Kubota ZD323 Kubota’s 23-hp. ZD323 features a 60-inch mower with a 6.5-inch-deep design, allowing for efficient cutting in the heaviest of conditions. With close to 45-pounds-per-foot of torque, the high power-to-weight ratio translates into true savings. When compared to competitive gasoline machines, Kubota’s diesel goes beyond merely offsetting the price of diesel, but can significantly reduce overall fuel operating costs as well. Operator comfort is ensured with a user- friendly instrument panel and deluxe suspension seat. An oscillating front axle further increases operator comfort, and an integral lift allows quick and simple maintenance of the deck without timely removal. Scag Cheetah The Scag Cheetah boasts a 2-speed heavy-duty hydraulic drive system, double-tube steel main frame, and adjustable Operator Suspension System. A variety of high-horsepower gasoline engine options deliver maximum power. A low center of gravity and wide stance ensure traction and stability. Ground speeds up to 16 mph result in even higher lev- els of productivity, and a 61- or 72-inch Velocity Plus cutter deck ensures an unmatched quality of cut. Scag mowers feature a 2-year commercial or 3-year/500-hour non-commercial mower warranty, along with a 3-year limited cutter deck and spindle warranty. Snapper Pro S200xt The Snapper Pro S200xt features rugged, fully enclosed ZT-5400 Hydro-Gear commercial powertrains. This new trans- mission option combines with a Briggs & Stratton 28-hp. Vanguard Big Block and a 61-inch iCD Cutting System to cre- ate a “best in class” commercial mid-mount zero-turn mower. With a top speed of up to 10 mph, the Snapper Pro S200xt mows up to 6 acres per hour (based on 80 percent efficiency). The iCD Cutting System allows for better air- flow, discharge and superior cut quality. Toro Z Master G3 Toro Z Master G3 Commercial Series mowers represent the latest additions to Toro’s zero-turn mower lineup. Equipped with Toro’s exclusive Turbo Force cutting deck in widths of 48 and 52 inches, the mowers include 9-3/8- inch-diameter cast-iron spindle housings to absorb impact loads. They also feature Kawasaki engines from 20- to 24- hp., allowing the machines to travel at speeds up to 8 mph. The new models are designed with a low center of gravity, as well as enhanced hillside stability and traction for better control and less “crabbing.” The height-of-cut (HOC) system gives operators 1-1/2- to 4-1/2-inch cuts in 1/4-inch increments and is designed with clear, easy-to- read settings, a single-point setting calibration and a keyhole-style pin. The HOC system’s flexible transport lock al- lows professionals to feather the deck over uneven terrain. The Ventrac HM/HP finish mower Ventrac HM and HP mower decks utilize a rugged all-steel frame design, which suspends the Ventrac’s progressive discharge deck. This design provides a high-efficiency grass discharge for a better quality of cut by moving more grass efficiently through the deck tunnel. The HP deck is a 72-inch mower, which is offset to the left side 6.5 inches. This aids in mowing along ditches, ponds and trimming around obstacles, keeping the tractor on solid ground. All Ventrac finish mowers feature full-width rollers for exceptional yard striping. These professional-grade mowers are built to provide maximum performance and productivity. Wright Stander X Wright Commercial Products’ Stander X mower combines the feature-filled Stander with an easy-to-use deck-lift sys- tem and a new deck design. The height of the Stander X’s 48-, 52- or 61-inch decks can now be adjusted on the fly with Wright’s new generation height-adjustable deck. The Stander X’s 9.5 mph cut speed increases productivity with- out sacrificing comfort. A suspension platform provides a smoother ride, and a full-length thigh-to-knee pad increases operator comfort. With a low center of gravity and large wheels, the Stander X offers outstanding hillside stability. The Stander’s open, unconfined design allows the operator to quickly step off in case of an emergency or to pick up debris. www.greenmediaonline.com/productportal www.landscapeirrigation.com Landscape and Irrigation 29 For more information about any of these products, and more, visit
