Exmark adds to stand-on mower lineup

Exmark has bolstered its stand-on mower lineup with the introduction of larger Vertex X-Series and compact Vertex E-Series machines to the line. The new models join Exmark’s existing Vertex S-Series and electric Vertex V-Series models for 2024.

Exmark Director of Marketing, Jamie Briggs, says the new machines expand the Vertex line with a complete range of models in cut widths from 32- to 72-inches. This gives landscape contractors a Vertex model that’s ideal for their needs, no matter how big, or how small the properties they maintain are.

“Our customers were very happy with the Vertex models we launched last year,” Briggs says. “Our most common customer feedback was that they wished there was a wider range of Vertex models, so that’s what we focused on delivering in 2024.”

The new Vertex X-Series has an available 72-inch UltraCut Series 6 cutting deck. It enables contractors to mow more than 7 acres per hour and do it all day thanks to the 14 gallons of fuel capacity. The Vertex X-Series models have the same formed and welded tubular steel frame and heavy-duty 15-inch caster wheels and tires as Exmark’s Lazer Z zero-turn riding mowers.

The mowers are powered by Kawasaki FX1000 engines. Exmark also offers Vertex X-Series with 52- or 60-inch cutting decks.

The Vertex X-Series features large 24-inch drive tires for increased traction, reduced turf compaction and increased ride quality. The operator-focused control center optimizes operator control and comfort, with a bolstered operator pad and suspended operator platform that’s located low and centered between the rear wheels.

Meanwhile, Exmark’s new Vertex E-Series compact stand-on mower is an ideal option for gated back yards and other areas with limited access, when compared with a walk-behind mower. Available with 32- or 36-inch UltraCut Series 3 cutting decks, Vertex E-Series is ideal for contractors that maintain small- to mid-sized properties. 

Powered by an electric start, twin-cylinder Kawasaki FS600V commercial engine, Vertex E-Series models use HydroGear pumps and Parker wheel motors to deliver ground speeds of up to 7.5mph forward. The dual-action controls provide quick, responsive control, and the single-point cut height adjustment system quickly and accurately sets deck height from 1.0- to 4.5-inches, in .25-inch increments.

The popular Vertex S-Series model carries through to 2024. Vertex S-Series models are available with a choice of 48-, 52-, or 60-inch UltraCut Series 4 cutting decks. A choice of carbureted Kawasaki or EFI Kohler engines deliver power though Exmark’s proven hydro drive system to deliver ground speeds of up to 8.5-mph.

Exmark uses the HyperCell Power System to power the electric Vertex V-Series mowers. Patent-pending management software delivers up to 7 hours of runtime per charge. The Vertex V-Series uses commercial high-torque wheel motors working with a planetary transmission to deliver a smooth, responsive feel at the controls and ground speed of up to 10 mph. Exmark offers the Vertex V-Series with a 52-inch Electric Series 4 side-discharge cutting deck. The high-torque deck motors feature a 9-inch diameter cast aluminum spindle housings with blade retainers for maximum commercial durability.

Each Vertex model features a design that places the heaviest components low in the chassis to improve stability, maneuverability, and traction. Vertex models are engineered to run all season without maintenance, virtually eliminating productivity killing in-season downtime. The open architecture offers easier access to engine and hydro drive system components.

Exmark is currently offering specials that can save buyers thousands on select Vertex models, including instant rebates of $1,500 on Vertex E-Series and Vertex S-Series models. Buyers of the new Vertex V-Series electric stand-on mower are eligible to receive a $2,000 instant rebate. Plus, new and existing Exmark fleet customers receive 15-percent off CSP on any Exmark stand-on mower, and will receive a $1,000 bonus per unit purchased on fleet qualified purchases.
