The zero-turn that makes short work of a big backyard without being more machine than you need. The Masport ZTM 42 spins on the spot to weave around trees, beds and fence lines, so you cut faster and cleaner than a standard ride-on could, with far less backing up and re-lining. Its 42" (107cm) side-discharge steel deck and 17HP Masport MVT500 586cc V-Twin engine make quick, efficient work of large lawns up to 12,000m² on flat to gentle slopes, and anti-scalp wheels on the deck keep the finish even over bumps and dips for a tidy result every pass. The V-Twin runs with low vibration and noise, so a long mow stays comfortable.

It's built to be easy and durable in equal measure. A reliable Hydro-Gear EZT transmission gives smooth, responsive control at up to 9km/h, an electromagnetic Warner PTO clutch engages the blades at the flick of a switch, and alloy spindle housings run the bearings cooler to extend their life. You get seven cutting heights from 25mm to 102mm, a spring-mounted adjustable seat with armrests, ergonomic controls, a deck wash for easy clean-up, plus a tow hitch, park brake and cup holder. Add the optional mulch kit, rear catcher kit or hour meter to suit how you work. It's covered by a 2-year warranty, extended to 3 years on registration.
