The Bush Hog Zero Turn is intended for use on lawns and other frequently
maintained areas where a smooth, even cut is desired and superior ma-
neuverability is needed. The Power Unit consists of a Briggs & Stratton,
Kawasaki, or Kohler twin cylinder engine. The engine has a pressurized oil
lubrication system with spin-on type filter, fused electronic ignition, electric
start and the Zero Turn has a 8 gallon fuel system.
Two hydrostatic transaxles are used for propelling and steering. The
Transaxles are belt driven by the engine output shaft. One lever for each
drive controls both speed and direction. This independent control of each
drive wheel coupled with continuously variable speed selection gives the Zero Turn mower excep-
tional maneuverability.
The Zero Turn Mower Deck is available in 49”, 55” or 61” cutting widths. The Zero Turn Mower
has three cutting blades, driven by an electromagnetic clutch through a single v-belt.
Front, rear, left and right are determined by the normal direction of travel, the same as driving an
automobile.
