Riding mower joins Bobcat lineup

Pro grade ‘turf-taming machine’ arrives from compact equipment maker.

“Everything about the Bobcat ZT5000 is designed to cover more turf area at productive speeds while leaving behind a high-quality cut,” said Ron Scheffler, senior product manager.

Bobcat Company has expanded its lineup of zero-turn mowers with the launch of the ZT5000.

The compact equipment maker called this, “a high-performing, turf-taming machine that’s built to tackle challenging mowing tasks with precision, ease and the perfect cut.”

Designed for both lawn care professionals and property owners who are looking to create their own professional-grade results, the mower delivers what it described as, “productive travel speeds and uncompromising mowing power.”

The mower offered, “increased mowing productivity, including the dual fuel tanks, tool-free deck access for quick-and-easy cleaning, and the comfortable operator’s station with a high-back suspension seat and ergonomic controls,” said Ron Scheffler, senior product manager.

Features include a 23.5-hp Kawasaki engine; Hydro-Gear ZT-3800 hydrostatic transaxles; and an AirFX cutting system with a deep-deck design and air-gap baffles that increases vacuum, lifting grass to the blade for a superior cut and professional finish, said the firm.

It has large, 24-inch drive tires, said the company, and dual fuel tanks which provide 7.8 gallons of total capacity. This is the latest model among a lineup of Bobcat zero-turn mowers.
