Handles slopes better than I expected for the price. Would recommend to anyone considering the Z242F 42 in. 21.5HP Kawasaki Hydrostatic.
Cuts through our half-acre yard without bogging down.
Deck height adjustment is easy and the results look great. Assembly took a bit longer than expected but works great.
Upgraded from an old push mower and the difference is night and day. A little pricier than I hoped but the quality justifies it. Would recommend to anyone considering the Z242F 42 in. 21.5HP Kawasaki Hydrostatic.
