Performance Benefits
Synchro-Steer™ Stability Advantage
The standout feature is the 4-wheel steering system, which helps maintain straight lines on slopes and improves traction control compared to traditional zero-turn lap-bar machines.
Strong Kawasaki/Kohler-Class Power (22HP)
The Kohler 7000 engine delivers smooth, consistent torque for handling thick grass and uneven mowing conditions.
Fabricated AeroForce™ Deck
The 42-inch fabricated deck improves airflow and cut quality, reducing clumping and delivering a more uniform finish.
Easier Control for New Users
The steering wheel setup makes the machine feel more like a tractor while still providing zero-turn maneuverability.
Better Slope Handling (Compared to Standard ZT)
Synchro-steer improves stability, especially on side slopes where traditional zero-turns may feel less controlled.
