Description Z Master® 5000 Series- 26.5 hp Kohler® Command Pro EFI 747cc Engine with 60 in. (152 cm) TURBO FORCE® deck and the all NEW amazingly comfortable MyRIDE® Suspension System. Features Cast Aluminum Spindle - Cools quickly for enhanced durability and performance. MyRide Suspension System - The suspended operator platform allows up to 3.6” of travel (depending on model) and reduces impacts, bumps and vibrations. Easily and quickly adjust rear shock ride settings to personal ride preferences, without tools! Exclusive Turbo Force Deck - High-capacity TURBO FORCE decks deliver unsurpassed strength, a superior cut, and increased productivity in extreme mowing conditions. Equipped with a patented adjustable baffle, TURBO FORCE decks can be fine-tuned in order to conquer changing turf conditions. 7-Gauge, High-Strength Steel - The TURBO FORCE deck is constructed of 7-gauge, high-strength steel which is 33% thicker and 32% higher in yield strength than ordinary 10-gauge commercial steel used in 7/10 decks. The combined effect is 75% stronger, so it easily handles the most demanding conditions and resists damage from impacts and abrasion. A Flat Crisp Cut with Precision Blades - (.250) thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions. Options include Recycler® and Atomic® mulching blades, medium sail Bahai blades, and low sail sand blades. Rubber Discharge Chute - High performance rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damaging chute or landscape structures. Patented design provides exceptional clipping dispersion. Folding Rollover Protection System ROPS - A Rollover Protection System (ROPS), complete with seat belt, comes standard for operator protection in the case of accidental rollovers and tipovers. In situations where sufficient vertical clearance is not available, such as loading on an enclosed trailer, the ROPS can be temporarily unlocked and folded down. Patented Adjustable Baffle - Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, unique job sites or different times of the season. In extreme conditions, the baffle can be opened in order to conserve power and achieve faster mowing speeds. In less demanding conditions, the baffle can be closed to yield micro-sized particles and maximize discharge velocity. Smooth, Powerful Response - The new unitized pump and wheel motor use proven commercial hydraulic components while eliminating hoses and other potential leak points. You'll get a smoother, faster response while enjoying an even more reliable machine. Smarter Design in a Bull-Nose Bumper - 7-gauge bull-nose bumper not only protects against frontal impacts, but also contains an integral underskirt to minimize blowout of debris and dust. The bottom, leading edge of the deck is raised 1/4" (6 mm), allowing grass to stand more upright when entering the cutting chamber, ensuring a level cut. Leaf "plowing" during spring and fall clean-up also is significantly reduced. Operator Information Center - The instrument panel includes a digital hour meter, fuel gauge, and voltage meter, as well as diagnostic indicators for the safety interlock system. Horizon360 Business Management Software - Managing and growing your business is hard work. Using a business management software system shouldn't make it harder. That is why we built Horizon360.
