Kioti Adds 2 New Diesel ZTR Mowers

Kioti Tractor, a division of Daedong-USA, launched the ZXD Series, consisting of two models: the ZXD61 and ZXD71.

“I’m excited to bring our legendary diesel engines to our ZTR lineup,” said Steven Benedict, turf care product line manager. “This will give customers access to Kioti's excellent durability in a diesel zero-turn mower offering. The diesel mowers are designed like our tractors–hard-working, dependable and easy to use.”

Features include:

• The ZXD Series features a 1.2L KIOTI diesel engine with direct drive transaxles, allowing the machine to be operable without the use of a drive belt.
• The ZXD61 and ZXD72 are equipped with a heavy-duty frame, a shaft-driven reinforced seven-gauge fabricated steel deck and semipneumatic front casters, to create one of the heaviest machines in their class.
• A premium rubber isolated 3-inch suspension seat, paired with an articulating front axle, provides smooth operation over rough terrain.
• With the push of a pedal and turn of a dial, the hydraulic deck lift and height selector dial allow operators to effortlessly change and select the deck height.
• Most routine service items and major components featured in the ZXD61 and ZDX72 can be easily reached. Operators can easily gain access to the top of the deck, fuel filter, pumps, motors and engine, allowing for quick fluid checks and top offs.
• The ZXD Series is equipped with a 1.2-liter KIOTI diesel engine, dual fuel tanks with an combined capacity of 17 gallons, top speeds of 11 mph and 61- or 72-inch deck sizes.
