The Dixon ZTR 60 and ZTR 72 are prominent entries in the zero-turn radius mower market, designed for both homeowners and commercial operators seeking durability, performance, and exceptional maneuverability. 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.

The robust engine setups ensure that users can consistently achieve an even cut, regardless of the terrain.

Both models boast a heavy-duty, responsive hydrostatic transmission that provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, enabling operators to make precise turns and navigate around obstacles seamlessly.

Comfort is another key focus in the design of these zero-turn mowers. 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.

Additional features include a robust chassis built from premium materials that ensure longevity and resistance to wear. The ZTR line also prioritizes safety, incorporating features such as roll bars and safety switches that automatically engage when the operator leaves the seat.
