Exmark Relaunches Lazer Z Suspended Operator Platform

Exmark is offering a suspended operator platform option on its Lazer Z S-Series commercial zero-turn mowers this spring. The new model is an exciting addition to the 2026 product line.

The new model came at the request of Exmark customers, many of whom already own the previous generation of suspension platform equipped Lazer Z models. The platform was quietly discontinued a few years ago. Since then the company has seen an increase in request for reintroduction - many calling the feature a game changer for crews mowing rough, uneven terrain.

The Exmark suspended operator platform uses three coil-over hydraulic dampers to significantly reduce the impact of bumps and vibration reaching the operator. The design is quick and easy to adjust without tools for virtually any operator weight or ride preference. The coil-over dampers are designed to deliver a lifetime of maintenance-free performance.

The suspended operator platform also includes Exmark’s patented Iso-Mount seat isolation system, which provides controlled lateral and vertical isolation to further improve ride quality. When combined with the wide, contoured seat profile and elastomeric foam seat base, the suspension platform equipped Lazer Z S-Series delivers unmatched all-day comfort.

Available with a 60-in. UltraCut Series 4 cutting deck and a Kawasaki FX801V engine, the suspension platform equipped Lazer Z S-Series has the power and productivity landscape crews need to finish jobs fast. Plus, with just four annual grease points and maintenance-free sealed bearing spindle assemblies, the Lazer Z S-Series is designed to virtually eliminate in-season downtime due to maintenance.

On-board diagnostics keep the operator informed with an electronic fuel gauge, battery voltage warning, hour meter and OPC safety switch monitoring. A large 12-gallon fuel tank provides extended runtime between fill-ups.
