The Efco Rider Zephyr 72/12.5 K H 3‑in‑1 (2025 model) is a premium ride-on lawn tractor engineered for homeowners and groundskeepers who demand both efficiency and versatility for large lawns and estate properties. With a 72 cm cutting deck and a 3‑in‑1 mowing system, this machine allows grass to be collected, rear discharged, or mulched, giving you complete control over how your lawn is maintained.
Powered by a robust 413 cm³ single-cylinder Emak K1250 AVD petrol engine delivering approximately 9.2 kW (12.5 hp), the Zephyr 72/12.5 provides plenty of torque to handle thick grass, longer mowing sessions, and challenging terrain. Its hydrostatic transmission with single-pedal operation ensures smooth forward and reverse motion without manual gear shifting, making it both user-friendly and highly maneuverable.
The 72 cm cutting deck covers large areas quickly, reducing mowing time significantly for lawns up to approximately 4,000 m². Cutting height is adjustable across seven positions, ranging from roughly 30 mm to 80 mm, enabling a perfect lawn finish whether you prefer a short, manicured look or a more natural appearance. The turning radius of approximately 45 cm allows the tractor to navigate easily around trees, flowerbeds, and other obstacles, giving it excellent agility despite its wide cutting deck.
The 3‑in‑1 system features a rear-mounted 180‑litre grass collector for tidy collection, rear discharge for faster mowing of longer grass, and a mulching function to finely chop clippings and return nutrients to the turf. This ensures not only a clean and healthy lawn but also reduces the need for additional fertilization.
Operator comfort is a priority. The Zephyr comes with an ergonomic seat, a soft-touch steering wheel, step-through frame for easy mounting and dismounting, and large, stable tires that offer good traction and a smooth ride. The mower is designed for durability and low maintenance, featuring a solid build, blade engagement system, and easy cleaning options for the deck underside.
The Efco Rider Zephyr 72/12.5 K H 3‑in‑1 is ideal for larger residential gardens, estates, or professional landscaping where a reliable, versatile, and comfortable ride-on mower is required. It combines power, coverage, and flexibility, making it a highly efficient choice for maintaining large lawns with precision and ease.
