AIR CLEANER FILTERS OUT DUST THAT CAN DAMAGE AN ENGINE
ZTrak Z900 Mowers are equipped with a dual-element, canister-style air filter, easily accessible from the rear of the machine without tools.
The filtration system pulls clean air from above the engine, in turn filtering out the dust that can damage an engine over time.
Filters are extremely easy to change when required.
Pre-cleaner provides more protection against contamination in dusty and dirty applications.

MOW ALL DAY ON A SINGLE TANK OF FUEL WITH EFFICIENT AND EASY-TO-FILL FUEL TANK
The ZTrak Z900 Mowers are equipped with one single-fill, top-draw fuel tank:
11.5-U.S. gal. (43.5-L) capacity enables operators to mow all day without refueling.
The fuel gauge makes it quick and easy to see how much fuel is in the tank.
Top draw provides added safety.
A large fuel-filler neck is angled to make it easy for an operator to complete the fueling process.

KEY FEATURES OF THE 7-IRON PRO MOWER DECK:
Deck is forged from 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) steel to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside with fewer sharp corners for reduced material buildup.
Significantly fewer welds on the deck shell to wear or break - it is forged from a single sheet of steel rather than multiple fabrications. An anti-skid step on the deck provides easy machine mounting.
Extra reliability and long life with cast-iron blade spindle housings.
Higher blade tip speed than many competitors - approximately 18,500 fpm (5,639 m/min) for more blade cuts per inch mowed.
A deep-deck design of 5.5 in. (14 cm) delivers excellent airflow so material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
The wider and higher discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
Quick-release belt covers do not require tools or the removal of a ring clip; just lift one corner of the cover and rotate it slightly to remove.
A hole in the deck tab is provided for use of an optional ring clip for extra security, if desired.
This makes it quick and easy for you to clean out trash that may collect around the spindle sheave.
Deck has rectangular leading deck edge reinforcement and the rounded corners of the forged deck help distribute impact stress to reduce the potential of damage when the mower contacts trees, rocks, curbs, and other fixed obstacles.
Dual-captured front and rear anti-scalp wheels provide deck flotation over even the toughest terrain.
Three 1-in. (2.5-cm), cold-forged spindles are heat-treated for strength without bulk and are supported by ball bearings, providing reliability and performance; spindle housings are ribbed cast iron providing both excellent strength and heat dissipation.
The trim edge of the deck is equipped with a bumper that provides great abrasion resistance to protect the machine and the property.
The front edge is raised above the blade plane to allow even cutting of tall grass and is reinforced with a square bar for durability. The front baffle has been redesigned to better manage airflow and control clippings.
Three spindle grease fittings are accessible from the top.
Blade overlap is 1.6 in. (40.6 mm), nearly 0.79 in. (20 mm) greater than previous decks, to reduce striping between blades.
Quick-change, cutting-height adjustment.

ZTRAK M SERIES EFFICIENCY? VALUE? THIS IS WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.
The Z920M, Z930M, Z950M, and Z960M hit the sweet spot where value-driven performance and day-in, day-out driving durability come together. They deliver all the power you need, the effortless Mulch On Demand you want and build quality that ensures years of reliable operation at every turn.

THE DECKS YOU NEED, FOR THE WAY YOU MOW.
7IRON PRO SIDE DISCHARGE Not everyone mows the same. We understand that. Thats why we have you covered with three great decks. First, theres the legendary 7Iron PRO side-discharge deck. Forged from a single sheet of seven-gauge steel using four million pounds of pressure, the 7Iron deck is 5.5 inches (13.9 cm) deep. Which explains why theyve remained an industry standard for over twenty years.

MULCH ON DEMAND
And when it comes to a mulching deck, nothing can touch our Mulch On Demand deck. Because we put the power to choose mulching or side-discharge at your fingertips. By shifting the lever to mulch position, the movable gate closes off the discharge chute.

FASTBACK PRO REAR DISCHARGE
Lastly, if you need to mow right to the edge, theres the FastBack PRO Rear Discharge deck. A unique baffling system reduces clumping and windrowing often associated with rear-discharge decks. So less clippings get on the operator and stay where they should: in the turf
