Vigilant Operator Presence System™

- Standard, low profile operator protection structure (OPS) with an adjustable seatbelt

- Dampened steering levers that return to neutral from forward and reverse

- Interlock switches that shut down the engine when the operator leaves the seat while PTO is engaged or levers are in drive position

Rugged Construction

- Robotically-welded steel construction for long-lasting durability

- Centered-bearing design provides greater load-bearing capacity to handle the weight of operator, fuel and high-capacity collector with reserve strength for curb shocks and weight shifts

- Tough-as-nails powder-coated finish is fusion-bonded for chip and rust resistance

Reduced Maintenance

- Only two Access-Eze™ lubrication points cut maintenance time up to 95%

- Self-tensioning belts minimize cost and labor on routine maintenance

Design - Matched Transmission

- Design-matched, fully hydraulic Parker HT Series integrated pump-and-wheel-motor transmissions with in-line cooling fans and fine-particle filtration

- No power-robbing gearbox or other wear parts for longer service life

- Provides best-in-class transmission fluid change interval with no break-in period, reducing costs and maintenance time

Ultimate Operator Station

ComfortZone™ seat eliminates jostles and jolts with coil-spring suspension and a fully padded, high-back seat, padded armrests and variable density foam cushion. Iso-mounting smooths the ride, erases fatigue and keeps the operator comfortably in control at faster mowing speed
