The Accu-Z ZT60i and ZT72i Zero Turn Mowers from Land Pride are commercial duty mowers. They are very maneuverable,extremelycomfortable,highlyproductive, and come in cutting configurations designed to meet the needs of eventhe most discriminating owners and custom operators. This makes the Accu-Z Series one of the premier choices of grass maintenance machines for ranchers, farmers, large estate owners, cemeteries, municipalities, campuses, and landscape maintenance contractors.
TheAccu-Z Seriesmowers come equipped with achoice of either 60" or 72" cutting decks with high blade tip speedsthat rangefrom 18,350feet per minuteon the60" deck to 18,800 feet per minute on the 72" deck. The cutting decks adjust from 1" to 5" cutting height in 1/4" increments. The 60" deck meet the needs of customers who need to mow in tighter areas around obstacles or want to maintain a lower cutting height over undulating terrain. The more productive72" cutting deck will meet the needs of customers with more level and open areas to cut and just want to get the mowing job done faster. The ZT60i cutting deck offers a choice of
23.5 and 27 hp Kawasaki while the ZT72i decks are supplied with 27 hp Kawasaki air cooled engines for proven performance, power, and reliability.
Customers living in areas with hills or warmer and wetter climates will typically want to employ the floating axle capability for enhanced traction capability and a smootherride. Twin-leverhydrostatic steeringwill enable the mowers to turn within their overalllength. Couplethis outstanding maneuverability with a 13 mph mowing speed and low center of gravity and you’ve got mowing capability that’s fast, safe, comfortable, and easy to transport. Top all of this off with Land Pride’sautomotive drum style parking brake and the Accu-Z ZT60i and ZT72i Series mowers from Land Pride will meet the commercial duty needs described above.
