BOB-CAT introduces
consumer zero-turn mowers
BOB-CAT, a Schiller Grounds Care brand of
commercial walk-behind and zero-turn riding mowers,
recently introduced the BOB-CAT CRZ, an all-new
consumer zero-turn mower line that brings professionalgrade power and performance to the residential zero-turn
riding mower market. With models that come in 48-,
52- and 61-inch deck sizes — all powered by rugged
Kawasaki engines — and a starting price less than
$5,000, the BOB-CAT CRZ zero-turn makes it affordable
for do-it-yourself home landscapers to tame their terrain like the pros this mowing season.
For a quality cut, the BOB-CAT CRZ features BOB-CAT's all-new TufDeck cutting system
with a patented double-wave baffle for maximum airflow and lift — making grass stand up and
take what's coming to it from high-lift cutting blades that spin at up to 18,000 feet per minute with
a large impact-resistant discharge chute that fans clippings to eliminate clumping for a crisp,
clean finish on the first pass. Height-adjustable anti-scalp ball rollers fluidly follow the contours of
the most undulated turf. The CRZ's wide stance and turf-friendly rear-drive wheels provide sure
footing on hills and slopes as well.
BOB-CAT keeps you mowing with the CRZ. The unit's formed and welded reinforced 10gauge-steel TufDeck is built to take whatever the ground can throw at it. And the CRZ's openframe design allows easy access to operator controls, engine and vital components that make
regular maintenance quick and easy too.
Built for the property owner who demands professional durability and performance, the BOBCAT CRZ is available in 3 models:
• 48-inch deck with Kawasaki FR600V 603-cc engine
• 52-inch deck with Kawasaki FR651V 726-cc engine
• 61-inch deck with Kawasaki FR691V 726-cc engine

Subaru Industrial Engines recently announced the
introduction of 2 big block V-Twin engines. The 35-hp.
EH90 and 40-hp. EH99 meet a growing demand for larger,
air-cooled gasoline engines that deliver increased power
for a wider range of applications. The engines are ideal
for equipment like concrete polishers, riding trowels, utility
vehicles, zero-turn mowers and ride-on blowers.
The EH90 and EH99 are extremely durable and low
maintenance, and they boast heat-reduction technology.
Both engines are 999 cc and feature heavy-duty
connecting rods, large crankshaft bearings and 3-ring
pistons. The hardened exhaust valve and seats can handle
high temperatures, which improves engine performance,
efficiency and overall life of the engine. Temperature
sensors are located on the engine heads and will shut off
the engine to prevent any damage from overheating due to
clogged air intake valves.
In addition, the standard 4-cycle overhead valve (OHV)
gasoline engines feature a dual-element air filter that
protects the engine from dust and reduces maintenance.
A Donaldson canister-style air cleaner comes standard on
both engine configurations and has an inlet precleaner,
which offers additional filtration by removing a majority of
the particles before they reach the filter, thereby minimizing
maintenance and extending the intervals between
cleanings or filter changes.
Furthermore, a low oil pressure sensor allows
equipment manufacturers to offer control panel alerts or
automatic engine shutoff. Pressurized lubrication systems
keep the engine well lubricated by pumping oil directly to
every critical bearing, even when a piece of equipment is
operating at extreme angles. The pressurized lubrication
system also allows the OHV engine to use an automotivegrade spin-on oil filter, which does an exceptional job of
removing dirt and carbon solids to keep the oil clean and
extend the time between oil changes. The engine also has
an oversized oil cooler to reduce the temperature of the oil
in the engine to extend oil life.
The big block engines comply with all current EPA
and CARB requirements and provide a viable alternative
to diesel engines. Both engines are backed by Subaru's
5-year limited warranty, the first and only 5-year warranty
in the industry.
