Exmark took\u00a0the Quest <\/a>and added a lot of nice comfort features\u00a0from the previous line. Starting\u00a0with the E Series<\/a>, the step-up design,\u00a0which they took from their larger Radius line, makes it easier for the operator.\u00a0You don’t have that big step to get up on\u00a0the machine. The new Quests <\/a>give offer a nice, low profile for entering and exiting the machine.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a new control lever for your height of cut with nice, easy-to-read height of cut settings and a redesigned platform, using a nice, fabricated deck, versus a stamped deck, for extra strength and durability and nice big cushion handles.<\/p>\n The\u00a0E Series<\/a> offers either a 42-inch or 50-inch deck, both fabricated decks and\u00a0they are powered by the 22 horsepower Kohler\u00a07000 series engine. This is a nice way to get\u00a0into something that\u2019s a little step up from your basic\u00a0homeowner machine. The Quest E Series<\/a> is a great option and offers Exmark’s legendary\u00a0quality cut and durability in an entry level\u00a0machine.<\/p>\n Along with the E Series, there are new models in the Quest S\u00a0Series<\/a> line. The S Series has the same design as the E but Exmark took different features from the larger Radius line, including the drop pin for height of cut changes. A magnetic held pin\u00a0is used to set your different heights and a foot assist to raise your deck up and\u00a0down. The foot assist makes it easier to adjust the deck, especially for\u00a0larger decks. The S Series<\/a> comes in a 54-inch deck.<\/p>\n The S Series<\/a> has a nicer seat with armrests, which comes standard, larger front and rear tires, and Exmark upgraded the\u00a0transmissions from the 2100 Hydro Gear to the 2200.\u00a0This gives you a little more durability\u00a0and a little faster ground speed.<\/p>\n Another big enhancement, the S Series<\/a> features a 24\u00a0\u00bd horsepower commercial series engine. This is the same engine you’ll see on much\u00a0higher priced equipment so you’re getting a true\u00a0commercial-grade engine on the Quest S Series, which is a nice step up from the E Series. The S Series<\/a> can tackle those larger\u00a0properties all at a very attractive price\u00a0point.<\/p>\n
