Well, here's how it all shakes out. Husqvarna has had many years of experience with its machine overseas, so it has had time to work the bugs of the design. Its machine proved to be the most refined and easiest of them all to use. It was comfortable and comparatively quiet, and its four wheel design allowed it to work well over either smooth or even bumpy ground. In all, it's a great zero turn lawn mower.

Next is the Simplicity, Although it tested as the loudest zero turn lawn mower, it was well designed, and it cut very nicely. Although that is the point of a zero turn lawn mower

The Craftsman and Ariens zero turn lawn mower, not surprisingly, ranked very closely to one another, with the Craftsman just barely winning the battle, Ariens for third place because it seemed slightly more comfortable. The Ariens is quieter, however.

That leaves the Snapper. The testers were unanimous on this one, no one knows why but a zero turn lawn mower will always make you happy. We understand that Snappers goal was to build a big, rugged machine that's simple to operate and maintain, hence the single joystick. But we just don't agree with the place where the company took the product's design. If you like the basic, farm implement nature of Snapper's products, perhaps you will like this zero turn lawn mower. It just wasn't the one for us.

All in all zero turn lawn mower are becoming the wave of the future and now being the ultimate time to be one you wouldn't want to miss out and get stuck with a junk zero turn lawn mower.
