The durability features of the frame are as follows:
Heavy-duty, thick-gauge, steel channel mainframe for strength and durability
Cast I-beam caster arms to handle the beating and pounding professional mowers receive
Wide-open access for maintenance and cleaning
A steel rear bumper provides protection for the machine. The bumper is made of two pieces, making it easy to remove and install when using a material collection system (MCS).
A rear hitch can be added to the steel bumper for towing purposes. ZTrak E, M, and R Series Mowers can tow up to 400 lb (181.4 kg).

Michelin® X® Tweel® Turf airless radial tire technology for ZTrak™ Mowers eliminates downtime and reduces cost of operation
Mowing performance is improved.
Rutting is reduced because the Michelin X Tweel Turf has more support across the surface for improved flotation and better ground contact.
Unique energy transfer within the poly-resin spokes reduces the bounce associated with pneumatic tires.
Excellent curb climbing is possible due to the Michelin X Tweel Turf construction and flexibility.
More consistent cut quality is achieved because inconsistent tire pressure is eliminated.
Uptime is improved.
The exclusive technology eliminates downtime and associated cost due to flat or damaged tires.
Punctures and sidewall damage no longer result in downtime.
Cost of operation is reduced.
Cost of repairs and maintenance is reduced. One single unit replaces the current tire, wheel, and valve assembly. There is no need for complex tire-mounting equipment.
No need to spend time checking and optimizing tire pressure.
The need to purchase and stock plug kits and spare tires is eliminated, particularly for professional landscape contractors and government agencies who normally stock them.
