Its AirFX cutting deck, offered in 61- or 72-inch widths, uses dual-layer 10-gauge steel construction and a deep bullnose profile to increase airflow and lift for a uniform finish. An Air-Gap baffle design promotes efficient clipping dispersion in dense grass. A 15-gallon fuel tank, two-speed hydrostatic drive and operator-focused control layout are intended to reduce downtime and support consistent commercial productivity.
Exmark Lazer Z S-Series with suspended operator platform
The Exmark Lazer Z S-Series commercial zero-turn mower returns with an available suspended operator platform designed to reduce vibration and fatigue during long shifts. The platform uses three coil-over hydraulic dampers and can be adjusted without tools to match operator weight or ride preference. Exmark’ s Iso-Mount seat isolation system adds controlled lateral and vertical movement to improve comfort.
Equipped with a 60-inch UltraCut Series 4 deck and a Kawasaki FX801V engine, the mower is designed for high output commercial mowing. Maintenance demands are reduced with four annual grease points and sealed bearing spindle assemblies intended to limit in-season service. The configuration focuses on productivity and operator comfort while supporting efficient operation on large properties.
