Engine and Performance
The Z122E is powered by a Briggs & Stratton Professional air-cooled, vertical-shaft V-Twin gasoline engine.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a two-wheel-drive system, managed by differential power steering to ensure precise navigation around obstacles.
Mowing Deck and PTO
The mower is equipped with a 48-inch cutting deck. The mid-mounted power take-off (PTO) is independent and engaged through an electric dry disc clutch, allowing for efficient engagement and disengagement of the mower blades during operation.
