These mowers are engineered for efficiency, allowing users to tackle large lawns and complex landscapes with ease.

One of the standout features of both the ZTR 60 and ZTR 72 models is their powerful engine options.

They come with an ergonomic seat and user-friendly controls, ensuring that operators can maneuver the mower efficiently without sacrificing comfort during long mowing sessions. The improved visibility and intuitive controls enhance the overall user experience, reducing fatigue and allowing for longer use periods.
