The industry standard is anything but standard.
The sweet spot for the biggest value in homeowner class mowers has been the ZT Elite for almost a decade. We continuously build it stronger, smoother, more comfortable and more ergonomic. Even after adding improvements, we haven’t sacrificed an ounce of power, strength or performance.

Features
- SMOOTHER STEERING ARM OPERATION: New dampeners provide twice the dampening force for smoother operation, tighter and more precise control.
- DECK DIAL EASY HEIGHT SYSTEM: Foot-assist deck lift pedal for manual deck operation, allowing you to lock-in deck height (up to 4.5") by pushing pedal and simply twisting knob. Deck locks for perfect cut every time.
- EASIER ACCESS: The floorboard of the ZT Elite lifts up for all-access to the belts for cleaning and servicing. Features a heavy-duty rubber floor mat to protect deck surface and provide no-slip on and off access.
- WIDER STANCE AND LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY: You'll notice the better traction and performance—even on slopes—right from the start. Built with heavy-gauge 2" x 2" steel rails—all welded and fabricated, never bolted together - the same way our legendary commercial mowers have always been built.
- CURVED FRONT RAIL: Our lower-profile frame and curved front rail on our ZT Elite lawn mower makes for improved stability with a lower center of gravity creating an even stronger frame. Taller caster bearings feature flat caps. Also allows you to maximize trailer space.
- EASY TO HANDLE PARKING BRAKE: 90° parking brake handle with formed grip is even easier toget a handle on.
- COMFORT SEAT: More cushion and comfort with our adjustable high-back seat. Armrests are padded and can be lifted up and out of the way.
- LARGER TANKS FOR LONGER PERFORMANCE: Our ergonomically designed tanks not only hold more fuel (6.5 gallons) but also improved deep storage capacity and cup holder.
