Key Features
Powerful Commercial V-Twin Engine
The Z740R is powered by a 23.5 hp (17.5 kW) FX-series V-twin petrol engine, delivering strong torque and reliable performance for professional mowing applications.
Zero-Turn Manoeuvrability
The dual hydrostatic transmission system allows independent control of each drive wheel, enabling true zero-radius turning. This improves productivity by reducing trimming time and allowing precise mowing around obstacles.
Fast Ground Speeds
With forward speeds of up to 16.1 km/h (10 mph), the Z740R enables operators to cover large areas quickly without compromising cut quality.
Hydro-Gear® ZT-3400 Transmissions
Commercial-grade Hydro-Gear ZT-3400 transmissions provide smooth power delivery, excellent cooling and long-term durability under heavy workloads.
ComfortGlide™ Suspension & Premium Seating
A 24-inch high-back seat with adjustable mechanical suspension enhances operator comfort, reducing fatigue during extended mowing sessions.
Adjustable Cutting Height System
A convenient dial adjustment system allows cutting heights to be set in ¼-inch increments between 1.5″ and 5″ (3.8–12.7 cm), ensuring precise control across different turf conditions.
Optional Tweel™ Airless Tyres
Optional Michelin X Tweel™ tyres eliminate punctures and reduce downtime, offering improved durability and ride quality in demanding environments.
Versatile Grass Management
The mower supports side discharge, mulching and collection systems (attachments required), providing flexibility for different mowing finishes and applications.
