The Dixon ZTR424 represents Dixon's entry into the residential zero-turn market, offering maneuverability and speed compared to traditional lawn tractors. Introduced to cater to homeowners with medium-sized yards, the ZTR424 was designed for easy operation and maintenance. Engine options often included a Briggs & Stratton Intek or Kohler Courage engine, typically ranging from 22 to 24 horsepower. These engines are single-cylinder, air-cooled designs. The transmission is a hydrostatic type, providing smooth and variable speed control. A key feature of the ZTR424 is its 42-inch cutting deck, optimized for efficiently mowing lawns with obstacles. It stands out from larger, commercial-grade zero-turn mowers due to its smaller footprint and lighter weight, making it ideal for residential use and storage. Common uses include mowing lawns up to an acre, navigating around trees and garden beds, and providing a quick and clean cut.

Maintenance Tips

Replace the deck belt every 100-200 hours of operation, or sooner if you notice cracking or fraying. A worn belt can cause reduced cutting performance.
Sharpen your mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to a brown, uneven cut.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, or annually, to maintain engine performance and longevity. Refer to your engine manufacturer's manual for specific oil type recommendations.
