The Husqvarna iZ5223 zero turn lawnmower is a fairly powerful machine that’s similar in cutting size to both the Husqvarna MZ5225T and the Husqvarna P-ZT5224 zero turn lawn mowers, but not quite as powerful. The engine that powers the iZ 5223 is a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard model. This is a 2 cylinder engine that supplies the wheels and blades with 23 hp. Power from the engine gets transferred to the mower deck through a belt drive system that is engaged through an electric PTO. The mower deck itself has a cutting width of 52 inches.  It’s total width is actually as high as 66 inches when the plastic protective flap is down.

There are 3 blades housed inside the mower deck of the Husqvarna iZ5223. There is also 6 anti scalping wheels attached to the leading and trailing edges of the mower deck. These help to prevent the deck from scratching or cutting into the lawn while you are traveling over it. The mower deck on the iZ 5223 can cut grass as low as 1.5 inches from the ground and as high as 5 inches above the ground. For dealing with the grass clippings, you have 3 options. The first is to use an optional mulching plug. The second is to just discharge them out the side of the deck and leave them lying on the lawn. The last option is to collect them in a rear bagger attachment which will leave you lawn looking incredibly neat and tidy.

The Husqvarna iZ5223 is quite fast with a top speed of 15.3 kph (9.5 mph). The operator of the iZ5223 sits in a full suspension seat during operation. This seat has a high back and offers enough support so that you can continue using it for many hours without needing a rest. The total weight of the zero turn lawn mower comes to 399.2 kg (880 lbs).
