The Husqvarna RZ5424 zero turn lawn mower is the 24 hp, 54 inch Husqvarna mower that comes with one of 2 engines. The first engine choice is a twin cylinder Kawasaki FR series engine that has a displacement 0.726 liters and is air cooled. The other choice is a Courage engine designed and built by Kohler that has a displacement of 0.725 liters. This 2 cylinder Kohler engine is also air cooled. Both engines are key started by a 12 volt battery which is then itself recharged by a 16 amp alternator. Power from the engine reaches the wheels through a Hydro-Gear EZT hydrostatic transmission that directs power to each rear wheel independent of the other.

The speed and direction of the Husqvarna RZ5424 zero turn lawnmower is controlled by the operator through the lap bar steering levers. The maximum speed that the RZ 5424 can reach is 10.5 kph (6.5 mph), which means that it can very quickly cover a lot of ground. The mower deck on this zero turn mower, as mentioned before has a cutting width of 54 inches. It is constructed from stamped 12 gauge steel and is engaged using an electric clutch. Thanks to the fact that there are 3 small blades housed inside the mower deck means that you will always get a very clean and crisp cut. Interestingly, the total width of the mower deck comes in at a much larger 1.73 m (68 inches) due to the discharge flap at the side.

The Husqvarna RZ5424 zero turn lawnmower is actually quite heavy, tipping the scales at 290.3 kg (640 lbs). If you are looking for zero turn lawn mowers that are a little smaller then you should consider checking out the Husqvarna RZ4824F or the Husqvarna RZ4623 lawnmowers.
