Gravely has been designing serious mowing equipment since 1916, and the ZT X line distills 100-plus years of commercial-mower engineering into a residential platform priced for half-acre to two-acre yards. The X-Factor fabricated deck and welded tubular steel frame are direct ports from the brand's commercial line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower comes from a Kawasaki FR651V V-twin OHV engine displacing 603cc. The FR series is the residential-grade extension of Kawasaki's commercial FX engine line, sharing the same overhead valve architecture, full pressure lubrication, and dual-element premium air filtration. Owners running the ZT X 42 on a typical weekly residential schedule will see oil and filter changes once a season — essentially the entire engine maintenance routine. Electric key start, automatic choke, and a regulated charging system handle cold mornings without operator intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwin Hydro-Gear EZT serviceable transaxles power the rear wheels independently, allowing true zero-radius pivoting controlled through a pair of lap bars. Top forward speed is 7 mph and reverse runs at 3 mph. The serviceable EZT is a meaningful upgrade over the sealed EZT used by most competitors at this price point: when the transmission eventually needs service, it can be opened, inspected, and rebuilt at a Gravely dealer rather than replaced wholesale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 42-inch X-Factor fabricated steel deck cuts at 13 height settings between 1.5 and 4.5 inches via a foot-lift pedal and pin-locked indicator. Two cutting blades work in side-discharge configuration. The deck is engineered with airflow geometry borrowed from Gravely's commercial mowers — noticeably stronger discharge than the stamped decks common at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperator comfort centers on a high-back seat with armrests, soft-grip lap bars, and a vibration-dampening foot deck. The dashboard layout is honest and minimal: ignition, throttle, choke, PTO knob, hour meter. The frame is welded tubular steel with reinforcement plates at high-stress points — the same construction philosophy Gravely uses on its commercial Pro-Turn series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard rear hitch accepts most popular tow-behind attachments — dump carts, broadcast spreaders, plug aerators, dethatchers, and lawn rollers all mount without modification. Cup holder and hour meter are factory standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor half-acre to two-acre properties where the homeowner wants Kawasaki engine reliability and Gravely's heritage of build quality without paying for the commercial-tier ZT HD, the ZT X 42 is one of the most balanced residential zero-turns at its price point. The serviceable EZT and X-Factor deck are the value story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gravely","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44780196855894,"sku":null,"price":1504.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1866\/5621\/files\/918011_ZT-X_52_FR34-1200x900-33e90ef-e1667589159808.jpg?v=1779652922","url":"https:\/\/ri-medical.myshopify.com\/en-us\/products\/gravely-zt-x-42-zero-turn-mower-21-5-hp-kawasaki","provider":"RI MEDICAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
