POST-SHOW RECAP
Updated operator console and heavier throttle and choke cables for more reliable control.
The new module offers improved protection and eliminates temporary control resets, ensuring consistent operation throughout the workday. The operator now has a more responsive, intuitive tap-to-adjust gate control— a short tap for minor adjustments or a longer tap for full open / close— providing precise control over airflow. The control system is no longer tied to the engine start and brake functions, streamlining the start-up sequence and boosting overall reliability.
EXMARK PRODUCT UPDATES
Exmark announced several product updates. Turf Tracer with XiQ Technology Looking to refine and expand the performance of its autonomous commercial mower— the Turf Tracer with XiQ Technology— Exmark released a number of updates to the machine’ s operating system.
Exmark focused the operating system updates around improving the consistency of path planning and providing quicker response to heavy cutting conditions. RTK coverage has been improved as well, and the machine now selects the best network to use automatically.
Remote stop functionality has been added to the Exmark XiQ app, eliminating the need for crews to charge and carry a separate remote stop device.
New service reminders have been incorporated into the operating system, so they now appear on the machine’ s 4.3- inch color display. This makes it easier for operators to track the service needs of each machine. In addition, new Spanish and French language options have been launched both for the machine’ s operating system and Exmark’ s XiQ app. 2026 Radius E- and S-Series zero-turn mowers Exmark unveiled redesigned 2026 Radius E- and S-Series zero-turn mowers.
The 2026 Radius E-Series features a new Exmark Series 2 + cutting deck in a choice of 48- 54- or 60-inch cutting widths. Fabricated and fully welded of high-strength steel, with maintenance-free sealed bearing blade spindles, the Series 2 + cutting deck is durable and low maintenance. Exmark’ s Adapt system is available as an accessory. Adapt enables quick, tools-free deck rake adjustments from the operator seat, so the operator can tailor deck performance for specific turf types and cutting conditions.
The new Radius S-Series features Exmark’ s UltraCut Series 3 cutting deck, with available Adapt tools-free deck rake
adjustment as an accessory. Fabricated and welded of highstrength steel, with a 10-gauge top and 7-gauge steel skirts, the UltraCut Series 3 cutting deck offers higher capacity while preserving the cut quality Exmark owners expect. When combined with the higher capacity HydroGear ZT-3100 transmission, the Radius S-Series can mow at speeds of up to 9 mph, with pinpoint control for maximum efficiency on any property. Large 23-inch drive tires and a deluxe suspension seat offer increased operator comfort by reducing bumps and vibrations that reach the operator. Tractus drive tire system Exmark launched its second generation Tractus nonpneumatic tire system. The revamped Tractus system features an increased load rating to more easily handle the loads landscape pros put on them. The non-pneumatic Tractus design eliminates flat tires, while delivering up to five times longer lifespan than conventional pneumatic tires. The larger contact patch Tractus tires provide increased traction while reducing ground pressure for reduced turf compaction. The lambda design of the new Tractus system also offers a smoother ride quality than pneumatic tires over rough terrain.
GRAVELY PRO-STANCE ULTRA Gravely expanded its commercial stand-on portfolio with the introduction of the Gravely Pro- Stance Ultra. The new platform features 52- and 60-inch deck offerings, plus a 72-inch EFI model.
