Scag - Mowers - Freedom Z 52″

Freedom Z 52″

The entire Freedom Z lineup of zero turn mowers from SCAG has been designed to help you do one thing and one thing only – get more free time and enjoy more freedom from lawn care while providing top-quality results at the same time!

Engineered to offer commercial mowing capabilities at an affordable price point, this zero turn mower takes advantage of the best in American engineering (and American steel) to produce a zero turn lawnmower that’s going to be a workhorse for your lawn care needs for years and years to come.

With a mowing deck that sits at 48 inches wide (4 feet) you’ll be able to quickly handle large lawns, shaving a tremendous amount of time off of your lawn care routine just because of this new oversized mowing deck.

Combine that with the efficiency and high-speed of a zero turn mower – one that’s powered by a Kohler 7000 Series mower (with either 22 hp or 24 hp) – and you’re looking at something really special here.

Easy to control, easy to maneuver, and designed to be almost infinitely customizable so that every time you sit on the Freedom Z 48 inch mower it feels custom tailored to you – with controls always at your fingertips – it doesn’t get much better than this.
