Q: I noticed in this mowers description for the simplicity zt2785 zero turn mower W/ ROPS. What does ROPS mean? I have recently noticed this in some bulldozer advertisements as well but I am not 100% sure just what they mean..... thanks JL by Jessie Little from Illinois on March 26, 2012
A: Jessie - ROPS stands for "rollover protection system". The ROPS is the safety bar that is positioned behind the driver's seat if you look at the image of the product. In the event that the mower should lose stability and roll over, the ROPS prevents the mower from turn completely over and pinning the driver underneath the mower. by Todd, Product Expert
The Simplicity ZT2748 zero turn riding mower delivers affordable commercial mowing for a landscaper who doesn’t need to run their mower every day or for a large landowner who needs to spend hours on his zero turn to care for his yard.
The Simplicity ZT2748 sports a powerful 27hp Briggs & Stratton Pro Series V-Twin OHV engine, so you’ll have plenty of power to get your mowing chores finished. The Hydro Gear heavy duty transmission delivers speeds up to 8 mph. This mower is designed for mowing large acreage – 3 acres or more, or for mowing a couple of different large plots in a day.
The Simplicity ZT2748 has a pivoting front axle with shocks along with front and rear suspension that combine with the large 20" X 8" rear turf saver tires for a surprisingly smooth ride. The adjustable 18" high back seat adds even more comfort for the operator that needs to spend a long day in the saddle. The cutting deck, which is made of durable 12-gauge welded steel, converts from rear bagging, side discharging, or mulching.
If you’ve got BIG mowing jobs that you handle on a regular basis, then the Simplicity ZT2748 is among the best choices you can make. This mower delivers a high level of quality, pro-grade features, and a reasonable price. As the name suggests, it is simple to use.
