Each Z700 Series ZTrak™ Mower is equipped with either a 48-in. (122-cm), 54-in. (137-cm), or 60-in. (152-cm) HC PRO Mower Deck.

The mower deck has a deep-deck design:

• Forged from heavy, 9-gauge, 0.15-in. (3.8-mm) steel.
  • Minimizes the number of welds required
  • Has a smooth underside for reduced material buildup
• Deep-deck design delivers excellent airflow, so large volumes of material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
• A wider and higher discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
• A durable, plastic deflector spreads grass clippings evenly across the lawn, is hinged, and can be raised to minimize the storage space required.
• 1-in. (25.4-mm) cold-forged spindles are heat-treated for strength and are supported by ball bearings.
• Standard front rollers and two double-captured wheels provide a more even mowing job and reduce the chance of scalping.
  • Adjustable for different mowing heights
• The front edge is raised above the blade plane to allow for even cutting of tall grass.
• Blade overlap is greater than many conventional decks for a clean cut.
• The mower can side-discharge, mulch, or collect material, except a Z740R or Z760R equipped with Tweel tires are not compatible with a material collection system.

Optional MulchControl™ attachment

The MulchControl attachment makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material.

Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

• A beautiful looking lawn
• Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
• Less fertilizer use
• Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings

The operator station is designed to provide superior operator comfort for many different operators:

• Adjustable foot platform
  • Ample legroom for comfortable operation
• Adjustable seat position, armrests, and suspension to suit many operators
  • Dialed in for operator height and weight
• Adjustable motion-control levers
  • Upper and lower positioning combined with forward and rearward tilt offers more legroom and hand positions

The patent-pending, adjustable three-position toe board allows any operator to quickly adjust the footrest position for greatest comfort:

• Easily and without tools, each operator can adjust the location of the footrest area to the most suitable position.
  • Adjustment range of 2 in. (5.1 cm)
• Large operator platform allows a wide range of foot positions.
• An attractive floor mat is optional on E and M Series.

Light-emitting diode (LED) work lights

Model year 2023 and newer R-Series Z700 ZTrak Mowers include standard LED work lights. The lights are integrated into the front of the foot platform and side fenders to protect them from damage and the elements. BUC11547 LED work lights are available as a field installed attachment to upgrade for E- and M- Series models. BUC10301 LED work light kit is for earlier model years that do not have provisions for integrated LED lights.
