The Toro ZX5420 is a zero-turn mower produced between 2011 and 2013, designed for residential and light-commercial landscape maintenance. It belongs to the ZX series and is engineered for precision maneuvering and efficient grass cutting.

Transmission and Drive
The ZX5420 utilizes a hydrostatic transmission, specifically the Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 model, which provides infinite forward and reverse speeds without the need for traditional gear shifting. Power is delivered through a two-wheel drive system, complemented by power steering to enhance operational responsiveness.
Mowing and Dimensions
The tractor is equipped with a 54-inch mower deck. It features an independent mid-mounted PTO with an electric clutch for engagement. The machine rides on 11x4 front tires and 20x10 rear tires, both optimized for turf applications. The total length of the unit is 78.6 inches (199 cm), with an overall height of 73 inches (185 cm) when the two-post foldable ROPS is upright.
