Exmark unveils next generation of mowers at GIE+EXPO
2 Nov, 2009 By: Landscape Management Staff Athletic Turf NewsLOUISVILLE, KY – Exmark is introducing four new mowers at GIE+EXPO. These products complement Exmark's line-up of professional-grade mowers, some of which have been enhanced for 2010.
• Vantage is Exmark's first stand-on mower, providing users with comfort, increased productivity and a superior cut. Combined with ergonomically designed controls including a variable speed bar, Vantage's self- compensating suspension system reduces operator fatigue and increases job quality. Vantage's durable 1.5x3-in. steel frame is available with 48- and 52-in. decks.
• Quest SP includes enhancements and additional features to the original Quest mower that provide greater durability and productivity in a heavy duty, zero-turn mower. Available with a 20- or 22-hp Kawasaki V-Twin commercial grade engine, the mower's patented, 5-in.-deep cutting deck options include 44, 48 and 52 in. Quest SP has a ground speed of 0 to 8 mph moving forward and 0 to 5 mph in reverse. Other features include a Milsco Michigan Seat, HydroGear ZT3100 hydrostatic drive system and a foot-operated Quick Height Adjust System.
• Featuring a 21-in. cutting deck, the Commercial 21 and Commercial 21 AS mowers are an optimized, clean-sheet design for improved balance and maneuverability. These walk-behind, commercial-grade trim and finish mowers are durable, require less service/maintenance and are easy to use.
• Lazer Z AS is a commercial-grade zero-turn in a value package, with a ground speed of up to 8 mph. Powered by a 20-hp Kawasaki engine, the Lazer Z AS is available with 48- or 52-in. decks, both 5.5 in. deep with cutting heights ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 in. The unibody frame features a rear-sloping foldable ROPS bar and provides operators with a comfortable ride thanks to the unit's high back seat.
Exmark also has integrated alternative fuel and higher fuel-efficiency mowers into its lineup for 2010. Two of the units are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency using alternative fuel that can burn cleaner, as well as reduce carbon deposits, emissions and engine maintenance costs while prolonging the life of the engine.
• As a full-featured hydro mower, the Turf Tracer Propane is tough on grass and easy on the environment. The unit is powered by a 23-hp Kawasaki with a propane fuel system conforming to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. It features dual fuel lock off for added safety (low vacuum and oil pressure activated). The Turf Tracer Propane is available with a 60-in. cutting deck and features Exmark's exclusive Enhanced Control System (ECS), as well as a heavy-duty canister air filtration system, which improve engine life, simplify maintenance and boost overall productivity.
• The propane-ready Lazer Z is setting a new standard for the environment. The unit is powered by a 28-hp Kawasaki V- twin, governed to 3750 rpm. Its propane fuel system conforms to NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code and features dual fuel lock off for added safety (low vacuum and oil pressure activated). Exmark's propane-ready Lazer Z is available with a 60-in. cutting deck and features a full-floating, UltraCut Series 6 5.5-in.-deep deck design.
• The environmentally friendly Lazer Z EFI mower features a Kohler electronic fuel- injection (EFI) engine on the Lazer Z in 29 hp with a 60-in. UltraCut Series 6. These engines offer significant fuel savings, improved performance and reduced emissions.
