EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

BOBCAT ZT7000 Bobcat’ s ZT7000 zero-turn mower offers commercial-grade power backed by transport speeds up to 19 mph and mowing speeds up to 13 mph. The science behind the mower’ s“ perfect cut” technology is the AirFX deck, which comes in two sizes— 61 inches or 72 inches— designed with dual-layer, 10-guage steel, over a quarter-inch steel construction. Durable and built to tackle all turf types, these decks feature a deep, bullnose design that increases vacuum and lifts grass up to the cutting blade for superior quality of cut. The Air-Gap baffle design under the deck provides efficient grass dispersion, allowing for high-speed mowing in all conditions. With a 15-gallon fuel tank system, two engine options with up to 38.5 hp., and a hydrostatic transaxle drive system featuring a two-speed foot pedal, these zero-turn mowers deliver power and professional-grade performance. Operators benefit from a comfortable command center featuring suspension seating, anti-vibration technology and responsive, ergonomically designed controls.

EXMARK LAZER Z X-SERIES ZERO-TURN RIDING MOWER Thirty years after the launch of the Lazer Z, Exmark unleashed the next generation of its premier Lazer Z X-Series model. Choose from 52-, 60- or 72-inch Ultra- Cut Series 6 side-discharge cutting decks, or a 96-inch UltraCut rear-discharge flex-wing cutting deck. Sidedischarge cutting decks feature Exmark’ s exclusive Adapt technology, enabling quick deck rake adjustments without tools. Increased ground speeds increase productivity, with up to 12 mph forward on models up to 72-inch, and up to 10.5 mph on the 96-inch model. Heavy-duty cast caster wheel forks deliver maximum durability and precise alignment, and large-diameter airless caster tires provide a smooth ride with zero flat tires. The Lazer Z X-Series has just four annual grease points, plus automatic belt tensioners, and sealed maintenance-free spindles. Standard LED lighting to the front and sides of the mower makes it possible to extend the length of the workday when needed.
