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 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 exceptional maneuverability.
The Zero Turn Mower Deck is available in 61” or 73” 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.
