Husqvarna Z560 Zero-Turn Mower

The Husqvarna Z560 is a commercial zero-turn mower from Husqvarna's professional line, built for crews that mow large properties day after day. For tree and landscape companies that also hold mowing contracts, it is the kind of machine that pays for itself on acreage.

Who the Z560 suits

A zero-turn mower is a production tool. It turns in its own footprint, so you can cut tight around trunks, beds and obstacles and spend less time on trimmer cleanup. A commercial model like the Z560 is aimed at operators who put hundreds of hours a year on the machine and need a frame, deck and drive system that take that abuse.

Specifications such as engine model and deck width have changed between model years and configurations, so confirm the exact build with the dealer before you buy. Browse other power equipment for the rest of your fleet.

For crews that switch between tree work and maintenance contracts, a commercial mower keeps a steady stream of work moving through the slower months, and the same truck and trailer can often carry both setups.

Buying and maintenance tips

On a used unit, check hours, deck condition, spindle bearings, belt wear and the hydrostatic drive response in both directions. Ask for service records. On a new unit, look at local dealer support, since uptime matters more than sticker price.

Keep blades sharp, grease spindles and pivots on schedule, and change engine and hydraulic oil at the intervals in the operator's manual. Use the rollover protection and seat belt as directed, take care on slopes, and keep people clear of the discharge.
