Z Master Z400/Z500

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.

Convenience and Comfort

Operator controls are conveniently grouped in a single location. Elastomeric seat with standard arm rests. Built-in cup holder provided.

7-gauge, high-strength steel deck

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 deck has more than enough capacity to handle the most demanding conditions.

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

High-performance Discharge Chute

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

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

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*

Model Year 2008 and Prior: 1 year Limited, 2 year Engine, Hydrostatic & Deck Shell and 3 year Spindle Assembly (third year parts only).

Model Year 2009: 4 years or 1,200-hour limited warranty, with limited lifetime frame warranty.

Operator-Controlled Discharge Chute

Landscape friendly rubber discharge chute provides complete control of clippings. With three discharge settings, from wide open to blocked, the Operator Controlled Discharge Chute (OCDC) 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 on the machine, reducing the risk of personal injury and property damage.

Cool Tops™ Downdraft System

Available exclusively from Toro, the Cool Tops downdraft system is a patented, 12-volt fan that can be mounted to Toro® Z Master® riding mowers equipped with a roll-over protection system (ROPS) - whether old or new. It's designed to promote comfort and productivity by keeping motor heat, insects, and debris off equipment operators. The Cool Tops heavy-duty, S Blade Trimline fan utilizes the power system of a mower's traction unit to deliver an output of 1800 cubic feet per minute (cfm) air flow. The fan's sturdy construction measures 25 inches long by 20.5 inches wide and includes a steel frame, plus a waterproof motor and switch.

Deluxe Rider Cover

Toro's zero-turn rider cover helps operators protect their mower - and their investment in it - by shielding the machine from the elements. The all-black cover is made from a 600 Denier polyester fabric that's waterproof as well as abrasion- and tear-resistant. 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.

Recycler® Mulching Kits

Recycler mulching kits deliver the industry's finest mulching performance and reduce mowing time up to 38% vs. bagging.

Deluxe Suspension Seat
