ZTR 308-311 specifications

The Dixon ZTR 308-311 series represents a significant advancement in the realm of zero-turn-radius mowers, designed to blend impeccable performance with user-friendly features. These machines are specifically engineered for both commercial landscapers and discerning homeowners who desire efficiency and precision in their lawn care.

One of the standout features of the Dixon ZTR 308-311 is its robust engine options that deliver high torque and power. These mowers typically come equipped with reliable brands such as Briggs & Stratton or Kawasaki engines, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. The engines provide excellent cutting performance, even in challenging conditions, allowing users to tackle overgrown lawns or heavily textured terrains with ease.

The zero-turn capability is another hallmark of the ZTR series. With the ability to pivot 180 degrees on the spot, these mowers enable operators to navigate tight corners and obstacles efficiently, making mowing around landscaping features or garden beds a breeze. This maneuverability not only saves time but also significantly reduces the need for trimming afterward.

User comfort is addressed in the design of the ZTR 308-311. The machines feature an ergonomic seat with adjustable settings, providing optimal support during extended mowing sessions. The controls are intuitively placed, offering a straightforward experience for both seasoned users and novices. Additionally, the mowers are equipped with a large fuel tank that ensures extended run times, minimizing the need for frequent refueling.

Another remarkable characteristic is the mowing deck's construction. The ZTR 308-311 typically features a heavy-duty steel deck, promoting longevity and resistance to wear from debris and frequent use. The cutting height can easily be adjusted, allowing for versatility across different grass types and conditions.

Furthermore, these mowers incorporate advanced technologies like mulching capabilities and side-discharge options, catering to various lawn care needs. The mulching feature allows grass clippings to be finely shredded and returned to the lawn, promoting healthy growth by returning nutrients to the soil.

In summary, the Dixon ZTR 308-311 series encapsulates a well-rounded mowing solution, merging powerful performance, exceptional maneuverability, and user-centric design. Whether for residential or light commercial use, these mowers stand out as reliable and efficient tools that help maintain lush, beautiful lawns with minimal effort.
