How the RZ-XD is put together
There's one engine across the line: Kawasaki's FX730V, rated 24 hp, with a 9.5-gallon tank. You pick the deck. It comes in 48, 54 or 60 inches.
Each deck is reinforced 7-gauge steel, 5 inches deep and full-floating. Cutting height runs from 1.5 to 4.75 inches in 14 positions. Overall widths are 49.5, 55.5 and 62.5 inches.
Parker HTE transaxles with 10cc drive motors give you 9 mph forward and 5 mph in reverse. It rides on 13-inch bias-ply fronts and 24x12-12 Reapers in back.
Why 7-gauge? It's thick steel, and it stands up to the knocks a deck takes around trees, posts and roots. Five inches of depth gives grass room to lift before the blades cut it.
RZ-XD or one of its siblings?
Next to the RZ-HD, the RZ-XD runs Kawasaki's FX730V instead of the FR730V or Briggs. It also swaps the deluxe seat for a Dymetrol seat on a 360-degree floating platform. If you're on the mower for hours, you'll notice the seat.
The RZ-XD Blackout steps up to a 25.5 hp Kawasaki FX801V. It comes in 54 and 60 inches only. Need a 48-inch deck? Stay with this one.
Of the three decks, the 48-inch at 49.5 inches wide is the one for tight gates and a crowded shed. The 60-inch makes sense where you've got long, open runs.
Spartan lists the weight at 907 to 1,095 lb. The drive and deck build don't change between sizes. It suits a homeowner with a couple of acres on up. Browse our zero-turn mowers on j5tractors.com, then come take a look.
