Cast I-beam caster arms to handle the beating and pounding professional mowers receive. Wide-open access for maintenance and cleaning.
• DURABLE, HYDROSTATIC DRIVETRAIN INCLUDING CROSS PORTING DELIVERS BETTER COOLING AND PROVIDES EASY ACCESS: The hydrostatic drive included with the R Series Mowers features two 13-cc (0.8-cu in.) unitized hydraulic pumps combined with commercial-grade, heavy-duty, 13-cc (0.8-cu in.) wheel motors into a single unit. The R Series drive units feature cross porting, where the hydraulic fluid from the side doing the least work is filtered and then fed into the input of the side doing the most work. This ensures that the coolest fluid is going into the side working the hardest in order to provide the best performance during extended hillside operation in the same direction. One pump and one motor drive each wheel on the ZTrak™ R Series Mowers. This provides several benefits: Exceptional cooling in high load conditions. Easy-to-check level and refill hydraulic oil. Opens up access under the seat.

Convenient-to-use controls located close to the operator are color coded and designed for easy identification and operation. The ROPS and seat belt work in conjunction to provide a protective zone around the operator: It reduces the operator’s risk of being crushed under the vehicle should it overturn. When used with the seatbelt, the ROPS can reduce the severity of injury in the event of a rollover.
