 Let’s get to the basics fast and then break down some of the core benefits of the Altoz TRX 766. It offers:

·        A 66” deck. The All Terrain or the Aero Deck options are available and are superior for hill climbing and   maneuvering.

·        Hydro-Gear Transmissions, which include several options, allow users to have enough power and performance   for the work at hand.

·        Powerful engines, including the base 38.5 horsepower Kawasaki FX EFI, provide enough reliability and   performance to tackle the job with ease.

·        Get it done fast with the 8 to 11-mile-per-hour speed.

·        Superior ground pressure. This tractor's lower ground pressure means it does less damage to soft terrain,   including edges and hills.


Breaking Down the Altoz TRX 766

The Altoz TRZ 766 has the largest cutting deck of all zero turn mowers in this lineup of products. That means you get more done with each pass. While it is the most expensive of the four trim options in the Altoz mower lineup, there are a lot of benefits to choosing this model over others for your cutting needs.

In our review, we found that the Altoz TRX 766 offers:

·       The smoothest ride of all models

·       The most deck options of all models

·       The ability to mow over just about anything from the side of the highway to the thicket in the backyard

Here’s what makes this zero turn mower such an important investment option:

The 766 features the Kawasaki FX EFI engine. This engine provides 38.5 horsepower for reliable performance. It also offers a 14-gallon gas tank, which gives you nice flexibility for longer projects. That engine also gets the work done faster, offering 11 miles per hour of speed at the top level. That’s faster than most zero turn mowers on the market. This mower also has the Hydrogear ZT5400 transaxles, the highest level of all models.

The powertrain's performance is impressive. You can see it in action by watching the mower test video we created using the Altoz Mower TRX 766. This is the best way to see the mower in action and really get a feel for how well it performs.

Mowing Deck

As noted, the mowing deck on the 766 is 66 inches, the largest of the lineup. This model offers the option of two decks – the all-terrain and the Aero Deck. You can swap out the deck to fit the project at hand if you need to. The difference is in the blades. The Aero Cut deck features three blades. The All Terrain Cut provides six blades. Both feature blades that snap back, which means they are not likely to snap off when they encounter a tough surface.

The All Terrain model has chain guards on the side and a rear discharge. The deck cut height ranges from 2.5 inches at the minimum up to 6 inches, which is another advantage to using it on hills that may not get cut as often.

Features

As for the ride quality, the features help to make this mower comfortable and supportive. Cutting hills is challenging work, especially when the debris is flying, and there are unknown surface differences under all the brush. There are several factors that help to make the Altoz TRX 766 ideal for this environment.

First is the seat adjustment. The high-back seat is premium – it is a supportive suspension seat that’s designed for routine use. The suspension itself is impressive. It features a Torqflex front suspension system. This front suspension system improves comfort because it removes the chatter that’s coming from the front wheels. 

All mowers also have the Torsion Axle for back suspension, which is the manufacturer’s own product and design. This particular back suspension system is perfect for kills because it enables the wheels to have better traction over even the more challenging uneven surfaces. These are some of the smoothest and most enjoyable of all zero turn mowers to use today, and having tested out so many of them, Tractor Bob can state that with honesty and clarity.

One of the most common reasons people do not trust a track mower is the mistaken belief that these tracks will tear up the yard. That is not true for mowers like these. The opposite is the case. First, know that the All Terrain tread and Turf Tread options give you the options to fit your specific needs. However, we also find that these tracks are less likely to cause damage, especially in hilly environments or uneven surfaces, than tires on other vehicles. If those hills are wet, a tire system will create ruts and damage the lawn. However, with the track system, there is less risk of that occurring and more likelihood that you’ll have a smoother finish. In fact, tracks will also help prevent getting stuck in these environments.

The digital display and controls are front and center and easy to use. The display provides all of the information you likely need to have to make decisions while on the mower. When you need to make changes, it’s easy to do. There are also storage cubbies and a place for you to bring along your drink of choice. A clean, simple design like this helps you to stay efficient.







Dimensions of the Mower

The form factor is important when choosing a zero turn mower, and there are several key reasons why the Altoz TRX 766 is an excellent choice. It has a length of 96”, a width of 67.5”, and a height of 79”, offering empowered performance to fit your needs. Though the other models are slightly smaller (with the TSX-561) significantly smaller, the larger size makes handling this mower easy to do in rough conditions. 

As for the tires, these are 15” tires, and they are no flat tires, which is beneficial when you’re cutting deep into a wooded area or along a highway and need the tractor to outperform. The tractor weighs in at 1600 pounds. It also has the longest track, which means you have a bigger footprint on the ground, creating better traction for hilly or difficult conditions overall.
