DESCRIPTION
The Zero Turn is intended for use on large lawns
and other frequently maintained areas where a
smooth, even cut is desired and superior maneuver-
ability is needed. The tractor unit consists of either a
21 hp or 25 hp Kawasaki or a 23 hp Kohler twin cylin-
der engine. The engine has a pressurized oil lubrica-
tion system with spin-on type filter, fused electronic igni-
tion, electric start and a 12.5 gallon fuel system.
Two hydrostatic pumps and two wheel motors are
used for propelling and steering. The pumps are belt
driven by the engine output shaft. One lever for each
drive controls both speed and direction. This inde-
pendent control of each drive wheel coupled with
continuously variable speed selection gives the Zero
Turn mower exceptional maneuverability.
The mower attachment is available in 49” or 55” and
61” cutting widths. The mower has three cutting
blades, driven by an electromagnetic clutch through
a single v-belt.
