Air Induction Mowing Technology
Air is drawn from the top and bottom of the deck, improving grass lift and delivering a superior cut.
Reinforced steel cutting deck
The stamped cutting deck is reinforced with heavy flat-stock steel for added strength and durability on the leading edge and trim side.
Maintenance-Free Transmission
Worry free performance with maintenance free, integrated zero-turn transmissions.
Rugged frame and casters
The robust frame and casters ensure durability and reduced chassis flex.
The deck lift system is spring assisted for ease of use and conveniently located within easy reach of the operator.
The footrest area incorporates generous non-slip surfaces for safe and comfortable use.
The rear guard protects the engine from impact as well as limits access to hot surfaces for safety.
The ergonomic control panel places everything conveniently at your fingertips.
Rubber bellows offer a refined look and prevent debris and moisture from entering the control system.
Powered by Briggs and Stratton, this engine features premium air filtration, chrome plated valves, super finished bearing surfaces, and an over-sized cooling fan for extreme durability and superior performance.
The unique tube style chassis features a removable foot pan for easy access to the top of the cutting deck.
The new patent pending park brake system automatically activates or deactivates as the steering levers are moved outward or inward, freeing the user of the task.
