WEST FARGO, N.D. (April 12, 2024) – Bobcat Company won the Green Industry Pros’ (GIP) 2024 Mower Madness Competition with its newly introduced ZT5000 zero-turn mower.
GIP hosts the social media event modeled after the NCAA Basketball March Madness Tournament with a Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four and Championship Game. The ZT5000 persevered through head-to-head competitions with competing mower brands, ultimately proving to be the fan favorite and claiming the title.

About the ZT5000
The ZT5000 features a durable, 23.5-hp Kawasaki® engine for reliable starts, smooth power output and ground speeds up to 11 mph. The Hydro-Gear® ZT-3800 hydrostatic transaxles deliver smooth and steady power for precise operator control and highly productive mowing performance.
The ZT5000 is equipped with an AirFX™ cutting system with a deep-deck design and air-gap baffles that increases vacuum, lifting grass to the blade for a superior cut and professional finish.
