COFFEYVILLE, Kan. - This
year’s lineup of Dixon® ZTR®
riding lawn mowers includes two
42-inch and two 30-inch cut models,
all featuring engineering im
provements that increase per
formance while making little
change in the appearance of the
blue mowers.
Leader of the 1985 blue Dixon
line is ZTR 424, with deluxe
operating and performance
features. Powered by an 11 hp
Briggs and Stratton I/H engine, 424
also has headlights and an ad
justable seat that has been
restyled for greater comfort.
Standard 11 hp model ZTR 426
features the same 2-gallon gas
tank, seven cutting height ad
justments (IV to 4”), and triple
blades beneath a wind-channeled
deck with significant engineering
changes to produce a smooth, even
cut and dishcharge clippings
without windrowing. A new grass
collection system - lightweight
and impeller driven - has dual
bags for easier emptying.
The 30-inch cut models are
specifically designed to mow
where there are limited areas. A
major improvement is a new
