One deck, built deep
There's just one RT-Pro, and it's a 61-inch. The deck is reinforced 7-gauge steel, full-floating and 6 inches deep. That's an inch deeper than the RZ decks.
Cutting height runs from 1.5 to 4.75 inches in 14 positions. It's Kawasaki's FT730 up top, rated 24 hp and fed by a 9.5-gallon tank.
Tuff Torq TZT transmissions with 13cc drive motors move it at up to 11 mph forward. Reverse is 5 mph.
Why a 6-inch deck? The extra depth gives heavy, wet grass room to lift and clear the chute. On a mower that cuts thick grass all day, that matters.
Made for a day's work
Who's it for? A lawn crew, someone who keeps church lots or subdivisions cut, or an owner with a big property mowed weekly. At 11 mph, the RT-Pro covers ground faster than the 9 mph RZ line.
It rolls on 13-inch bias-ply fronts and 24x12-12 Carlisle Turf Armor rears. Spartan lists the weight at 1,052 to 1,099 lb. You'll sit in Spartan's premium seat.
Is it right for a homeowner? It can be, if you've got a big place and want a crew-style mower. What sets it apart is the deep deck and the 11 mph top speed.
Fourteen height positions let you leave a tall cut through a dry spell, or take it down after a wet week. Its 13cc drive motors are bigger than the 10cc motors on the RZ line.
