Hello there, I'm looking to make my first nice purchase and was looking for some real world advice. Went to the local dealers and checked out the the husqvarna mzt-52 and the exmark radius e series in 52". This will be used for my own 1.0 acre lawn. Overkill I know, but after running commercial mowers for years when I was younger, I appreciate how a nice mower works on lawns and figure this machine will last me for 20 years.
On paper the husky has heavier duty drive chain/ engine and it's gunna be 5-700 cheaper. Never ran a husky or seen the cut quality and I'm also a bit skeptical as to why it's so much cheaper? Any input would be a huge help. Cut quality and reliability are the important things I'm looking for here! Thanks in advance

I run an RZ5424 and have commercially for 5 years. No issues with the mower except for what I did to it my self. Mine is the residential version so the one you are looking at is better. I have spoke with a few guys aroud here that run them and they all said the same thing. Why would you spend more for a equal or lesser machine. I have seen the fab deck cut and it is nice.
Appreciate the response. I guess I'm from the school of thought that you get what you pay for. Even though the husky looks like a "better" machine on paper for less $ I'm skeptical. A search on here and another site I saw a few people having issues with the husky, but I haven't seen any for the radius. Good to see you haven't had any and also got good cut quality. Any one else use either machine ?
