360-Degree Turning Radius for Exceptional Maneuverability
Built with a true 360-degree turning radius, the ZT2660B is incredibly easy to control. In fact, its low center of gravity and low profile ensure excellent maneuverability and stability, even on bumpy, uneven terrain, or around trees and shrubs.
Powerful 26 HP Engine and Hydrostatic Transmission for Robust Performance
Equipped with a powerful 26 HP Briggs and Stratton ELS engine and dual Eaton commercial-grade hydrostatic transmission for robust performance, the ZT2660B finely clips grass with speed and precision. A full pressure lubrication system with spin-on oil filter ensures smooth, continuous operation, while all parts are easily accessible for maintenance.
60-Inch Cutting Deck and Gator Brand Blades for Quick Cutting
Boasting an adjustable cutting deck that is 60 inches wide, the ZT2660B makes quick work of larger lawns, getting the job done in one pass, saving you both time and effort. Three extra-sharp, ultra-efficient Gator brand mulching/discharge blades give your yard a clean look, with no grass clumps. For added convenience, a spring-assisted level deck-lift lets you choose eight precision cutting heights from 1.5 to five inches.
Large Wheels and Pivoting Front Axle for Better Traction and Control
Operating up to six MPH in both forward and reverse, the ZT2660B has large 20.0 x 10.0 x 8.0-inch rear tires and 10.5 x 3.5 x 5.0-inch swiveling front tires for greater traction and optimum stability without excessive wear and tear on your lawn. As you mow, adjustable side deck wheels help to prevent scalping. For added peace of mind, a fabricated pivoting front axle ensures a smooth ride while guaranteeing a professional cut, and bumper rollers on both the front and the rear of the deck protect trees and shrubs.
Heavy-Duty Construction for Superior Strength and Durability
Built to last, the ZT2660B features heavy-duty, high-quality construction from top to bottom. Made of 11-gauge fabricated and welded steel, the deck offers superior strength and durability, even after long-term use, while low-maintenance, long-life machined steel blade spindles and high-speed precision bearings stand up to wear and tear without compromising their ultra-efficient performance.
Ergonomic, Supportive Design for Optimum Comfort
Comfortable to ride and extremely user-friendly to operate, the ZT2660B helps to transform a weekend chore into a fun, relaxing experience. First, the deluxe 16-inch back seat with foldable armrests and six-inch slide adjustment range for plenty of leg room provides a sturdy, supportive place to sit, while a push-pull button for electric PTO engagement, electric turn-key start, and automatic parking brake keep things simple and straightforward.
Convenient, Time-Saving Features
The ZT2660B also includes a convenient storage compartment, ergonomic steering handles, a beverage holder, and an hour meter. Finally, dual two-gallon fuel tanks provide a longer time span between fill ups so you won't have to waste time continually refueling; just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Good Value, Good Performance
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I am on my 2nd summer with my Swisher Z-Max and it has been a pretty decent machine. If it was powered by a Honda, in my opinion it would be the best value going. Don’t get me wrong, the briggs has worked well, but I have another 60″ mower powered by a Honda that handles taller grass much better and gets better fuel economy.
Mine has had some minor issues:
One steering arm pivot point came loose (inside the chassis)
Front frame member to front pivot axle member bolt came loose and fell out
When mowing, driver tends to get a fair amount of grass in their lap that blows up from the front of the deck
Gator blades are junk
I have 50 hours on mine and have replaced both deck belts. (seems a bit excessive)
Yes, it does have a few issues, but when compared to what is available in the same price range it looks pretty good. Although I have had to do a bit of wrenching on it, I have to say that it is pretty easy to work on.

Solid , Fast and Dependable
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought my ZTM last year . I picked up mine at a Tractor supply store and it was assembled and ready to go . It’s differnt than driving a regular mower but easily mastered the first time you mow . It does a great job and is solidly built . I own a cub cadet ( 1045 ) that will be three years old this year and have had three issues with it and no help from the factory (if the cub is under warrenty why do I get to pay ) . So I needed somthing to mow the lawn and went with this machine . I called swisher first and asked about the spec’s and they were very helpful . I mow three acres with it and it’s fast .
The only problem I have is two of my neighbors tried it and one keeps calling to voluneer to mow my lawn , and yes it is fun to ride .
Check it out you won’t be disappointed , TSC has days where they let you try the machine at there place , well worth looking into .

Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased my mower from sears 1 1/2 years ago. I have 105 hrs. Changing the oil is a pita. I had to adjust drives a couple of times to get them to pull correctly. You must check and tighten all bolts every oil change. They say every 100 hrs but I do it at 50. The bearings on the blade hubs are cheap as all mowers. When replacing the bearings use american made. Theirs are from china. If you mow in sand no blades work well. I have bahia & sand so gators are needed. I also needed belts at 75 hrs. I kept them adjusted. The rollers fell off due to the grade two carraige bolts used on the front side rollers. Before you loose the rollers change the 4 carraige bolts to grade 5 or 8 bolts. Other than that it has been a good mower especially for the cost. Parts are hard to get here though. I can only buy blades from one dealer 35 miles away as the belts. Rollers were purchased from swisher. They have been very professional when I have talked to them and asked questions.

Best buy for the money
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve put 30 hours on mine so far and wow! I bought mine from Sears last year but only after trying a Craftman 50″ zero turn. The craftsman was not what I thought it would be and returned it… but the Swisher has lots more quality and thought put into it.. The exta money spent is well worth it.

A great value buy for the homeowner with some acreage
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I usually pay more for quality, but as a homeowner, riding 2-3 hours a week, mowing 3-4 acres per week, this mower just made good sense vs. paying twice as much to do the same job. I think it was a smart choice. If you are going to ride a mower all day long, cut more than 5 or 6 acres once a week, or tire out easily, get a commercial grade mower, they run better longer, and don’t wear out the driver as quickly, due to better hydraulics and better responsiveness overall. I’ve used both, there is a clear difference.
Two minor annoyances, one, the throttle tends to vibrate lower as you mow, causing you to have to throttle up occasionally, or wedge something in there. Two, nowhere to put anything. No trays or holders of any kind whatsoever. Minor issue, but annoying no less. However, still the best value in a residential, light to medium use, ZTR mower, but definitely NOT a mower for very heavy or commercial use.
