The Husqvarna EZ3417 zero turn lawn mower is quite unlike larger models available from Husqvarna that include the Husqvarna RZ4219F and the Husqvarna BZ7234 lawnmowers. You will very often find the EZ 3417 lawn mower being used by individuals as well as commercial landscapers and professional gardeners. The mower deck on this lawn mower has a cutting width of 34 inches. The deck is made from fabricated 7 gauge steel. In total there are 2 identical blades inside the deck, each of which has a length of 17 inches. The deck operates over a range of 3 inches. It can cut as low as 1.5 inches above the ground and as high as 4.5 inches above the ground. The deck is raised and lowered in fairly small 0.5 inch increments.

The engine that powers the Husqvarna EZ3417 is a Kawasaki that produces a max power output of 17 hp. This engine is fueled with gasoline from a tank that can hold up to 18.2 liters (4.8 US gallons). The engine powers the rear wheels through a transmission system that allows the lawn mower to reach a top speed of 11.3 kph (7 mph) when traveling forwards. In reverse, the EZ 3417 can hit a top speed of 6.4 kph (4 mph).

Power is transferred from the engine on the Husqvarna EZ3417 to the rear wheels. The rear wheels carry most of the weight of the lawn mower as well as powering it forwards. They also turn the lawn mower. This is why the rear wheels are so much bigger than the front wheels. The rear wheels each measure 23×8.5-12 (23 inch diameter, 8.5 inch width, 12 inch rim diameter). They also have a turf thread which grips the ground without tearing it up. The front wheels are smooth and measure 13×5-6 (13 inch diameter, 5 inch width, 6 inch rim diameter).
