Exmark launched its new Commercial 30 X-Series walk-behind mower model, expanding the company’s line of 30-inch walk-behind mowers.

The Commercial 30 X-Series has a new, more powerful engine and transmission. According to Exmark Product Manager Lenny Mangnall, the Commercial 30 X-Series is an evolution of the company’s original Commercial 30 model, introduced in 2013.

“With 40-percent more cut area per pass … our Commercial 30 quickly found favor with landscape contractors looking to get jobs done faster without sacrificing cut quality, he says. “The new Commercial 30 X-Series takes that proven formula to the next level with Kohler’s premier single-cylinder commercial engine — the Command Pro CV200, along with a powerful transmission, for increased performance and durability.”

The increased displacement of the powerful Kohler engine gives it 30 percent more torque to power through thick grass. Other notable features of the CV200 engine include cast iron cylinder liners, dual splash and pressurized lubrication, and Quad-Clean air filtration for protection from debris. Cast aluminum oil and air filter bases, along with a steel blower housing provide increased durability. The engine is protected by Kohler’s three-year limited commercial warranty.

Exmark upgraded the transmission on the Commercial 30 X-Series to make the most of the Kohler engine’s additional power. It delivers increased wheel torque to power up hills, with easier tracking on side hills. The positive drive design couples both drive wheels for maximum traction in all conditions, with variable ground speeds up to 3.8 mph. The heavy-duty wet clutch transmission and self-tensioning belt drive are designed for minimum maintenance, according to the company.

The 4.6-inch deep, 30-inch wide cutting deck delivers Exmark’s signature cut quality, with a compact design for maneuverability. The 3-in-1 design offers the ability to change from side discharge, to bagging or mulching, without tools.

Exmark offers a high-performance mulch kit for the Commercial 30 X-Series, which optimizes mulching performance in conditions with wet, heavy grass. The kit can also function as a fill-reduction kit when operating with a bagger.
