Product Features
Built To Perform
Elite Value
The ZT Elite has long been our biggest seller. Built as tough as they come with patented front suspension and superior comfort, you'll get a quality cut at an even better price.
Mowing is a Breeze
Formed from tough 7-gauge steel with reinforced edges, the unique baffling system maximizes airflow for greater grass lift and a cleaner cut. Easily adjust deck height to dial in your lawn.
Powerful Engine Options
Two powerful engines to choose from — including limited-edition options from Kohler. Reliable engines that perform year after year, season after season.
Prioritizing Your Comfort
The all-new independent front suspension helps the mower glide over any terrain for a smoother, more comfortable ride, backed by a steering dampening system for better response.

Our best-selling mower for a reason
Bought this after my neighbor recommended it. The front suspension makes a huge difference in comfort on my bumpy yard.

Great value zero-turn
Cuts great, tough deck, and the price was way better than the competition for the same build quality.

Solid residential mower
Does everything I need for my 2 acres. The cup holder and comfort seat are nice touches for long mows.

Love the Kohler engine option
Runs strong and starts every time. Deck cut quality is excellent even in thick grass.

Reliable and comfortable
Been mowing with it for a full season now, no issues, and the ride comfort is noticeably better than my old mower.
