High Quality Parts

Commercial-grade DNA is a key characteristic of Spartan Mowers, so their models feature the same heavy-duty components across the lineup.

Design & Style

Spartan's passion for muscle cars from the late '60s has fueled the design of Spartan Mowers. Mow in style and turn heads with the stealthy profile of a Spartan.

U.S.A.

Spartan models are made with U.S. and global parts at their facility in Batesville, Arkansas. They're proud of their hardworking team and community.

Enhanced XTF Deck System

Spartan's Xtreme Turf Flow (XTF) decks have been redesigned and enhanced to meet the spring, summer, and fall mowing conditions everywhere.

LED Light Kits

Mounted directly to the front of the mower, an LED light bar is great for finishing up at dusk and lighting the way to your trailer or shed.

HD Fusion Welded Frames

Constructed from heavy-duty 3" x 1.5" 11-gauge tube steel, Spartan Mower frames are built tough.

EZ Debris Removal

To help keep your machine cleaner after each use, the belt covers are open in all directions for easy removal of accumulated debris.

Anti-Slip Mat

All models are equipped with a rubber anti-slip foot mat that helps reduce vibration from the transmission to the operator’s foot.

Adjustable Steering Arms

Adjustable steering arms add comfort for the best fit while mowing.
