Exmark is gearing up to celebrate three decades of unmatched innovation and excellence with the Lazer Z commercial zero-turn mower. Since its groundbreaking debut in 1995, the Lazer Z revolutionized the landscape industry, quickly rising to become the gold standard for professional-grade mowing.
As part of this milestone, Exmark is releasing a powerful new video that dives deep into the incredible legacy of the Lazer Z. The video captures the spirit of a machine that defined an era and continues to shape the future of lawn care.
As Exmark’s first mid-mount zero-turn mower, the Lazer Z redefined the productivity, cut quality, durability, maneuverability, and ease of transport for commercial users. The state-of-the-art design helped landscape professionals do more work, more quickly and with less physical labor. This enabled them to earn more money, more sustainably throughout the season.
Exmark Vice President, Daryn Walters, said the mid-mount design of the Lazer Z, which places the cutting deck between the front caster wheels and rear drive wheels, was a game-changer.
“Our customers told us what they needed. Increased cut quality and maneuverability, faster mowing and maximum long-term durability, with less maintenance, were at the top of their list,” Walters said. “Armed with this knowledge, we had the roadmap, so we started testing, refining, retesting and finally, once the Lazer Z was ready, we released it to the world.
When launched in 1995, the Lazer Z was available in one configuration with a 60-inch cutting deck. As the needs of its customers have evolved, Exmark has grown the Lazer Z line to include five series and a wide range of power and size options, from 48- to 144-inches in cut width. Each offers the Exmark signature cut quality, legendary durability and unmatched long-term value.
While it's rewarding to look back on the legacy the Lazer Z has created, Walters said he’s more excited about the innovations coming in the 2025 Lazer Z line.
“Exmark is a company built on innovation, and we’re always taking the feedback of our customers to drive our future innovations,” Walters said. “Each model in the 2025 Lazer Z line reflects the needs of its users, with the features they want and the value proposition they seek.”
Exmark will unveil its 2025 Lazer Z line, which includes not one, but three new redesigned series at the Equip Expo show in Louisville, KY, October 15-18. To celebrate this exciting launch, Exmark is hosting a special giveaway! 100 lucky winners will receive exclusive Lazer Z Legacy T-shirts, and one grand prize winner will take home the all-new Lazer Z X-Series Mower. Join us for a press conference at the Exmark booth (#7080) on Wednesday, October 16, at 10:30 AM EDT.
