“Florida is an important market for Altoz and we’re excited to work with some of our key dealers to kick off the season.  We’re looking forward to people testing our new zero-turn mowers and experiencing the quality we’re known for,” commented Karl Bjorkman, Altoz Sales and Marketing Director. 

"It has been a very mild winter here in Florida, the grass is still growing and landscapers are looking for new equipment before the busy summer months.  The Open House events are going to be a lot of fun for everyone — we’ll be introducing new models and new engine choices plus some great deals," commented Altoz District Sales Manager, Steve Goodman.

The XC Series, Altoz’s biggest, fastest and most powerful mower built for demanding jobs, will be one of several models available to demo. The XC is capable of mowing at speeds up to 19 mph with EFI engine options from both Briggs & Stratton and Kohler. Altoz’s new XR series will cater to multi-acre homeowners and round out the Altoz line, which now includes 33 models.
