Product Overview

For more than 30 years, the Exmark Lazer Z has been the choice of more landscape professionals than any other zero-turn mower. For pros that demand the absolute best durability, productivity, cut quality and innovation, the Lazer Z X-Series is the number one choice. With more configuration options than any other Exmark mower, the Lazer Z X-Series is the pinnacle of state-of-the-art commercial mowers. Choose from 52-, 60-, or 72-inch UltraCut Series 6, or massive 96-inch UltraCut Rear Discharge cutting decks. Our exclusive flow control baffles and Adapt tools-free deck rake adjustment deliver Exmark Signature cut quality and higher cutting speeds in any mowing conditions. Powered by a choice of state-of-the-art big block EFI V-Twin commercial engines from Kawasaki, Kohler and Vanguard, the Lazer Z X-Series powers through the largest jobs with ease. A long-travel full suspension operator seat features isolation bumpers to deliver a smoother ride for reduced operator fatigue.

When you’re looking for the pinnacle of power, performance, cut quality and durability in a commercial zero-turn mower, the Lazer Z X-Series is the obvious choice. Be sure to check out our other Lazer Z models as well, including the Lazer Z Diesel.

Features may include:

UltraCut Series 6 Deck
  • Our full-floating side-discharge deck design uses dual-capture anti-scalp rollers and double-row sealed bearings for ultimate durability, with splined blade drivers to stop bolt tightening from impacts. Plus, our patented idler arm bearing design needs only annual service. (The 96-inch Flex Wing deck is a rear-discharge design.)
Vanguard Oil Guard System
  • With oil change intervals of 500 hours, the Vanguard Oil Guard system increases mower uptime and decreases maintenance. Available on select Lazer Z X-Series models, the Oil Guard system also decreases engine oil temperature by 20-30 degrees.
Adapt Your Cut
  • Adjust deck rake quickly and easily without tools, from the operator seat, to optimize cut quality and performance in a variety of turf types and conditions. Adapt is particularly useful when mowing in wet, overgrown, or lush conditions, or stemmy grasses and weeds.
Easy to Service
  • The new Lazer Z X-Series is easier than ever to service, thanks to a rear engine guard that removes with just four bolts. Plus, a redesigned seat mount enables easier access to the engine and hydro drive components. Tools-free deck and hydro belt installation further eases maintenance.
Maximum Productivity
  • With a combination of increased power, faster control response, larger cutting decks and a high-capacity hydro drive system, Lazer Z X-Series delivers maximum productivity.
Superior Operator Comfort
  • Our new ergonomically-advanced operator seat features long-travel suspension and our exclusive iso-mount seat isolation. This seating system increases productivity by reducing operator fatigue, so each worker can work stronger, longer.
