• High-capacity (HC) PRO Mower Decks offer superior cut quality and versatility

Each Z700 Series ZTrak™ Mower is equipped with either a 48-in. (122-cm), 54-in. (137-cm), or 60-in. (152-cm) HC PRO Mower Deck.

The mower deck has a deep-deck design:

• Forged from heavy, 9-gauge, 0.15-in. (3.8-mm) steel.
  • Minimizes the number of welds required
  • Has a smooth underside for reduced material buildup
• Deep-deck design delivers excellent airflow, so large volumes of material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
• A wider and higher discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
• A durable, plastic deflector spreads grass clippings evenly across the lawn, is hinged, and can be raised to minimize the storage space required.

Flip-up spindle covers make cleaning the spindle area convenient.

Dual-captured front and side anti-scalp wheels:

  • Ample legroom for comfortable operation
• Adjustable seat position, armrests, and suspension to suit the operator
  • Can be dialed–in for operator height and weight
• Adjustable motion-control levers
  • Upper and lower positioning combined with forward and rearward tilt offers 18 positions
    • Large, padded areas on the control levers allow a choice of operator hand positions

The patent-pending, adjustable three-position toe board allows any operator to quickly adjust the footrest position for greatest comfort.

• High-back, 22.5-in. (57.1-cm) seat with adjustable armrests and 3-in. (7.6-cm) fore-aft adjustment

The ComfortGlide suspension is an additional system that generates a controlled fore and aft movement of the seat when experiencing undulations in uneven terrain:

• It dramatically reduces horizontal vibrations, prevents jarring, and makes a big improvement to operator ride comfort.
• The feel of the ride is as if the operator is floating over the ground.
• It allows front-to-rear movement, up to 1-in. (2.5-cm) forward and 1-in. (2.5-cm) rearward, to be absorbed.
• One seat control lever has three positions.
  • Slide seat fore/aft up to 3 in. (7.6 cm)
  • Engages fore/aft isolator function to allow movement of up to 1 in. (2.5 cm)
  • Disengages fore/aft isolator function to lock seat in position

Two steel springs under the seat absorb shocks when traveling over rougher areas to provide a smoother ride:

• Fore/aft spring positions – rearward for heavier operators who need more support and forward for lighter operators
• 4-in. (10.2-cm) long steel springs have plenty of travel to give a smooth ride

The seat is securely held down, but is easy to raise when necessary:

• A spring-loaded latch locks seat down when it is lowered.
• The seat is easy to release and raise to access adjustable seat springs on E Series and M Series Mowers.

Adjustable steering levers are shaped for operator comfort and ease of controlling vehicle speed and direction:

• The premium steering levers on M and R Series machines are painted green and have different bends for more hand positions.

• The levers offer 18 different positions for height and position to accommodate operator preference for hand placement and leg clearance.

Model year 2023 and newer R-Series Z700 ZTrak Mowers include standard LED work lights. The lights are integrated into the front of the foot platform and side fenders to protect them from damage and the elements. BUC11547 LED work lights are available as a field installed attachment to upgrade for E- and M- Series models. BUC10301 LED work light kit is for earlier model years that do not have provisions for integrated LED lights.

• Three-position, adjustable foot platform to accommodate different size operators

An ergonomic design and professional grade components are suitable for a wide variety of operators and conditions:

• Comfortable operator station and convenient controls help optimize operator experience.
• Large operator platform allows a wide range of foot positions.

Adjustable features customize the mowing experience for each operator. One of these features is an adjustable foot platform.

The patent-pending, adjustable, three-position toe board allows the operator to quickly adjust the footrest position for greatest comfort:

• Easily and without tools, each operator can adjust the location of the footrest area to the optimum position.
• Adjustment range of 2 in. (5.1 cm) in 1-in. (2.5-cm) increments is possible.

Short operators may be most comfortable with the platform in the rear position (as shown above), while tall operators may be more comfortable with the platform in the forward position. Or perhaps, the middle position provides just the right amount of leg room.

Patent-pending foot pegs (standard on R Series, optional on E and M Series) provide the operator with different foot placement options.

• Foot pegs can be adjusted into two different positions, horizontal or at an angle, to provide more variability for foot placement. The pegs also act as handles to remove and replace the foot platform.
