Choices. There is probably no other piece of equipment in your professional landscaping fleet for which you have so many choices. For 2008 there are more than 30 manufacturers of commercial Zero Turn mowers offering about 600 different models to North American landscapers. The collective line-up includes 513 gas powered models, 69 diesel powered units and 16 mowers fueled by propane. It’s big business for the manufacturers and dealers as the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute forecasts 230,000 Zero Turns to be shipped this year, about the same volume as last year. In the Special Zero Turn Edition of FocusOn Landscapers, we are providing you with a snapshot of 33 of the commercial manufacturers of Zero Turn Radius Riding Mowers. For each company this is a listing of their model count and the company’s web site to link to so you can obtain the full details on each brand. We have also included expanded information on some of the new models you can expect to see available this year.
