The Husqvarna RZ3016 zero turn lawn mower is one of the smallest zero turn models available from Husqvarna. If you are looking for something that’s a bit bigger than this 16.5 hp, 30 inch mower, then you should definitely take a look at the Husqvarna MZ6128ZT or the Husqvarna RZ4216 zero turn lawn mowers. The RZ 3016 is powered by a small Endurance series engine that has been designed and built by Briggs and Stratton. This half liter, single cylinder engine is keystarted with the help of a 12 volt battery. The engine also has a 16 amp alternator built in to recharge the battery once the engine is on.

The mower deck on the Husqvarna RZ3016 zero turn lawnmower has a cutting width of 30 inches as already mentioned. Because the mower deck is quite small, it only has one blade housed in the deck. The mower deck is actually a lot wider at 0.94 m (37 inches) because of the discharge flap located at the side. The deck is made from 13 gauge steel and can be lifted from a low of 1.5 inches above the ground to 4 inches above the ground through 6 different heights using a spring assisted manual handle. The blade spins at a maximum speed of 16,600 fpm (feet per minute) when measured from the tip of the blade.

For people interested in making their lawn look extra neat and tidy, you may be a little annoyed that you are unable to buy a bagger for the Husqvarna RZ3016 zero turn mower. Instead, to collect clippings, you will have to rake them by hand. Or a smarter option would be to cut your grass regularly so that there is very little grass waste left lying on it. As the RZ 3016 is a little smaller than most other Husqvarna zero turn mowers, it can only mow a maximum of 1.6 acres of grass per hour.
