Bobcat has commercialized the battery-powered, electric ZT6000e zero-turn mower. Powered by a 20.4-kWh lithium-ion battery, the ZT6000e produces zero emissions during use.
“The ZT6000e is designed for both lawn care professionals and other businesses that want to create their own professional-grade results in a more sustainable way,” said Daniel Stibral, Bobcat grounds maintenance product specialist. “It’s highly maneuverable, efficient and takes on challenging mowing tasks with precision, ease and the perfect cut.”
Performance
On a single charge, the ZT6000e provides up to eight hours* of runtime and mows up to 23.8 acres**, depending on conditions. This machine can be fully recharged in 6.3 hours with a 240-volt connection or in 12.6 hours using a 120-volt connection. Apart from routine recharge cycles, the lithium-ion battery requires no maintenance for the life of the machine.
Built with heavy-duty, dual-tubed steel framing for durability, the ZT6000e is loaded with several features including three drive response modes, swift travel speeds and a command station with a high-back suspension seat and a smart control layout.
Its three drive response modes allow operators to choose how the ZT6000e responds to the movement of the lap bars. Whether operators like a more gradual response, instant feedback or a response somewhere in between, three drive response modes offer customization for operators.
Operation
The ZT6000e is equipped with the AirFX cutting system. The cutting system’s deep profile and bullnose design creates a vacuum that lifts grass to the blade for a uniform cut, resulting in a professional finish. The ZT6000e is available with either a 52- or 61-in. deck.
Three independent electric motors provide high and low blade speeds for heavy and light mowing conditions. Change the blade speed on the go to meet specific mowing conditions.
The ZT6000e serves as a solution for park districts, municipalities and other government entities, as well as landscaping businesses. Producing no emissions, the ZT6000e is also designed for government agencies and commercial landscapers turning to eco-friendly work solutions.
