        If you have hills and need a zero turn buy this
        Delivery tracker was bad/misleading. It first showed delivery date to local shipper who then scheduled delivery one week after that. Also, machine is delivered in driveway on a pallet in a wooden enclosure. It took several hours for me to figure out how to get it out. Because of the two week delivery time, my lawn was up to 18" high in spots. ZTS2 54" had no trouble at all and was a joy to run. I live on a hill with lots of trees and very steep slopes. This navigated it all with zero trouble.

          Climbs like a billy goat! My yard is all on a hillside. I was concerned with using a regular zero turn or tractor on it. This mower is the trick. Highly recommended this mower!

          Good item
          Had it shipped to the house. Came in a wooden crate. It is very easy to attach the battery cable and discharge flap. This is the best riding machine i have ever owned. I love the adjustable steering wheel. It has a lot of POWER
          by
            Love it! It drives smoothly, looks cool, and I *love* that this zero-turn machine has an actual steering wheel and not those difficult levers. I’m new to driving a machine like this. I’ve only driven automatic cars, so it was a learning curve for me to operate this riding mower. Clutch and choke are new concepts for me, but a neighbor gave me a “beginner’s lesson”, and I actually read the manual. I also looked at youtubes on how to start this thing. 1. Make sure it’s in park (level down, towards the seat, not the front of the mower). 2. Put throttle all the way up towards the front of the mower. 3. Turn the key to START. 4. Pull throttle down a bit to RABBIT (full throttle), not TURTLE. 5. Go down your driveway, and when you hit the grass, lower the BLADES by lifting the yellow PTO button. Then it gets real loud and the blades are now ready to cut. There’s no brakes, which seemed weird to me. If you don’t put your foot on the FORWARD or REVERSE peddles, that’s the brakes, I guess. Make sure you wear ear protectors because it’s LOUD, louder that a Metallica concert. My only complaint is that there’s no gas gauge. I put gas in, and I can’t see how full the tank is. The tank is not transparent. Also, the guy who gave me the lesson on how to operate this thing says that this mower has tons of safety features that make it more confusing to drive. For example, you have to hit a lot of buttons to go in reverse when you’re mowing or the engine will cut off. What confused me was that you have to “engage” the blades. I never had a riding mower before. I only had a push mower, and with a push mower, you pull the string, it starts, and you’re set to go. You don’t have to lower the blades. So the “PTO” button was confusing to me. Anyway, I’m thinking that people who read this review already know all this (and are probably laughing at my ignorance), but if anyone is new to operating a riding mower, I hope this helps.

            Best purchase ever
            Let me tell you this mower is a beast. We have steep hills in our backyard and I have no problems mowing them at all. Yes the first time I was scared about tipping but OMG. We aptly named it the beast. We just got it this year after going through several mowers since moving here and I will never give this baby up. My husband and I argue over who is driving it.

              The mower is great. It works like I thought it would. The only problem is it did not come with the oil change hose. I have been in contact with you (Home Depot) and the issue is still being worked on.

              complete pain in the butt
              I still don’t have the zero turn, first the delivery date was 4/22 then 4/23 then 4/25 and then 4/26. Today is the 28 and no zero turn. We have jobs, places to be and not knowing when to be home to receive the delivery is BS. Tall grass and bad communication is making the wife and me extremely unhappy. When it finally shows up and we use it a few times I will review the zero turn but intil then Home Depot delivery gets a 0 stars.
