Home Shop Bad Boy Mowers 2012 Commercial ZT Series

A COMMERCIAL UPGRADE FOR A COMMERCIAL SUCCESS.

We took our best-selling — and popular — ZT and upgraded it to an honest-to-goodness commercial grade mower ready to tackle the grind of mowing day-in and day-out. The higher horsepower engine options and dual rear hydraulics for power, larger tires for better traction and larger Hydro-Gear® drive for heavier-duty performance round out an economical feature-packed mower that’s ready to go to work. It’s got all the attributes of every Bad Boy, including the incredible value that beats every other mower in its class—and now it’s all business.

We don’t just raise the bar for the industry,

we raise it for ourselves. The ZT set a new standard for what a zero-turn consumer mower should be, so much so that even commercial operators took notice. To accommodate the professionals that appreciate the CZT’s rugged small stature, we kicked it up a notch. Now they’ve got one they can truly call their own.

Power Packed.

With upgraded Vanguard or Kawasaki engines, this CZT is ready for the day-in and day-out demands of commercial lawn mowing operations.

Adjustable Comfort.

Standard on the CZT, our adjustable handles will make your mowing experience more comfortable right from the get-go.

Easy Operation.

Features electric blade start and electric adjustable deck height, for easy mowing operation.

3400 Hydro-Gear® Drive System.

Upgraded for the demands of commercial mowing, this bigger and better version of our popular ZT drive features a 12cc Hydro-Gear® pump and all-steel gearing with heavy-duty steel bearings. Easily serviceable with replaceable filters and hydraulic fluid reservoir, it’s quiet, smooth and more powerful than ever!
