The NEW! Altoz zeroturn mower...

[djdicetn]

Ric,

After watching that video.......I'll bet you're ready to trade in that Cub and Toro, get you a fleet of 5 or 6 of these Altoz ZTR's, then hire a bunch of riders and dress them in space suits and Darth Vader helmets. Your company would be the hit of Florida and probably make the national news if not just the locals:0)

Ya never know could make you a millionaire in the first year if it catches on!!!

P.S.
You might have to change the name of your company to something like 30th Century Lawn Care...that would be catchy now wouldn't it??

Ehh I'm not to impressed except the hydro deck lowering thing

Looks expensive. Operator not wearing hearing protection.

but he looks cool
For anyone who doesn't know it... those are all artists renderings. I wonder how far along the prototype is. Looks really cool... and very expensive. Digital fuel injection I've never heard that term. Not sure what it means anyway... all fuel maps are digital as far as I know. Everything computerized is digital
The most interesting part to me is the target market lol

... I see now that somebody revived a year old thread lol. Did the mower tank?

I don't thinks so :smile: AS far as I'm concerned about the mower it's nothing more than a gimmick. It's not going to cut grass any better than my Toro or CC. It may run faster at it's claim of 19mph but unless it has a BTS of 40,000 that's about worthless :biggrin: Now I agree the mower looks pretty cool but it will also come with a pretty cool price tag.

Yeah I watched that vid... it was a suggested vid from the youtube site of the other vid posted. I saw the 2013 copyright and realized I was responding to an old thread. There should be some real world experience with the mower by now. I've been reading mower and lawn work forums and watching youtube mower vids for 2 years and this is the first time I've heard about this machine. So where's this mower now... anybody using one or know somebody using one?

I've been in contact with a rep off and on since the GIE. Its slow to take hold and get independent deals take them on. I was impressed with what I could of the actual construction at the GIE. Of course it had silly little cosmetic enhancements with no functional purpose. I inquired about a demo week with one and was told the closest dealer was about 3 hours from me. For now I'll just wait and see.

Nice looking machine and finally someone else that is not requiring a foot lever to left your deck up and down.

Pros
6-Point Vibration Isolation System
Electric deck lift
Foot rests are nice for the driver
Instrument panel looks very nice as well "need more companies like this one and JD using the instrument panels correctly".

Big Cons
Levers and pins to adjust deck height, needs simpler adjustment on the IP area XC-Z model has.
high and low range on transmissions no need and a waste in my opinion, hope it is an option to order with or without.
Those dual blades I think will be a major pain in the butt and cause more problems than good.
