Rugged Frame


Rugged Frame

A commercial-grade carrier frame, constructed of 2" x 2" x 3/16" tubular steel, supports the cutting deck and stands up to the rigors of professional use.*

*Z400 Estate Series shown


Deck Offset


Deck Offset

Z400 Series cutting decks are offset toward the trim side in order to provide trimming capabilities that are superior to those of comparable compact ZRTs. The trim side of the deck is also reinforced by a rugged 1/2" x 1-1/2" steel wear guard.


Folding Rollover Protection System ROPS


Folding Rollover Protection System ROPS

A Rollover Protection System (ROPS), complete with seat belt, comes standard for operator protection in the case of accidental rollovers and tipovers. In situations where sufficient vertical clearance is not available, such as loading on an enclosed trailer, the ROPS can be temporarily unlocked and folded down.


The industry's toughest spindle assembly


The industry's toughest spindle assembly

Rigorously tested to ensure that it can survive impacts that would destroy lesser spindles. The cast iron housing, with a massive 9-3/8" diameter base, absorbs impact loads and distributes them across a broader area of the robust deck shell.


Comprehensive Warranty*

Comprehensive Warranty*

1 year Limited, 2 year Engine, Hydrostatic & Deck Shell and 3 year Spindle Assembly.**

**Third year parts only.


Patented Adjustable Baffle


Patented Adjustable Baffle

Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, at unique job sites or different times of the season. In extreme conditions, the baffle can be opened in order to conserve power and achieve faster mowing speeds. In less demanding conditions, the baffle can be closed to yield micro-sized particles and maximize discharge velocity.


A flat, crisp cut with precision blades.


A flat, crisp cut with precision blades.

1/4" thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions.* *Z400 Series blades are similar to those found on the Z500 Series pictured below.


Smarter design in a bull-nose bumper.


Smarter design in a bull-nose bumper.

7-gauge bull-nose bumper not only protects against frontal impacts, but also contains an integral underskirt to minimize blowout of debris and dust. The bottom, leading edge of the deck is raised 1/4", allowing grass to stand more upright when entering the cutting chamber, ensuring a level cut. Leaf "plowing" during spring and fall clean-up is also significantly reduced.


Convenience and Comfort

Convenience and Comfort

Operator controls are conveniently grouped in a single location.
Large 1-5/8" diameter steering levers increase comfort and reduce fatigue.


7-gauge, high-strength steel


7-gauge, high-strength steel

Constructed of high-strength 7-gauge steel (50,000 psi minimum yield strength), the deck shell is extremely resistant to impacts and abrasion. At a full 5-1/2" deep, the TURBO FORCE deck has more than enough capacity to handle the most demanding conditions.*

*Comparison based on 7-gauge high-strength steel versus ordinary 10-gauge commercial steel.


Rubber Discharge Chute


Rubber Discharge Chute

High performance 5/16" rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damaging chute or landscape structures. Patented design provides exceptional clipping dispersion.


Exclusive TURBO FORCE® Deck

Operator-Controlled Discharge Chute-OCD


Operator-Controlled Discharge Chute-OCD

Landscape friendly rubber discharge chute provides complete control of clippings. with three discharge settings, from wide open to blocked, the ODCD will put the clippings where you want them and not in beds, streets, etc. The integral design allows the discharge chute to remain in place and on the machine, reducing the risk of personal injury and property damage.

They're available in over-the-seat and arm-rest styles and in sizes that match varying machines…and mowing needs.


Z Stand Kit


Z Stand Kit

Exclusive Toro Z Stand provides an on-board tool to simply elevate the front end of the machine and provide easy access to the underside of the deck, at the shop or in the field. Just swing the on-board Z-Stand jack out in front of the cutting deck, then drive forward until it locks into place.*

Perfect as an overnight cover for mowers stored outside, it's also ideal for offering longer-term protection during winter storage. The vented design helps promote air movement around the mower to prevent build-up of harmful heat or moisture. The rider cover fits most styles of Z mowers.
