ZT2000 Key Features
What Makes the ZT2000 Different
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 (TufDeck Pro on the 48-inch) — drives blade tip speeds up to roughly 18,800 ft/min for a clean, even cut. Adjustable anti-scalp rollers and a 1.5–4.875 in cutting-height range protect turf across uneven ground.
Kawasaki® FR-Series Engine
A reliable air-cooled Kawasaki FR-series V-twin (20–21.5 HP depending on configuration) pairs with a 3.8-gallon fuel tank and 15-amp charging system to keep you mowing through tall, thick grass all day.
Hydro-Gear® Hydrostatic Transaxles
Dual Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transaxles (ZT-2800, or ZT-3100 on the 48-inch) deliver true zero-turn maneuverability with smooth, responsive control and ground speeds up to 8 mph forward — trimming tightly around trees and beds and cutting your mowing time versus a lawn tractor.
High-Back Spring Suspension Seat
A high-back, spring-suspension seat with a seat-slide fore-aft adjustment lever reduces vibration and fatigue over long sessions and dials in the right operating position for any operator.
Durable Frame & Heavy-Duty Tires
Caster arms welded directly to the frame and large drive tires (up to 22 x 10.0-10) provide the stability, traction and maneuverability to mow confidently around any obstacle, in a machine weighing just 684–758 lbs depending on deck.
Easy Maintenance & Add-On Ready
Fast access to internal components makes routine tune-ups simple, and the ZT2000 accepts a range of accessories — mulching baffle kit, deck striping kit, grass catcher, seat suspension kit, ROPS kit, magnetic light kit and more — to adapt the machine to your work.
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.
