ZT2460 specifications

The Swisher ZT2460 is a robust and high-performance zero-turn mower designed for both residential and commercial landscaping needs. It stands out in the market with its combination of power, versatility, and innovative engineering, making lawn care a more efficient and enjoyable experience.

One of the main features of the ZT2460 is its powerful 24 HP Kawasaki engine. This powerhouse provides reliable performance and ample torque for mowing even the most challenging terrains. The engine boasts a V-twin configuration, ensuring smooth operation and reduced vibration, which contributes to a more pleasant mowing experience. Additionally, the engine's air filtration system helps to extend its lifespan by keeping dirt and debris to a minimum.

The ZT2460 is engineered with a heavy-duty steel frame that provides exceptional durability. This sturdy construction allows the mower to withstand the rigors of regular use while ensuring stability and safety during operation. With a cutting deck width of 60 inches, the ZT2460 offers an expansive cutting area, making it ideal for tackling large lawns quickly and efficiently. The adjustable cutting height feature ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 inches, giving users the flexibility to achieve their desired lawn finish.

A key technological advancement integrated into the ZT2460 is the hydrostatic transmission. This technology allows for smooth acceleration and precise maneuverability, enabling the operator to navigate tight spaces and obstacles with ease. The zero-turn capability means that the mower can pivot on its own axis, significantly reducing the time taken to complete mowing tasks. This makes the ZT2460 particularly advantageous for intricate lawn layouts with flower beds and trees.

Comfort is also a priority in the design of the ZT2460. The mower features a plush, high-back seat with armrests that provide support during long periods of use. The ergonomic controls are intuitively placed, enhancing the user experience by allowing easy access to various functions without taking hands off the steering levers.

For added convenience, the ZT2460 is equipped with a large fuel tank that maximizes mowing time before refueling is necessary. The mower also offers various attachment options, such as baggers and mulchers, making it a versatile tool for year-round lawn care. Overall, the Swisher ZT2460 is a powerful, reliable, and user-friendly choice for anyone looking to elevate their lawn maintenance game.
