The Bobcat Zero-Turn ZT3000 52SD is a ride-on mower for lawns and larger maintained grass areas. It combines a 1320 mm side-discharge deck with a 22 hp Kawasaki FT691V engine. In addition, this 726 cc V-twin petrol engine uses a dual-element air filter. A 14.3-litre fuel tank supports the machine’s operating requirements.

TufDeck Pro Cutting System

The TufDeck Pro cutting system uses a 10-gauge top, 7-gauge spindle supports and 7-gauge side skirts. Furthermore, its fabricated deck carries three adjustable anti-scalp rollers. Operators can set the cutting height between 38 mm and 121 mm. Meanwhile, the flexible moulded polymer discharge chute directs clippings from the deck. Blade tip speed reaches 18,142 feet per minute at 3,550 engine rpm.

Hydrostatic Drive and Steel Frame

Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 hydrostatic transaxles control travel on this zero-turn lawn mower. Forward speed ranges from zero to 12.8 km/h. By comparison, reverse speed ranges from zero to 5.6 km/h. In addition, each transaxle has a 10 cc pump displacement, while the system holds 3.8 litres of oil.

The Bobcat Zero-Turn ZT3000 52SD uses a welded 7-gauge steel frame with rectangular steel tubing. Additionally, Bobcat attaches the caster arms directly to this frame. The machine measures 1930 mm long and weighs 341 kg wet. It runs 22 by 11.0-10 drive tyres and 13 by 6.5-6 front caster tyres.

Operator Comfort and Mowing Requirements

Operator support comes from a high-back seat with EVC and spring suspension. Also, a slide lever provides fore and aft seat adjustment. Ergonomically positioned controls support direct machine operation from the seated position.

The 52-inch zero-turn mower suits owners and operators managing regular mowing across established grassed properties. Its 1320 mm cutting deck covers a defined working width with side discharge. As a result, the zero-turn configuration supports directional control around common landscape features.

The Bobcat Zero-Turn ZT3000 52SD brings the FT691V engine, fabricated steel deck and hydrostatic drive into one machine. Finally, buyers can compare its verified dimensions, speeds and cutting range against their mowing requirements before purchase.
