Yanmar 400 Series 60″ Kawasaki Zero Turn Mower

Description

Yanmar YZ460 400 Series Zero-Turn Mower, 60-Inch Deck with 35 HP Kawasaki FX1000V

The YZ460 puts Yanmar’s biggest mower engine on its most manageable deck. The 35 HP Kawasaki FX1000V and a 15 mph top speed make it the quickest 60-inch mower in the range, aimed at owners who have more lawn than time and want to cut it at a pace that used to require a commercial machine. Yanmar markets the 400 Series as the premium, need-for-speed option in its line.

Speed With Control

Parker HTG transaxles handle the extra power, the deck is 7-gauge fabricated steel, and fuel capacity is 12.5 gallons. The 15 mph ceiling is for transit and open runs; most owners mow at a lower speed and use the reserve to keep blade tip speed steady when the grass is heavy. Larger rear tires than the 300 Series help traction on slopes and soft spots. Because this is a fast machine on a 60-inch deck, it is also a good choice for properties split into several separate mowing areas with driving in between.

• Engine: Kawasaki FX1000V
• Gross engine power: 35 HP
• Deck Size: 60″
• Deck Type: 7ga fabricated steel
• Transmission: Parker HTG
• Top Speed: 15 mph
• Fuel Capacity: 12.5 gal

Deciding on the YZ460

Choose the YZ460 when the ground is big but broken up by trees, buildings and fence lines that make a 72-inch deck awkward. The YZ472 carries the same engine and transaxles on a 72-inch deck for open acreage, and the YZ360 offers the same width at 27 HP and 11 mph for a lower price. Mulching uses the YZMK360-460 kit, bagging the YZB360-400 bagger with the YZBK360-460 kit, and the YZDL300-400 kit adds electric deck lift. Owners moving between separate mowing areas will appreciate that the transaxles carry the extra road speed without strain, which shortens the unproductive time between fields.
