ZT2000 Key Features
What Makes the ZT2000 Different
The Bobcat ZT2000 is designed to deliver a comfortable, confident operator experience from the first pass to the last, with the durable construction and straightforward ownership homeowners value.
Three Deck Widths — 42", 48" & 52"
The ZT2000 platform is offered in 42-, 48- and 52-inch cutting widths, so you can match the deck to your property. Choose a narrower deck for tighter gates and obstacle-rich yards, or a wider deck to cover open acreage in fewer passes.
TufDeck Fabricated Cutting Deck
A welded-steel TufDeck — 10-gauge top with 7-gauge spindle supports and 7-gauge side skirts — delivers blade tip speeds from 17,365 to 18,809 ft/min for a clean, even cut. Adjustable anti-scalp rollers and a 1.5–4.625 in cutting-height range protect turf across uneven ground.
Kawasaki® FR-Series Engine
A reliable air-cooled Kawasaki FR-series V-twin delivers 21.5 HP on the 42- and 48-inch decks and 23 HP on the 52-inch deck. A 3.8-gallon fuel tank and 15-amp charging system help keep you mowing through tall, thick grass.
Hydro-Gear® Hydrostatic Transaxles
Dual Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 hydrostatic transaxles deliver true zero-turn maneuverability with smooth, responsive control and ground speeds up to 7 mph forward — trimming tightly around trees and beds and cutting mowing time versus a lawn tractor.
High-Back Spring Suspension Seat
Ergonomic controls, a supportive high-back spring-suspension seat and an anti-vibration floor mat help reduce fatigue and keep operators comfortable during longer mowing sessions. The intuitive layout and integrated parking brake make operation simple and predictable.
Durable Frame & Heavy-Duty Tires
Caster arms welded directly to the frame and large drive tires (up to 20 x 10.0-10) provide the stability, traction and maneuverability to mow confidently around obstacles, in a machine weighing 717–785 lbs depending on deck.
Easy Maintenance & Add-On Ready
Easy access to key service points makes routine oil changes, inspections and belt checks faster and less frustrating. Durable, bolt-on components and a clean layout simplify upkeep and help keep downtime low.
36-Month / 500-Hour Warranty
The ZT2000 comes standard with a 36-month / 500-hour limited warranty — commercial-grade peace of mind, backed by Carleton Equipment's Michigan-wide parts and service network.
