ZTR 5424, ZTR 5020 specifications

The Dixon ZTR 5424 and ZTR 5020 are prominent models in the world of zero-turn mowers, known for their reliability, cutting efficiency, and user-friendly features. These mowers are designed for both residential and commercial use, providing exceptional maneuverability and performance.

The Dixon ZTR 5424 is equipped with a powerful 24-horsepower engine, offering robust performance and ample power for cutting through tough grass and uneven terrain. With its wide 54-inch cutting deck, this model allows for efficient mowing over large areas, minimizing the time required to complete yard work. The deck is crafted with heavy-duty materials to ensure durability, while the adjustable cutting height makes it versatile for different grass types and seasons.

On the other hand, the ZTR 5020 features a slightly smaller engine, typically around 20 horsepower, making it ideal for residential users with medium-sized yards.

Both models utilize a dual-blade design, which enhances cutting efficiency and improves grass discharge, ensuring a well-manicured lawn.

One of the standout technologies found in both models is the hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth acceleration and seamless speed adjustments. This technology allows operators to control the mower with precision while eliminating the need for shifting gears, making mowing more enjoyable. Additionally, the zero-turn design allows for the impressive turning radius, enabling users to make sharp turns around obstacles without leaving uncut patches.

User comfort is also a priority in the design of both mowers. Equipped with ergonomic seats that reduce fatigue during extended use, the ZTR 5424 and ZTR 5020 ensure a comfortable riding experience. Easy-to-reach controls, including adjustable steering levers and intuitive dashboard features, enhance operational ease.
