{"product_id":"gravely-zt-x-42-zero-turn-mower-21-5-hp-kawasaki","title":"Gravely ZT X 42 42\" Zero-Turn Mower – 21.5 HP Kawasaki","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ZT X 42 is Gravely's residential 42-inch zero-turn for owners who want the brand's reputation for build quality scaled down to a suburban property.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gravely has been designing serious mowing equipment since 1916, and the ZT X line distills its commercial-mower engineering into a residential platform priced for half-acre to two-acre yards. The X-Factor fabricated deck and welded tubular steel frame are direct ports from the brand's commercial line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower comes from a 21.5-horsepower Kawasaki FR651V V-twin OHV engine displacing 726cc.\u003c\/strong\u003e The FR series is the residential-grade extension of Kawasaki's commercial FX engine line, sharing the same overhead-valve architecture, full pressure lubrication, and dual-element premium air filtration. Owners running the ZT X 42 on a typical weekly residential schedule will see oil and filter changes once a season — essentially the entire engine maintenance routine. Electric key start, automatic choke, and a regulated charging system handle cold mornings without operator intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwin Hydro-Gear Serviceable EZT transaxles power the rear wheels independently,\u003c\/strong\u003e allowing true zero-radius pivoting controlled through a pair of lap bars. Top forward speed is 7 mph and reverse runs at 3 mph. The serviceable EZT is a meaningful upgrade over the sealed EZT used by most competitors at this price point: when the transmission eventually needs service, it can be opened, inspected, and rebuilt at a Gravely dealer rather than replaced wholesale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 42-inch X-Factor fabricated steel deck is built from 11-gauge steel, runs 4.5 inches deep, \u003c\/strong\u003eand adjusts cutting height between 1.5 and 4.5 inches via a foot-lift pedal with a cutting-height dial. Three cutting blades work in side-discharge configuration, with caged anti-scalp wheels protecting the turf. The deck is engineered with airflow geometry borrowed from Gravely's commercial mowers — noticeably stronger discharge than the stamped decks common at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperator comfort centers on a high-back seat with springs and adjustable armrests, soft-grip lap bars,\u003c\/strong\u003e and a vibration-dampening floor mat. The dashboard layout is honest and minimal: ignition, throttle, choke, PTO knob, hour meter. The frame is a fully welded tubular steel structure with reinforcement at high-stress points — the same construction philosophy Gravely uses on its commercial Pro-Turn series — and the fuel tank holds 3.5 gallons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe standard rear hitch accepts most popular tow-behind attachments \u003c\/strong\u003e— dump carts, broadcast spreaders, plug aerators, dethatchers, and lawn rollers all mount without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor half-acre to two-acre properties where the homeowner \u003c\/strong\u003ewants Kawasaki engine reliability and Gravely's heritage of build quality without paying for the commercial-tier ZT HD, the ZT X 42 is one of the most balanced residential zero-turns at its price point. The X-Factor deck and Kawasaki engine are the value story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gravely","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42771591692382,"sku":null,"price":1979.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1159\/9138\/files\/918008_ZT-X_42_FL34.jpg?v=1780476582","url":"https:\/\/sparroo.shop\/products\/gravely-zt-x-42-zero-turn-mower-21-5-hp-kawasaki","provider":"Sparroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
