Trim tighter and finish faster.
The YZ252 is built for the kind of mowing that slows most machines down, trees, beds, gates, and constant direction changes. With true zero-turn control and a deck size that stays nimble, it helps you clean up edges and navigate obstacles without the stop-and-go frustration.
Under the hood, dependable Kawasaki power and a proven drivetrain keep response smooth and predictable, even when the grass gets thicker. Add a suspension seat designed to take the bite out of uneven ground, and the YZ252 becomes the mower you reach for when you want your lawn to look sharp without spending your whole day on it.
