Introduction
Simplicity Cobalt 28/61 Zero-Turn Mower
The Simplicity Cobalt 28/61 is a zero-turn mower introduced in 2016, designed for professional-grade turf maintenance and large-scale lawn care operations.
Engine and Power
The machine is powered by a vertical-shaft Briggs & Stratton 49E877 V-Twin engine. With a displacement of 809 cc (49.42 ci) and a power output of 28 hp (20.9 kW), this engine provides the necessary torque for demanding mowing conditions. It features a 12-volt electric starter system.
Transmission and Mowing Capability
The Cobalt 28/61 utilizes a Hydro-Gear ZT-4400 hydrostatic transmission, allowing for infinite forward and reverse speed control. The mower is equipped with a 61-inch deck and an independent mid-PTO system, which is engaged via an electric clutch for precise control over cutting attachments.

The tractor features a wheelbase of 55 inches (139 cm) and a total length of 82.5 inches (209 cm). It is equipped with a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) for operator safety, bringing the total height to 72 inches (182 cm). The unit weighs 1,295 lbs (587 kg) and utilizes 13x6.5-6 front tires and 24x12-12 rear lawn/turf tires to minimize ground pressure.
Electrical System
The electrical infrastructure consists of a 12-volt battery system with a 350 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating. The charging system provides 20 amps to support the electric clutch and standard electrical components.
