Mower Focus | Eco-friendly Mowers Snapper Pro S200xp The Snapper Pro S200xp propane-powered zero-turn mower offers automotive-like starting with no need for a choke. Touting a dedicated propane engine, not a converted gasoline engine, the S200xp boasts a Briggs & Stratton 895-cc Vanguard Big Block. The engine is specially designed with vapor-draw fuel tanks to ensure consistent and hassle-free operation. The drive system is a dual-path hydrostatic system that provides smooth, reliable operation. Each drive wheel is independently powered by a Hydro-Gear ZT-5400 powertrain. The mower deck is a 61-inch iCD Cutting Sys- tem, featuring cast-iron greaseable spindles for longer life. An easy-to-use deck lift takes the effort out of adjusting the cutting height (1.5 to 5 inches in .25-inch increments). Toro Z Master 6000 Series propane-powered mowers As part of its continuing commitment to investigate technologies that are both customer-valued and environmentally responsible, Toro offers propane-powered Z Master 6000 series zero-turn mowers with cleaner-burning fuels that can reduce engine maintenance cost and extend engine life. Engineered with a Kawasaki FX801V engine, these machines offer ground speeds up to 11.5 mph. Their single propane tank holds 43.5 pounds of liquid propane mounted behind the seat, allowing for better deck and drive tire visibility. And these propane-powered mowers are available with deck sizes of 60 or 72 inches. Based on a study by the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), a propane-powered mower (on average) results in 48 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than a gasoline-powered model. Wright Sport X Wright Commercial Products' Sport X mower is equipped with an easy-to-use deck-lift system and Wright's new eco- friendly Aero Core deck design. The height of the 48-, 52- or 61-inch decks can be adjusted on the fly, and the 9.5-mph cut speed increases productivity without sacrificing comfort. The fold-away seat is positioned so the operator can step off for quick exits or to remove debris, and the mower stops immediately. An operator presence switch on the foot platform stops the blade and engine, and the control levers return to the neutral position when the operator lets go. With a low center of gravity and large wheels, the Sport X has superior hillside stability. www.greenmediaonline.com/productportal WANT TO • TARGETED LEADS • SUPERIOR PENETRATION • PROVEN VALUE • OUTSTANDING RESULTS Then rent our list of targeted, qualified readers for your next direct mail promotion.
