The drivetrain consists of a Hydro-Gear EZT-2200 hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite variable speed control in both forward and reverse directions. Steering is managed via a power-assisted system coupled with differential power, allowing the operator to execute precise zero-radius turns with minimal physical effort.
Mowing Deck and PTO
The RZT L46 is equipped with a 46-inch mower deck. Power transfer to the cutting deck is managed through an independent mid-mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) system, which is engaged via an electric clutch for smooth activation.
