- Mike P - Petillo Lanscaping, Deal, NJOverview
The FastCat™ RZ is the zero-turn mower that combines traditional BOB-CAT® reliability with the comfort and performance you want for your own property. From Kawasaki® and Briggs & Stratton® engines to an all-new optional collection system, this is the machine that makes quick work of lawn work. Welcome home.
Comfort & Control
Designed with your comfort in mind, the FastCat™ RZ features an adjustable high-back seat with spring supported adjustable armrests for improved comfort as you ride. Adjustable drive levers ensure a comfortable fit for all family members and ergonomically designed controls provide maximum comfort while you mow. Cutting height is easily controlled with a lever allowing for cutting ranges from 1.5 to 4.875 inches in quarter-inch increments.
Extreme Discharge System with DuraDeck™
The rugged fabricated design of the DuraDeck™ has the same construction and commercial durability found in all BOB-CAT® commercial mowers. The Extreme Discharge System ensures superior clipping dispersal. The molded rubber discharge chute bounces back from hard knocks.
Reduced Maintenance
Ingenious simplicity makes maintenance easy with quick, convenient access to the belts, filter, battery and fluid reservoirs. We're making your job easier. Never miss important service milestones with the convenient control panel now equipped with an hour meter for maintenance service reminders for the engine oil and filter, engine air filters, and hydraulic oil and filter.
Peak Productivity
Powerful Kawasaki® and Briggs & Stratton® engines deliver a powerful purr from every FastCat™ RZ zero-turn mower. 20-inch drive tires allow you to achieve ground speeds up to 8 mph. Your choice of 42-, 52-, or 61-inch decks and the optional
Boss-Vac collection system make quick work of your lawn care.
