Features

Features

  • 7-GAUGE STEEL DECKS: Defender models and up feature heavy-duty decks fabricated from 7-gauge steel. Check out the competition and see the difference for yourself.
  • ENHANCED XTF DECK SYSTEM: Our Xtreme Turf Flow (XTF) decks have been redesigned and enhanced to meet the spring, summer, and fall mowing conditions everywhere. This enhanced deck system is available on all models from the Defender up.
  • ANTI-SLIP MAT: All models are equipped with a rubber anti-slip foot mat that helps reduce vibration from the transmission to the operator’s foot.
  • RESILIENT BUSHINGS: Special resilient bushings on the mower stabilizing arms reduce the shock and damage to the mower if it hits curbs, stumps, or other debris.
  • DESIGN & STYLE: Our passion for muscle cars from the late '60s has fueled the design of Spartan Mowers. Mow in style and turn heads with the stealthy profile of a Spartan.
  • EZ DEBRIS REMOVAL: To help keep your machine cleaner after each use, our belt covers are open in all directions for easy removal of accumulated debris.
