The Husqvarna RZ4216 Zero Turn Mower is very similar to the Husqvarna RZ4222F Zero Turn Mower due to the fact that they both have the same 42-inch deck size. However it is important to note that the Husqvarna RZ 4216 is much less powerful, 6 hp less powerful in fact. The engine that drives it is a model of the Briggs & Stratton Endurance series. This air-cooled single-cylinder engine has a displacement of 0. 5 liters. The engine also has a built-in 16-amp alternator to recharge the 12-volt battery used to start it.
Power from the Husqvarna RZ4216 zero-turn mower’s engine is transferred to the wheels via a Hydro-Gear EZT hydrostatic transmission that makes the mower automatic. More importantly, it allows the operator to turn the mower on a dime by letting you control the speeds of each rear wheel independently. This transmission gives the mower a top speed of 10. 5 kph (6. 5 mph) in forward, while in reverse it has a top speed of 5. 6 kph (3. 5 mph), allowing it to mow up to2. 2 acres of grass per hour.
Thanks to its 42-inch deck, the Husqvarna RZ4216 mower weighs 195 kg. Although it is quite light for its size, it is quite long, measuring 1. 91 m (75 in) in length, while its overall width is 1. 47 m (58 in). This great width is mainly due to the large discharge duct. Since this is a zero-turn mower, most of the weight is concentrated on the rear wheels, while the front wheels only function to balance the machine and keep the mower deck from hitting the ground. Each front wheel measures just 11×4-5 (11-inch diameter, 4-inch width, 5-inch rim diameter), while each rear wheel is much larger, measuring 18×7. 5-8 (18inches diameter, 7. 5 inches wide, 8″ rim diameter.
