Smoother Steering Arm Operation

New dampeners provide twice the dampening force for smoother operation, tighter and more precise control.

Deck Dial Easy Height System

Foot-assist deck lift pedal for manual deck operation, allowing you to lock-in deck height (up to 4.5") by pushing pedal and simply twisting knob. Deck locks for perfect cut every time.

Comfort Seat

More cushion and comfort with our adjustable high-back seat. Armrests are padded and can be lifted up and out of the way.

Easier access

The floorboard of the ZT Elite lifts up for all-access to the belts for cleaning and servicing. Features a heavy-duty rubber floor mat to protect deck surface and provide no-slip on and off access.

Wider Stance And Lower Center Of Gravity

You'll notice the better traction and performance—even on slopes—right from the start. Built with heavy-gauge 2" x 2" steel rails—all welded and fabricated, never bolted together - the same way our legendary commercial mowers have always been built.

Easy To Handle Parking Brake

90° parking brake handle with formed grip is even easier to get a handle on.

Larger Tanks For Longer Performance

Our ergonomically designed tanks not only hold more fuel (6.5 gallons) but also improved deep storage capacity and cup holder.

Curved Front Rail

Our lower-profile frame and curved front rail on our ZT Elite lawn mower makes for improved stability with a lower center of gravity creating an even stronger frame. Taller caster bearings feature flat caps. Also allows you to maximize trailer space.
