Bobcat electric zero-turn mower available now

Powered by a 20.4-kWh, lithium-ion battery, the new Bobcat ZT6000e zero-turn mower – available in dealerships now – produces zero emissions and delivers productive runtimes in commercial applications. Bobcat said its newest mower requires fewer components and less maintenance than gas-powered equivalents, costs less to operate and leaves behind a high-quality cut.

“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.”

Bobcat said that, on a single charge, the ZT6000e provides up to 8 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 powerful lithium-ion battery requires no maintenance for the life of the machine.

Built with heavy-duty, dual-tubed steel framing for maximum durability, the ZT6000e features three drive response modes, swift travel speeds and a comfortable command station with a high-back deluxe suspension seat and a smart, intuitive control layout. Its three modes allow operators to choose how the ZT6000e responds to the movement of the lap bars. Whether operators like a more gradual response; quick, instant feedback; or a response somewhere in between, three drive response modes offer customization for greater productivity.

The ZT6000e is equipped with Bobcat’s AirFX cutting system which creates a powerful vacuum that lifts grass to the blade for a uniform cut and a professional finish. The ZT6000e is available with either a 52-inch or 61-inch deck. Three independent electric motors provide high and low blade speeds to make quick work of both heavy and light mowing conditions. Change the blade speed on the go to meet the mowing conditions to get more mowing done in less time.

The new ZT6000e is available now at Bobcat dealers for a suggested retail price of $39,199.
