Q: Will this work on my badboy elite zero turn mower
14 days ago- A: Most likely yes, with one measurement to confirm. Why it should fit. The Z-Hitch bolts to existing holes on the flat rear frame plate of the mower. Per Good Vibrations, it works as long as those rear holes are 2.5 in. to 6.5 in. apart (the mounting openings are 2-1/2 in. slots, so there is adjustment room), the mounting surface is flat rather than round tube, and you use 3/8 in. bolts (9/16 in. wrench). Bad Boy's own bolt-on rear hitch (part 093-1000-00) is listed as fitting "2007-Present Bad Boy Mowers ZT Elite Models," which tells you the ZT Elite has a flat bolt-on hitch location at the rear rather than a round bumper tube. That is the key compatibility hurdle, and the ZT Elite clears it. What to check before buying. Measure center to center between the two existing bolt holes on the rear plate of your mower. If that number lands between 2.5 and 6.5 in., you are good. If they are closer or wider, you would be drilling, which is something the manufacturer acknowledges some installs need. The Z-Hitch plate is a light -duty plate. So match the cart or trailer to the hitch, not to what the mower could theoretically pull.14 days agoHelpful?
Q: Why do you say it fits deck sizes 30 in, 33 in, 34 in, 38 in, 42 in, 46 in, 48 in, 50 in, 54 in, 60 in _ but no mention of a 52 inch deck , e.g., Exmark. Are there any issues with this hitch being used with the ExMark zero-turn mowers?
a month ago- A: What actually determines fit is the spacing of the existing holes in your mower's rear frame. The Z-Hitch has two slotted openings that let it bolt up to holes roughly 2.5 in. to 6.5 in. apart, center to center. If your rear frame has two holes in that range on a flat surface, the plate will mount. Two things worth checking on your Exmark before you order: Measure center to center between the two rear frame holes and confirm it lands in that 2.5 in. to 6.5 in. window. Confirm the mounting surface is flat. Some Exmark models use a round tubular rear bumper, and a flat plate will not sit properly against a tube.a month agoHelpful?
Q: How to hook up to ball hitch
a month ago- AI-generated, Human-approvedA: To hook up to a ball hitch, you can mount a tow ball directly to the heavy-duty steel plate. Reviewers have successfully used 1 7/8" and 2" balls with this hitch to pull trailers, boats, and other equipment.a month agoHelpful?
Q: Where to get a replacement tire?
2 months ago- A: I am sorry, this item is a hitch plate, it does not have a tire. Perhaps you are referring to a different item?2 months agoHelpful?
Q: What's size is the holes
2 months ago- A: The two mounting openings are actually slots, each 2-½" in length, allowing plenty of room for a customizable fit. As long as the holes on the back of your mower are between 2.5" and 6.5" apart from each other, a Z-Hitch will work for you. Pin-hitch hole: The Z-Hitch's pin-hitch hole measures ¾" — the perfect size to accommodate a number of hitch pins. It works well with pins that have a ½" diameter. Ball hitch: While it's technically compatible with any tow ball size, it's best used with a light-duty 1-⅞" tow ball2 months agoHelpful?
Q: What is the bolt size
3 months ago- A: It is recommended to use a 9/16" wrench which corresponds to a 3/8" bolt. Also note this is a universal-fit plate, so it generally mounts using the existing nuts-and-bolts location on the back of your mower rather than shipping with a full bolt kit. If your zero-turn mower has a spot on the back to accommodate nuts and bolts, you can very likely install a Z-Hitch on it3 months agoHelpful?
Q: Will it fit a zero turn Toro time cutter max
3 months ago- A: The Z-Hitch is marketed as a universal plate — it's designed to fit all zero-turn mowers, working with any make and model, and that explicitly includes Toro. The Toro TimeCutter MAX line is a standard residential/light-commercial zero-turn, so it falls squarely within what this hitch is built for. The one thing to verify is the mounting. The plate doesn't bolt to a Toro-specific bracket — it attaches to existing holes on the rear of the mower frame. As the manufacturer puts it, if your zero-turn has a spot on the back to accommodate nuts and bolts, you can very likely install a Z-Hitch on it. Most TimeCutter MAX models have a rear frame cross-member or bumper area you can drill/bolt to, so this is rarely a problem, but it's worth eyeballing the back of your specific machine before buying. You may need to drill a hole or two to line things up.3 months agoHelpful?
Q: Will this fit Warhawk commander pro Mower
3 months ago- A: It's designed to fit all zero-turn mowers and intended to work in conjunction with any make and model of zero-turn mower. The Warhawk Commander Pro is a commercial-grade zero-turn (the 60" runs a 38.5 HP engine, with a 72" version also offered), so it falls squarely within the category the Z-Hitch is built for. The Z-Hitch is rated for off-road use only, and it's a relatively light-duty hitch (best with a smaller tow ball). On a powerful commercial mower it's easy to out-tow the hitch's intended load, so match the trailer/cart weight to the hitch, not to the mower's pulling power.3 months agoHelpful?
Q: Does this fit a Grasshopper 721-D with dual rear wheels?
10 months ago- A: It does seem this will fit the model in question. We recommend that you measure the rear of the mower and make sure it fits within the parameters of the diagram on the TSC website or the back of the package.10 months agoHelpful?
Q: Does this come with the backing plate?
11 months ago- A: No, the Good Vibrations Z-Hitch 3-Way Zero-Turn Mower Hitch Plate does not come with a backing plate. The product includes only the single, heavy-duty steel hitch plate and relies on the mower's existing rear plate for mounting.11 months agoHelpful?
