial adjustment type and you get a really nice rubber bolt-on Chute on this mower you have one engine option which is a Briggs 540 CC 19 horsepower engine now as far as the transaxles go you get the hydro gear zt2200s the fuel tank capacity is a Solid 5 gallons and the top speed is 6 miles per hour for the features you get just about everything you need starting with nice rubber floor mats plus a cup holder and medium sized storage cubby I also like that the mower has deck support isolators help helping to increase the mower's lifespan also the major components are super easy to get to the front wheels are 11 by 4 by 5 smooth tread and the back wheels are 18 by 8.5 by 8. so the tires are a bit smaller than I'd like however you can always step up to the MZ Magnum for slightly bigger tires engine and transaxles plus more cutting width options the thing I like most about the MZ Rambler is the build quality not only do you get a solid 7 gauge mowing deck but the frame is also heavy gauge even the shoot design is sturdier on this mower as for the price you'll be able to find the MZ Rambler for right around thirty four hundred dollars thank you so much for watching this video on the top 5 zero turn mowers
