A zero-turn mower is a lawn mower that is operated with two levers for two individual wheel motors so that the mower can turn at a zero-radius, making it easier to maneuver around corners and objects like trees and landscaping.

Choosing the right STIHL zero-turn mower and deck size depends on how often you mow your yard, the size of your yard, and the amount of time you have to cut your lawn. STIHL RZ mowers come with deck sizes ranging from 42 to 61 inches. They also come with a range of comfort features such as suspension systems, lumbar support, and adjustable arm rests depending on the model you choose.
