Introduction
Simplicity Citation 25/52 Zero-Turn Mower
The Simplicity Citation 25/52 is a zero-turn mower manufactured between 2010 and 2011. Designed for residential and commercial turf maintenance, this model emphasizes maneuverability and cutting efficiency through a hydrostatic drive system and a wide cutting deck.
Engine and Powertrain
The machine is powered by a 2-cylinder Kawasaki engine generating 25 horsepower (18.6 kW). It utilizes an electric starter and a 12V electrical system with a 340 CCA battery. Power delivery to the mower deck is managed by an independent mid-PTO equipped with an electric clutch for precise engagement.
Transmission and Handling
Equipped with a Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transmission, the Citation 25/52 allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control. This transmission type is essential for zero-turn operation, enabling the operator to navigate around landscape obstacles with high precision.
Dimensions and Construction
The mower features a 52-inch cutting deck. With a wheelbase of 48 inches and a total weight of 1,063 lbs (482 kg), the unit provides a stable platform for operation. It is fitted with specialized lawn and turf tires, measuring 13x5 in the front and 22x11 in the rear, to minimize ground pressure. For operator safety, the machine includes a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), resulting in an overall height of 70 inches when deployed.
Conclusion
The Simplicity Citation 25/52 is a specialized mowing unit suitable for operators requiring high productivity on large turf areas. Its combination of a 25 hp Kawasaki engine, hydrostatic transmission, and zero-turn capability makes it a robust tool for professional-grade lawn maintenance.
