Key Features
The Bobcat ZT6000e boasts several key features that set it apart from traditional mowers. Its electric powertrain delivers instant torque and responsive performance, while eliminating harmful emissions. The 58V lithium-ion battery provides up to 8 hours of runtime, allowing for extended mowing sessions without the need for refueling.
The AirFX cutting deck is engineered to deliver a superior cut quality and clipping dispersal. The deep deck design enhances vacuum lift, ensuring that grass is lifted and cut cleanly. This results in a pristine and professional finish, even in challenging mowing conditions. The mower is available with 52-inch and 61-inch deck sizes to suit various mowing needs.
Three independent electric motors provide precise blade speed control, allowing operators to optimize cutting performance for different types of grass and mowing conditions.

The ZT6000e also features three drive response modes for customized control, ensuring a comfortable and efficient mowing experience.
Furthermore, the ZT6000e requires minimal maintenance compared to gas-powered mowers. With no belts, pulleys, or oil changes to worry about, operators can spend more time mowing and less time on upkeep. The integrated 58V/20.4 kWh Lithium-Ion Battery requires no maintenance, further simplifying ownership. The on-the-go blade speed changes are also a great feature.
