Massey Ferguson LZ-60: The Overview<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s been a while since I last reviewed a zero-turn mower. But today, after receiving some requests from readers and farming enthusiasts, I\u2019m back with a new model. Popular demand seems to be for a machine that can be used for both residential and commercial applications. Selecting the best unit to recommend to you guys was actually quite a challenge as I know several good brands and ranges that can perform at a top level. But then I remembered this one great mower I was able to get my hands on not so long ago: the LZ-60 from a renowned manufacturer, Massey Ferguson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, everyone’s needs differ, especially when it comes to machines with multiple applications. But I have a feeling this may be the zero-turn mower you’ve been looking for.<\/p>\n

Massey Ferguson LZ-60:\u00a0Key Features<\/h3>\n

Unmatched cutting prowess<\/h4>\n

The\u00a0Massey Ferguson LZ-60 can get your mowing jobs done quickly. Whether you have a medium-sized lawn or a huge golf course, this equipment won\u2019t let you down when it comes to mowing around borders and edges. Its standard\u00a0152cm \/ 60\u2033 fabricated deck,\u00a0with three high-precision blades capable of cutting\u00a02.5cm-12.5cm, gives you that flush, professional-looking trim. It also has the ability to extend beyond the mower\u2019s wheels, allowing you to easily shear around trees and flower beds.<\/p>\n

Alongside the floating deck, another spec that adds to the cutting prowess is the pair of 30-litre fuel tanks. With a capacity as big as this, you can work for a longer time before needing to refuel, making it perfect for larger jobs.<\/p>\n

Powerful engine and transmission<\/h4>\n

The mower is powered by a Kawasaki engine beefy enough to punch out 27 horsepower. If you’ve ever sweated and sworn over a stubborn mower, you’ll be happy to know it starts with ease and is designed with a long, happy lifespan in mind. The\u00a0Parker\u2122 hydro Torqpack transmissions contribute to the overall reliability and performance of the mower. What you get is a twin, hydrostatic transmission that offers zero-turn maneuverability. And the twin lap bars, which come standard with the machine, make it easy and comfortable to operate.<\/p>\n

Ergonomic design<\/h4>\n

The best thing about\u00a0Massey Ferguson is that they always equip their farm machinery with superb comfort features. The\u00a0LZ-60 is no exception. With armrests, ergonomically laid-out controls and full adjustability, the operator\u2019s throne provides supreme comfort and space.<\/p>\n

The LZ-60 also comes with a side-mounted systems monitor. With an easy-to-read hour meter, this innovative feature helps the operator monitor battery voltage, oil pressure, and PTO and park brake operation.<\/p>\n

Easy\u00a0maintenance<\/h4>\n

Techie or not, you will find this mower model easy to maintain. Essentially, it has a fast-attach deck system, which lets you remove and replace the deck quicker than a marine can assemble his gun, without the need of any tools. It incorporates 4-bolt automotive-style rear hubs, too, that add strength to the wheels to lessen the likelihood of damage and associated costs.<\/p>\n
