{"product_id":"husqvarna-z254f-se-54-zero-turn-mower-23-hp-kawasaki","title":"Husqvarna Z254F Special Edition 23 HP 54-Inch Zero-Turn Mower with Kawasaki FR691V V-Twin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Z254F Special Edition is the wide-deck flagship of Husqvarna's Z200-series residential zero-turn lineup — a 54-inch lap-bar zero-turn paired with a 23-horsepower Kawasaki FR691V V-twin and twin Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 commercial-grade transaxles. The Special Edition trim adds an upgraded high-back seat with armrests and all-terrain tires, designed for owners running two- to four-acre properties weekly through summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a Kawasaki FR691V V-twin OHV engine displacing 726cc. The FR series is the residential-grade extension of Kawasaki's commercial FX engine line, sharing the same overhead valve architecture, full pressure lubrication, and dual-element premium air filtration. Owners running the Z254F SE on a typical weekly residential schedule will see oil and filter changes once a season — essentially the entire engine maintenance routine. Electric key start, automatic choke, and a regulated charging system handle cold mornings without operator intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwin Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 commercial-grade transaxles power the rear wheels independently, allowing true zero-radius pivoting controlled through a pair of lap bars. Top forward speed is 6.5 mph and reverse runs at 3.5 mph. The ZT-2800 is a meaningful step up from the standard EZT and ZT-2200 transmissions: larger oil capacity, reinforced internals, and a service life calibrated for several seasons of weekly multi-acre mowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 54-inch ClearCut reinforced fabricated steel deck cuts at 13 height settings between 1.5 and 4.5 inches via a foot-lift pedal and pin-locked indicator. Three cutting blades work in side-discharge configuration. Air-induction ducting pulls air through the deck shell to lift grass blades for a cleaner cut and improved discharge dispersal. The deck accepts an optional Husqvarna mulch kit (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperator comfort centers on a Special Edition high-back seat with armrests, soft-grip lap bars, all-terrain tires for improved traction across uneven ground, and a vibration-dampening foot deck. The dashboard layout is honest and minimal: ignition, throttle, choke, PTO knob, hour meter, fuel gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is welded steel with corrosion-resistant powder-coat throughout. The standard rear hitch accepts most popular tow-behind attachments — dump carts, broadcast spreaders, plug aerators, dethatchers, and lawn rollers all mount without modification. Cup holder is factory standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor two- to four-acre properties where the homeowner wants commercial-grade transmissions and Kawasaki engine reliability without stepping up to the commercial-tier MZ54, the Z254F Special Edition is the most balanced wide-deck zero-turn in Husqvarna's residential catalog. The ZT-2800 transmission is the value story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Husqvarna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44780196790358,"sku":null,"price":2097.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1866\/5621\/files\/bn-092762.jpg?v=1779652918","url":"https:\/\/ri-medical.myshopify.com\/en-us\/products\/husqvarna-z254f-se-54-zero-turn-mower-23-hp-kawasaki","provider":"RI MEDICAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
