Snapper Pro, a Briggs & Stratton Power Products Group brand Toro Z Master Z580-D and Z590-D series mowers Toro Z Master Z580-D and Z590-D series mowers offer the ideal combination of fuel efficiency and performance. Powered by liquid-cooled Kubota 25-hp. or Daihatsu 27-hp. diesel engines, these mowers have the ability to power through conditions that would strain conventional gas mowers. The liquid-cooling system allows for cleaner combustion and an extended engine life. Ad- ditionally, Z580-D and Z590-D series mowers are biodiesel ready. Each engine is approved to utilize up to 20-percent biodiesel blends, which further the environmental friendliness of these machines.

Added to all that is the quick, efficient, Ventrac Mount System that allows you to attach more than 30 commercial-grade attachments in about a minute or less and requires no tools. With the optional, category one 3-point hitch, non- PTO powered attachments can be operated on the rear of the tractor alone or simultaneously with the front.

"At GIE+EXPO this year," comments Walker Marketing Manager Tim Cromley, "we heard from people who re- ported that they had switched from other brands to the more compact MB-style Walker machine and were reporting a gentler footprint on the turf and customers who were much happier with the overall cutting results."

The Sport X combines all the features of the Stander stand-on mower with an easy-to-use deck-lift system and Wright's new AERO CORE deck design. The height of the Sport X's 48-, 52- or 61-inch-wide deck can be adjusted on the fly, and the Sport X's 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.
