ZTrak Mowers are designed around a heavy-duty formed and welded steel frame for strength and reliability.

Large front caster wheels and large rear drive wheels provide several operator benefits:

• Smoother ride
• Better slope performance
• More operator comfort over uneven ground
• Better traction

The operator platform is roomy and uncluttered for maximum comfort, and the controls are convenient to use:

• Easy to get on and off the mower
• Ample legroom for comfortable operation
• Adjustable motion-control levers for height and position, enabling the operator to stay comfortable while using them
• Color-coded and logically placed controls

• Engine is smooth and powerful V-twin design

  displacement provides plenty of power and torque to handle tough

  mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions:

  • V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration,
  • and improved sound quality
  • Engine model M44
  • Electronic ignition for fast starts
  • Cast-iron sleeves for longer engine life
  • Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
  • Spin-on oil filter with pressure lubrication for keeping the oil cleaner
  • for long engine life and extended time between oil changes; pressure lubrication is also more effective when operating the tractor on an incline
  • Easy access to the no-tools oil drain valve for oil changes
  • Rear engine guard for protecting the engine and providing additional
  • strength and integrity

  The Z525E engine has extended life series (ELS) features for
