Semi-Pro Zero Turn Mower Buyer's Guide

Semi-pro zero turn mowers let you have your cake and eat it too. They're built for speed and comfort.

Semi-pro zero turns can cut as quickly as their commercial-grade cousins, mowing at speeds of 8-9 mph.

Plus, you'll be sitting in a luxurious, full-suspension seat, flanked by multiple cup holders.

Deck Size
How many acres do you need to mow? The answer to this question will help you decide the correct deck size.


As a rule of thumb, the wider the deck size, the faster you mow. But you can't just choose a 60" mower and call it a day.

If your yard has lots of obstacles to mow around, choose a zero turn with a smaller deck for better maneuverability. If your yard has gentle inclines, a ZTR with a wider deck is optimal because of superior balance.

Engine
All the engines in this family of zero turn mowers will deliver top speeds to help you get the job done fast.

So it really comes down to choosing an engine brand – the American-made Briggs & Stratton or Kohler engines, or the high-performance Kawasaki engine.

Semi-Pro Features
All semi-pro zero turn riding mowers include the step-up performance and comfort features found on a mid-grade zero turn, and then some!

Features include heavy-duty, welded steel decks, larger rear tires, larger fuel tanks and more cutting height adjustments just to name a few.
