Performance

  • HIGH-PERFORMING AND RELIABLE KAWASAKI FX SERIES ENGINE: The reliable 23.5-hp Kawasaki® FX series engine provides commercial-quality performance with canister air filters, smooth power output and outstanding durability. Kawasaki FX series engines are among the most respected engine designs in the industry.
  • AIRFX DECK: The bullnose AirFX™ deck empowers you to deliver a cut above the rest. It features a deep-deck design that increases vacuum, lifting the grass to the blade for a superior quality of cut and professional finish. Its tough construction, including the spindle assemblies and air-gap baffle technology, stand up to the toughest commercial-grade workloads. The AirFX deck is available in two sizes, a 52-inch deck or 61-inch deck. Bullnose Design: The robust bullnose design provides optimal durability while lifting the grass and increasing the vacuum effect. Steel Fabricated Spindles: The AirFX deck's steel spindles deliver the hard-wearing, long-lasting durability you need for nonstop mowing productivity. Adjustable Front Lip: The deck's adjustable front lip optimizes your cutting capability for all kinds of mowing conditions and grass types. Deep-Deck Design with Patent-Pending Air-Gap Baffles: The deep-deck design and patent-pending Air-Gap baffles create powerful airflow throughout the cutting deck. This allows the cutting system to efficiently move the clippings out from the extra-large discharge chute and evenly disperse them on the ground or into the collection system. You can tackle tough mowing and get a cleaner deck at the end of the workday. Bolt-On Baffles: Remove and replace as needed without cutting and rewelding. Polymer Discharge Chute: The flexible, molded chute is constructed for even clipping dispersal and improved deck cleanliness.
  • COMMERCIAL-GRADE TRANSMISSION: Designed for demanding jobs, the Hydro-Gear® ZT-3800 transaxles deliver all the performance and torque you need for all-day mowing at a productive speed.
  • PRODUCTIVE TRAVEL SPEED: Ground speeds of up to 11mph, along with 24-inch zero-turn drive tires, help you cover big and small lots in less time.
  • DUAL FUEL TANKS: Dual fuel tanks provide 7.8 gallons of total capacity for maximum productivity and less stopping for fill-ups.
  • 24-INCH DRIVE TIRES: The large wheels give you great control and a smooth ride, plus ample ground clearance to minimize ground disturbance and enable easy maneuverability on tough terrain.
