The 72-Inch Difference

When you’re maintaining larger acreage, those extra 12 inches over the 960S add up fast. You’re covering 20% more ground per pass, which means fewer passes and less time on the machine. On our 23 acres, that difference matters – and it’ll matter on yours too.

Engineered for Slopes Up to 20 Degrees

The Pro Z 972S uses Synchro-Steer™ 4-wheel steering technology – all four wheels turn, not just the front. On slopes, this isn’t a luxury feature, it’s essential. You get improved traction, better weight distribution, and precise control when terrain gets challenging. This is why commercial operators choose these machines for hilly properties.

Kawasaki FX1000V Power

999cc V-twin commercial engine:

• 35 HP at working speed
• 56 ft-lbs of torque for thick grass and slopes
• Twin-barrel carburetor (simple, proven, serviceable)
• Multi-stage filtration for engine longevity
• 2-quart oil capacity

Built Heavier Than It Needs to Be

72-inch triple-blade deck:

• 7-gauge fabricated steel construction
• Reinforced top, bottom, and sides
• 1/4-inch rolled leading edge resists impact damage
• Adjustable 1-5 inch cutting height (1/4-inch increments)

Frame construction:

• Fully welded 3/8 x 5-inch laser-cut steel
• Full-length frame (not bolted sections)
• This is the foundation that lets you run commercial hours

All-Day Comfort for Multi-Hour Jobs

Air-Ride suspension seat with EVC cushion:

• High-back design with padded armrests
• ISO-mounted base provides lateral suspension
• When you’re running 3-4 hours at a time, this isn’t about luxury – it’s about finishing the job without being beaten up

Commercial-Grade Hydrostatics

Parker HTG 16cc pumps with 310cc wheel motors – this is the transmission system found on commercial mowers running 500+ hours per season. Not scaled-up residential components.

Performance:

• 14 mph forward speed
• 7 mph reverse
• Power and control for hills and heavy grass

Fuel Capacity That Matches the Deck Size

Twin 7.45-gallon tanks (14.9 gallons total) – fill up once and mow for hours. With a 72-inch deck, you’re covering serious ground before needing fuel.

Why Factory Closeout?

Manufacturers discontinue specific configurations when updating model years. This unit was sitting in a warehouse in Colorado, and Cub Cadet decided it was time to move it. You get new machine reliability at a significant discount.
