So Many Mowers!

Grasshopper 725DT MaxTorque Diesel Mowers

• T6 hydrostatic transmission is coupled directly to the engine, automotive-style
• T-Drive eliminates need for drive belts, sheaves, idler arms, spring-tension pulleys and associated hardware, while tandem pumps are wholly contained in a CoolTemp HydroMax oil reservoir with self-contained, high-efficiency, fine-particulate filtration
• AntiVibe Power Platform mounts the engine, transmission, rear PTO shaft, and all rotating and drive components onto a separate pallet, iso-mounted to the main frame
• Clean-running MaxTorque diesel engines are Tier 4i-compliant, and are capable of saving up to 900 gallons of fuel over 1,000 hours of use and reducing CO2 emissions by 20% per hour of use compared to propane mowers, according to the company
• DuraMax decks accept the industry-exclusive, patented PowerFold electric deck lift that controls infinitely variable cutting heights and raises the deck nearly vertical

Gravely’s Pro-Turn 400 XDZ Series

• Air-suspension seat includes added seat isolation for a smooth, comfortable all-day ride
• Seat’s air pressure can be adjusted for a custom fit with the touch of a button, and the comfort foam design feels more like an office chair than a standard mower seat, the company says
• Rides smoothly over rough terrain, allowing for faster mowing speeds and increased productivity
• Rubber isolated foot platform to minimize vibration
• 7-gauge fabricated and welded X-Factor deck features a new deck-lift system designed to make raising and lowering the deck almost effortless
• Dial-adjust height-of-cut system is faster and more convenient than pin height-of-cut selectors
• Fully adjustable control handles allow operators to fine-tune settings for an optimum ergonomic position

Husqvarna PZ6029FX

Husqvarna says its PZ series combines a high ground speed with optimum cutting performance.

• Two deck options: side discharge or Combi, both made of 7-gauge steel
• Knives on the side-discharge deck raise the grass before cutting
• Combination of a 6-inch deck depth, high-performance blades and optimized deck baffles enables an enhanced cut quality and clipping dispersal
• Oversized deck opening on the side-discharge deck is less restrictive and allows a higher ground speed even in heavy mowing conditions
• Combi deck provides the option of a mulching process or a rear discharge of the grass
• Easier to service –open design makes the engine, hydraulic system and all other parts easily accessible, and the entire machine can be dismantled in less than 30 minutes

Hustler Industrial-Grade Super Z

Under average use of 800 psi, Hustler says competitive units are working 356% harder than its HyperDrive Industrial Hydro System. The system includes:

• Two Sauer Danfoss DDC-20 variable-displacement, industrial-grade slipper piston pumps
• Parker TG028 wheel motors which utilize a patented, extra heavy-duty torque link with a 60:40 spline geometry
• High-capacity, 3-inch-thick, 10"x10" aluminum oil cooler with filter screen
• 12-volt, 9-inch fan with an integrated shroud pulls air through 100% of the oil cooler surface
• 3-gallon reservoir with easy-maintenance, threaded filter and drain plug, and increased micron-count filter for a cleaner running system
• Wheel motor has an added pressurized shuttle that routes hot oil to the cooling system, regulating temperatures for increased life and performance

John Deere ZTrak PRO Z925 EFI

John Deere says its ZTrak PRO Z925 with electronic fuel injection (EFI) can help provide up to 25% fuel savings.

• Closed-loop EFI system allows the engine to automatically adapt to load, weather, fuel and altitude changes

• Fuel injectors respond to the load on the engine with the right amount of fuel
• 27-hp engine includes an exclusive Tuff Torq integrated transmission, which features 13cc piston-style pumps and 13cc wheel motors for increased efficiency
• Cross-porting system routes the coolest hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic pump doing the most work
• 7-Iron PRO mowing decks stamped from 7-gauge steel
• 54-inch deck includes the John Deere exclusive Mulch-On-Demand technology that allows the operator to switch between mulching and side discharging without ever leaving the seat
