2026 STIHL Zero-Turn Mowers RZ 760i

The Stihl RZ 760I with a Vanguard motor is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade zero-turn mower built to tackle large properties, farms, estates, and professional landscaping with power, durability, and smooth handling. Powered by a Vanguard commercial engine—an air-cooled, overhead valve (OHV) V-twin design with a displacement in the 800–900 cc class and output typically around 24–27 hp—this mower delivers strong torque for cutting thick grass, uneven terrain, and prolonged use. The engine is paired with dual hydrostatic transmissions, giving infinitely variable ground speeds and true zero-turn maneuverability via twin lap bars, so you can pivot around trees, beds, and obstacles with precision and little turf disturbance.

The RZ 760I’s cutting deck is a rugged fabricated steel design approximately 60 inches wide, reinforced for longevity and equipped with anti-scalp rollers to help maintain even cutting heights on uneven ground. Deck lift is typically foot-operated with a clear gauge for quick adjustments, offering a range of cutting heights from about 1.5 to 4.5 inches to match turf conditions. Blade spindles and drive pulleys are heavy-duty sealed units to withstand daily commercial use.

Chassis and traction components are engineered for stability and comfort: large rear drive tires provide grip and flotation, while free-rolling front caster wheels enhance agility. The operator station features a cushioned, adjustable high-back seat with armrests (on many configurations), easy-to-reach controls, and well-placed service access points. Fuel capacity sits in the 10–12 gallon range to support extended mowing without frequent refills. Additional professional-grade touches often include a welded front bumper, integrated foot platform with anti-slip surface, full suspension deck hangers, and grease fittings on key points for simple preventative maintenance.

Overall, the Stihl RZ 760I with a Vanguard engine combines a robust powerplant, commercial-tuned cutting system, and ergonomic design to deliver reliable performance, precise control, and durability for demanding mowing workloads.
