Cub Cadet Showcase New PRO Z Series At SALTEX: Stand L180

Visitors to this year’s Saltex will bear witness to Cub Cadet’s commitment to the professional market, with the newly designed Pro Z Series, commercial, zero-turn mowers being a highlight of the show. The company has gone right back to the drawing board in developing this innovative range, displaying its dedication to developing high performance and efficient machinery for landscaping professionals.

The Pro Z Series line up consists of the PRO Z1, PRO Z5 and the PRO Z7, with each machine being designed to meet the specific needs of professional landscape contractors.

These machines are the strongest, most efficient mowers to have ever been created by Cub Cadet, and have been given the official seal of approval by 100 landscapers who put them through their paces for a rigorous testing period of 16 weeks. All of the machines have been developed with extreme strength at their core. The PRO Z5 and PRO Z7 have been designed and built with the industry’s only Triple 7-gauge deck, which features three layers of 7-gauge steel, plus a 1/4-inch leading edge and 5/16-inch side reinforcements. From frame to front yoke, the Pro Z Series is designed to absorb the impact of rough terrain and stand up to the demands of everyday professional use.

In addition to this, the full-length laser-cut steel frame and 5/16-inch steel rear bumpers are protected with a durable e-coating. This precise, multi-stage process provides automotive-grade corrosion defence and goes above and beyond the industry standard. High-back suspension seats with lumbar support and padded armrests come as standard, meaning that you can work fatigue free, for longer and in more comfort than ever before.

The market-leading steering system – Synchro Steer – delivers the ultimate manoeuvrability and control, with smooth, precise handling and increasing hillside stability.

The PRO Z1 is equipped with a 137cm / 54” welded cutting deck and can cover 5,000 m2/h with speeds of 9.5 mph. The PRO Z5 has a 152cm / 60” cutting deck and with a 10mph cutting speed, can cover up to 6,000 m2/h. Finally, the PRO Z7 has a 183cm / 72” cutting deck, has a cutting speed of 12mph and can cover up to 7,500 m2/h.

The PRO Z1 produces a commercial-quality cut with landscaper-approved speed, efficiency and comfort. It is equipped with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engine by Kohler, which makes the machine extremely fuel efficient, saving both time and money; two things that are always in high demand!

The PRO Z5 allows users to maximize work days with efficient engines, larger fuel capacity and an industry-leading commercial cutting deck. Its high-torque commercial transmission paired with a high-horsepower, commercial-grade Kawasaki engine, work seamlessly together to provide optimal and consistent blade tip speed.

The jewel in the crown is the PRO Z7, which offers greater rated power, higher top speeds, more comfort and a larger deck. This machine makes a hard day’s work easy, providing extreme power via the commercial-grade Kawasaki engine, and ultimate comfort with the seat benefiting from an isolation dampening system with lumbar adjustments.

Phil Noble, Field Sales and Technical Manager for Cub Cadet UK, said: “The PRO Z series is loaded with features that have been painstakingly designed for exceptional performance, unmatched comfort and beautiful results. We are dedicated to working with the professional sector, and believe that we have created products that will prove to be, not only popular, but indispensable to the market.”

Toro Keeps The Green flag Flying: Nottingham Trent University invests in Toro to maintain Green Flag status

Green Flag status was granted to Nottingham Trent University’s Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses six years ago, and today each site boasts a brand new Toro CT2240 mower to maintain amenity areas and uphold this prestigious reputation.

The 20-year-old Green Flag Award Scheme recognises and rewards well-managed, publicly accessible green spaces, setting an international benchmark for their management. A Green Flag awarded site is a welcoming, well-maintained place, which draws people in.

Landscape services coordinator Alan Horgan says: “We worked hard to achieve Green Flag status so we have to ensure we always equip our team with the best machines possible to continually meet this standard.”

So when those at Nottingham Trent chose Toro for the first time, it came down to one simple reason, explains Alan: “We invested in the Toros because we knew they would help us meet the high standards visitors and students have come to expect. This became clear when the CT2240s performed best during a demo, convincing me and my team that the machines would be the right investment for the future of our campuses.”

The CT2240 compact cylinder mower, which combines all the benefits of Toro’s CT2120 and 2140 in one machine, is equipped with Mk3 200mm cutting units in numerous blade configurations, while independent cutter head lift provides flexibility to suit the mowing environment and ensure productivity remains at an optimum.

Nottingham Trent’s two machines are playing a large role in the day-to-day maintenance of both of sites, says Alan: “Ever since they’ve been put to action, they’ve done exactly as promised by their specs and met the needs of the University.

“The operatives speak highly of the new Toros’ usability too. The comfort of my team is really important; the machines are used on a daily basis and happy operatives will always result in better productivity.”

Overall, Alan considers his first Toro purchase a positive one: “We bought the machines through [Toro dealer] PS Marsden, who we have worked with for many years, and they provided excellent customer service as always. Throughout the deal we also had the help of Reesink’s Stuart Jeffs, who was professional and very accommodating of any questions.”

He concludes: “We’ve had recommendations from other Toro users and now we can see why. Given how our machines have performed so far, combined with our hard-working grounds team, we are confident that our Green Flag status will fly high at Clifton and Brackenhurst Campus for years to come.”
