I've been comparing ZTR power units, and thought I'd see if anyone knew of any higher horsepower units than what I've found.... new, or old.
So far...
Highest horsepower diesel:
Yazoo Kees - 38hp Kubota (turbo)
Highest horesepower diesel (non-turbo):
Multiple mfg - 35hp Caterpillar/Perkins
Both the above are pre-Tier 4 Final engines.
Current (Tier 4 Final):
John Deere 997 Diesel - 37+hp (Perkins or Yanmar?)
Noteworthy:
KutKwick Brushmaster and Mega SlopeMaster - 83hp Yanmar
KutKwick Super SlopeMaster - 38hp Yanmar
Gasoline engines:
Kohler and Kawasaki both have 37hp V-twins in several mfg models.
What have I missed?
It would be cool if we could keep this thread going with various other superlatives, such as deck width, most powerful with independent transaxle, etc.
Right now, the most powerful single axle model I've found, is Kubota's one ton monster 1500 series diesel, with 31+hp.
