Z460 review
Our take on the Husqvarna Z460
The Husqvarna Z460 is a professional zero-turn from the Z400 Series. It has a 23 hp Kawasaki FS Series V-twin and a 60-inch fabricated deck. Speed is up to 10 mph, and a folding roll bar is standard. Husqvarna built it for light commercial work and big properties. Most people searching for a Husqvarna Z460 review want to know if it is worth the jump from the Z200 line.
Engine and drive
The engine displaces 44.3 cubic inches and uses a dual-element air filter. Drive is a Parker HTE hydrostatic transmission. Husqvarna lists speeds of 10 mph forward and 5 mph in reverse. The side-mounted fuel tank holds 6 gallons. That is far more than the 3.5 gallons on the Z200 mowers.
Deck
The 60-inch deck is 10-gauge fabricated steel with three blades and four anti-scalp wheels. Spindles are commercial aluminum and greasable. A foot pedal sets 13 cutting heights from 1.5 to 4.5 inches. A heavy-duty rubber discharge chute protects nearby property. There is no wash port. A 9-bushel collection system, a striping kit and an operator-controlled discharge chute are available.
Operator and service
The seat is a professional design with hinged armrests. The foldable roll bar can be lowered in tight spots. An automatic parking brake and an hour meter come standard. A removable steel floor pan gives quick access to belts and the drive system.
Limits to know about
The Z460 weighs 823 lb and is 74 inches wide with the chute down. It needs a good ramp and a wide trailer. It also costs far more than the Z200 line. Husqvarna points heavy daily commercial use toward the Z500 Series.
Who should buy it
Buy the Z460 if you mow large lawns or run a small crew and want speed, a roll bar and a 4-year warranty. Choose the Z254F or Z248F for a typical home yard.
