Additionally, the ZT17542 comes equipped with an ergonomic seat and controls, allowing for extended periods of comfortable mowing. The high-back seat offers lumbar support, while the controls are intuitively placed for easy access, minimizing fatigue during long jobs.

Another notable characteristic of this mower is its maintenance-friendly design. With both a deck wash port and easy-to-remove components, upkeep and cleaning are straightforward, ensuring that the mower remains in peak condition for years to come.
