The 2014 Altoz XC S line of zero-turn mowers was engineered for the needs of the residential and commercial consumer. With high-end performance and precise construction, the XC S line meets and exceeds the demands of lawn care professionals. With three deck sizes and three engine sizes available, the XC S line comes with multiple options.
The premium cut of the XC S line comes from the Aero Deck High Output System, a hallmark of all Altoz precision mowers. Thanks to a deep deck design with an unrestrictive interior surface, the XC S line was engineered to produce maximum airflow, resulting in a superior cut with little clumping and efficient grass processing. A trio of premium mulching blades gets the job done thanks to the unique design that provides superior lift, cut, mulching and discharge.
The XC S line is as tough as they come thanks to a heavy gauge steel C-channel frame rails that provide maximum strength and rigidity. The power of the XC S line stems from a powerful deck drive system and clutch that produces 200 ft.-lbs. of torque. Additionally, heavy-duty deck and deck spindles, belt idlers, rugged front forks, sealed fork castors, and watertight electrical connections ensure that the XC S can endure tough conditions with unmatched longevity.
What highlights this American-made line of premium mowers is the emphasis on operator comfort. The seat features high-quality padding intended to withstand extended use while providing proper support, while the exclusive front-frame viewport provides improved visibility and unobstructed sightlines.
With performance, comfort, and durability that exceed expectations, the XC S line offers professionals and homeowners an unmatched dependable and high-quality option for lawn care.
The 2014 Altoz XC S line is available in three sizes (XC 540 S, XC 610 S, XC 720 S) and is manufactured in Greenbush, MN, alongside the XC Z, XP Z, and XP S lines. All will be available in select U.S. markets beginning in fall 2013.
