PRODUCT ROUNDUP EQUIPMENT FOCUS 32 DECEMBER 2015 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com PRODUCT ROUNDUP PRODUCTS ALTOZ XE SERIES Altoz will provide several new options for its XE series zero-turn mower in 2016. They include the Altoz Independent Front Suspension (IFS), the industry's first parallel twin A-arm indepen- dent front suspension (IFS). With adjustable coil springs over gas shocks, which are fine-tuned for precise compression and rebound, the IFS system smoothes out rough terrain and allows operators to mow faster with superb comfort and control. The IFS system is designed to further enhance the performance, function and race-inspired style for which Altoz is famous. In addition, the 2016 XE series will be available with a choice of Honda, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton or Kawasaki engines. Altoz, Inc. BOB-CAT XRZ ZERO-TURN MOWER The BOB-CAT XRZ zero-turn mower features a premium high-back elastomeric vibration control (EVC) seat with armrests that reduce vibration for all-day riding comfort. The mower is equipped with 22-inch-wide, rear-drive wheels to help smooth the ride over undulating terrain and provide added traction on slopes. A quick-lift foot pedal allows operators to easily change the cutting height from 1.5 to 4.875 inches in quarter-inch increments. The rugged design of the BOB-CAT TufDeck professional-grade mower deck with patented Double-Wave Baffle System makes grass stand up to meet blades that spin up to 18,800 fpm.

The XRZ's open frame design provides easy access to the engine, filters, belts, battery and more — taking the hassle out of routine maintenance. Flip-up footplate allows for easy access to belts and pulleys for cleaning and service. And, because all BOB-CAT mowers share a common design, parts are readily available and affordable too. The BOB-CAT XRZ line is powered by reliable Kawasaki FR engines and a commercial drive system powered by Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles to produce a ground speed of up to 8 mph. Coupled with a 6-gallon-capacity fuel tank, there's more than enough power and runtime to tackle the largest properties. BOB-CAT/Schiller Grounds Care, Inc.
