Designed to meet the needs of production mowers, the 997 diesel Z-Trak is equipped with a 31-hp Yanmar diesel engine. This engine provides more displacement and peak torque than most competitors, which allows operators to maximize acres mowed per hour. Available shaft-driven mower decks include 60- or 72-inch 7-Iron II™ side discharge decks and a 60-inch rear discharge deck.
