Husqvarna MZ 61 61-Inch 24 HP Kawasaki Gasoline Zero-Turn Lawn Mower
Product Overview
The Husqvarna MZ 61 Special Edition is a high-capacity residential zero-turn mower designed for maintaining large lawns and acreage efficiently. Its 61-inch ClearCut™ fabricated deck covers a broad path with every pass, while the zero-turn steering system allows the mower to maneuver closely around trees, landscaping, fences, and other obstacles.
This configuration is powered by a 24 HP Kawasaki FR Series engine with 44.3 cu. in. displacement and a 5-gallon fuel tank. The mower combines the engine with a hydrostatic transmission, heavy-duty fabricated deck, suspension seat, large all-terrain tires, and foot-assisted deck lift. Husqvarna identifies the current MZ 61 Special Edition as SKU 970 84 82-01.

Kawasaki FR Series Engine
The MZ 61 Special Edition uses a Kawasaki FR Series engine rated at 24 HP by the engine manufacturer. Husqvarna lists 44.3 cu. in. displacement, two cylinders, air cooling, full-pressure lubrication, and an oil filter.
The engine's 24 HP figure is an engine-manufacturer rating, so it should not be interpreted as wheel horsepower or measured cutting-deck output. This distinction is important when comparing mower engines from different manufacturers.
A 5-gallon (18.93-liter) fuel tank is mounted on the side of the machine, giving the MZ 61 substantial fuel capacity for extended mowing applications.
61-Inch ClearCut™ Fabricated Deck
The MZ 61 is equipped with a 61-inch fabricated steel deck constructed from 11-gauge material. The wide deck allows the mower to cover a substantial area with each pass, making it particularly useful for large residential lawns and acreage.
The deck uses three blades and provides 12 cutting-height steps from approximately 1.5 to 4.5 inches. Husqvarna specifies support for side discharge, mulching, and collecting, depending on the appropriate equipment or attachment.
The deck also features cast-aluminum mandrels, greasable mandrels, three anti-scalp wheels, and a nose roller. Its powder-coated surface helps protect the steel deck during regular outdoor use.
Zero-Turn Maneuverability
The MZ 61 uses independent drive controls to provide true zero-turn maneuverability. This allows the operator to make tight turns and efficiently navigate around landscaping, trees, buildings, and other obstacles.
The mower uses a Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth power delivery and variable ground-speed control. Husqvarna lists a maximum forward speed of 8.5 mph for the current MZ 61 Special Edition.
Comfort for Extended Mowing
Large lawns can require significant time behind the controls, so Husqvarna equips the MZ 61 with a full-suspension seat and armrests. The seat has a high back and is designed to provide support and reduce the impact of vibration while mowing.
A digital hour meter with pre-programmed service intervals helps the operator keep track of operating time and routine maintenance requirements. A cup holder is also included for added convenience.
Durable Construction
The MZ 61 is built around an ultra-durable frame and fabricated cutting deck. Husqvarna also equips the mower with large all-terrain tires designed to handle rougher lawn conditions.
The combination of a robust deck, durable frame, hydrostatic drive, and large tires makes the MZ 61 well suited to regular use on large residential properties.

MZ 61 vs. MZ 61 ROPS
It is important not to confuse this model with the MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition. The standard MZ 61 Special Edition discussed here is SKU 970 84 82-01 and does not include ROPS. The separate MZ 61 ROPS Special Edition is SKU 970 84 83-01, uses the same 24 HP Kawasaki/44.3 cu. in. engine specification, but adds a foldable Roll Over Protection System and has a listed weight of 844 lbs.
For product listings, replacement parts, or servicing, verify the exact SKU and serial number to ensure the specifications and components match the mower being sold. Husqvarna currently identifies the MZ 61 family as a discontinued/support model, while the MZ 61 Special Edition specifications remain available on its product site.
