Introduction
Simplicity Citation XT 28/61 Zero-Turn Mower
The Simplicity Citation XT 28/61 is a zero-turn mower model manufactured in 2013. Designed for residential and professional turf maintenance, this machine focuses on maneuverability and cutting efficiency for large-scale mowing operations.
Engine and Starting System
The tractor is powered by a 2-cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine producing 28 horsepower (20.9 kW). It utilizes a 12-volt electric starting system supported by a battery with 340 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), ensuring reliable ignition in various conditions.
Transmission and Drive
The propulsion system features a Hydro-Gear ZT-3400 hydrostatic transmission. This configuration allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control, which is essential for the precise navigation required by a zero-turn mowing platform.
Cutting Deck and PTO
This model is equipped with a 61-inch wide mower deck, designed to maximize productivity by covering large areas in fewer passes. The deck is operated via an independent mid-PTO system, engaged through an electric clutch for precise control of the cutting blades.
Safety and Dimensions
The machine measures 79 inches in length and stands 70 inches high when the two-post folding ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is deployed. The folding nature of the ROPS allows for vertical clearance adjustments when storing or operating under low-hanging obstacles. The unit rolls on specialized lawn and turf tires, with 13x5 dimensions at the front and 22x11 at the rear, optimized to minimize ground pressure and prevent surface damage.
Conclusion
The Simplicity Citation XT 28/61 is a robust zero-turn mower suited for users requiring significant cutting width and high maneuverability. Its combination of a powerful 28 hp engine and hydrostatic transmission makes it a durable tool for intensive grass maintenance tasks.
