2015 Exmark ZTR new steering wheel option

Ric said:

I don't know what Toro you're using but I'd be willing to bet if Toro does come out with a steering wheel ZTR that it will be in the Time Cutter or Titan series ZTR. I can't see one being used for the Commercial Z-Master mower.The thing is the Cub Cadets have never sold or done that well, the lap bar models have out sold them by a big margin. I think their S series will eventually end up the same as the Hustler Zeon that was supposed to be the next big thing in a ztr....Discontinued.

Ric- You might be right about the S series. I'd rather have a flip-up deck..

I'm just a home owner, trying to take care of my space.
My Z is a SS TimeCutter 4260.. Which so far I'm very pleased with.. The 42" really can get into tight spots & fly on the open areas, I was looking at the 5060, but it won't fit into many areas around my house, & eats up too much floor space in my shop, I got 3 bikes, my truck & the Ol's ride..

I would agree no steering wheel for the Z-Master.

PS: The only Z Cubs I see around here are the Farmer's, who has a couple older commercial units with lap bars.

The cub s series is very popular with homeowners around here. There are two on my block. And I've seen prob half dozen others around. One lawn care company has a Tank S.
I think for homeowners they want the speed and maneuverability of a zt but are scared of lap bars.

I've used the lap bars so long, I'd be scared of the steering wheel :smile:

:laughing: That's a good one.. My last 2 mowers were GT's (about 20 years w/them combined), but long ago I ran a Bob Cat for a few years, so the lap bars feel pretty good to me..

The lap bars are great for me much easier on the old back.
