Introduction
Cub Cadet Tank M60 Zero-Turn Mower
The Cub Cadet Tank M60 is a zero-turn mower manufactured by Cub Cadet, a division of MTD, produced between 2002 and 2011. Designed for large-scale turf maintenance, this machine is engineered for high maneuverability and efficient cutting performance.
Engine and Powertrain
The mower is powered by a Kohler CV740 gasoline engine. This air-cooled, V-twin 2-cylinder unit features a displacement of 724 cc (44.2 ci) and produces a gross power output of 27 hp (20.1 kW). The engine utilizes an electric starter system powered by a 12-volt battery. Power is transferred through a Hydro-Gear BDP-12 hydrostatic transmission, which allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control without the need for traditional gear shifting.
Mowing and Hydraulic Systems
The Tank M60 is equipped with a 60-inch mower deck intended for wide-area coverage. The implement engagement is managed by an independent mid-mounted PTO (Power Take-Off) system, which uses an electric clutch for engagement, allowing the operator to activate the blades precisely as needed.
Chassis and Operator Environment
The machine features differential power steering to facilitate the zero-turn capability. It is built with an open operator station design. For safety, a two-post foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) was available as an option. The unit has a wheelbase of 50.5 inches (128 cm) and an overall length of 78 inches (198 cm), with a total operating weight of 1,150 lbs (521 kg).
Tires and Traction
To ensure stability and traction on turf surfaces, the mower is fitted with 13x6.50x6 front tires and 24x12-12 rear tires. The front tread width is 45.5 inches (115 cm), while the rear tread width measures 58 inches (147 cm).
Conclusion
With its robust Kohler engine and hydrostatic drive system, the Cub Cadet Tank M60 is suited for commercial landscaping professionals and owners of large properties requiring a durable, agile mowing solution. Its design prioritizes operational efficiency and ease of control.
