Lawn-Boy Z340HLX zero-turning-radius riding mower

Date Published: 11/21/08

Propelled by a powerful Honda GXV engine, the Lawn-Boy Z340HLX is an efficient zero-turning-radius mower, designed to get the job done quickly and professionally.

The twin-cylinder engine, which features pressure lubrication and a spin-on filter, is nicely engineered to deliver long-lasting power. The 42-inch deck is wide enough to keep the time actually spent cutting the grass to a minimum.

But even if you did spend most of the day on the lawn, user-friendly features make the Z340HLX comfortable to operate. The high-backed seat comes standard with adjustable arm rests, and can be slid to just the right position with a single lever. A combination of a low center of gravity and hydraulically dampened steering levers provide a nice sense of control and maneuverability. The engine cover--which helps muffle engine noise--can be easily removed without tools.

The Lawn-Boy Z340HLX mower also comes with headlights, a cup holder, a small storage compartment, a non-slip floor mat, and anti-scalp wheels.
