Q: Just realizing assembly is required. Do I need experience or is it easy enough for us non-mechanical types? by Paul | Apr 14=Dismantling the large S & H Crate at the Street Curb and removing ~ 700# Mower bolted to the bottom WILL BE most-daunting!
It's basic assembly, you got this.
What is maximum load Ultima ZT1 zero turn mower can haul in trailer connected to rear hitch?
Hello donj. Using a single-axle trailer and a properly maintained and adjusted tractor, you should be able to pull about ½ the tractor weight + ½ the operator weight fairly safely and with control over level ground and over slopes less than 5 degrees. The ZT1 54 zero turn mower weighs about 700 pounds. Thank you for your question.
