Servicing, maintenance and repair support from our workshop at 424 Ohaupo Road.
Strong V-Twin engines, practical cutting decks and comfortable controls for larger residential and lifestyle properties.
Masport has long been a familiar name in New Zealand lawn care, and its ride-on range follows the same practical approach.
The lineup covers different ways of mowing rather than forcing every property into the same solution.
Choose a rear-catching lawn tractor when a tidy finish matters, a side-discharge tractor for straightforward general mowing, or move into a zero-turn when manoeuvrability and covering ground efficiently become the priority.
Across the range, the focus is on simple controls, useful cutting widths, hydrostatic drive and equipment that makes regular mowing easier.
At STIHL SHOP Te Awamutu, we’ll help you choose around your property rather than simply comparing horsepower.
Tell us how much you’re mowing, what the terrain is like and how you want to deal with the clippings.
Choose rear collection, side discharge or mulching capability depending on the model and the finish you want.
Foot-operated hydrostatic transmissions make it easy to control speed without manually changing gears on the featured lawn tractors.
The featured Masport tractors and zero-turns use V-Twin engines designed to deliver smooth, dependable power across larger mowing areas.
Stay with familiar steering-wheel operation or move into a zero-turn platform when tighter manoeuvring and mowing efficiency matter more.
These four models cover four distinct mowing requirements — rear catching, conventional side discharge, compact zero-turn and larger-area zero-turn mowing.
The best choice depends on your property layout, access, terrain, mowing frequency and the finish you want.
A versatile rear-catching lawn tractor for larger residential lawns and lifestyle properties where collecting clippings and leaving a tidy finish are important.
Its hydrostatic transmission, 40-inch rear-discharge deck and included mulching capability give you flexibility to catch or mulch depending on conditions.
A straightforward side-discharge lawn tractor for larger lawns and lifestyle blocks, combining a 42-inch deck, smooth hydrostatic drive and V-Twin power.
It’s a strong choice where efficient general mowing matters more than collecting every clipping.
A compact zero-turn designed for larger residential lawns where manoeuvrability and mowing efficiency are priorities.
The 42-inch deck offers a useful balance between coverage and access, while Hydro-Gear zero-turn drive makes it easier to work around trees, gardens and other obstacles.
The bigger zero-turn option for larger open properties, combining a wide 50-inch deck with stronger V-Twin power for faster coverage across substantial mowing areas.
It’s the natural step up when reducing mowing time becomes a key priority.
Specifications shown are indicative of current New Zealand models and may change. We’ll confirm exact specifications, availability and pricing when you enquire — and if another mower better suits your property, we’ll tell you.
Deck width and engine power matter, but they shouldn’t be the first things you choose.
Start with your property.
We’ll help you look at how much grass you’re mowing, how open the site is, whether you need to collect clippings and whether familiar tractor steering or zero-turn manoeuvrability makes more sense.

Tell us a little about your property and we’ll help narrow down the options.
What customers commonly want to know when comparing Masport lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers.
The biggest difference is how they handle the grass.
The TTM102RH is a rear-catching mower with a 245-litre collector, making it a strong option where you want clippings removed and a tidy finish.
The TTM108SH uses a 42-inch side-discharge deck and is better suited to straightforward general mowing where collecting the grass isn’t the priority.
Both featured models use 19HP Masport V-Twin engines and hydrostatic transmissions.
Choose based on the property and how you prefer to mow.
A lawn tractor gives you conventional steering and is easy to get familiar with.
A zero-turn gives you much tighter manoeuvrability and can save time on larger properties, particularly where there are trees, gardens or other obstacles.
If you’re unsure, talk to us about the layout of your property rather than making the choice from specifications alone.
The ZTM 42 uses a 42-inch deck and 17HP V-Twin engine, while the ZTM 50 steps up to a 50-inch deck and 23HP V-Twin engine.
The 42-inch machine is easier to work through tighter areas.
The 50-inch model covers more ground on each pass and makes more sense where the property is larger and more open.
It can be a good fit for smaller to medium lifestyle properties where a clean, collected finish is important.
Masport currently positions the model for domestic lawns up to 6,000 m² on flat to gentle slopes, but property layout and conditions matter as much as total area.
Yes.
Masport currently positions the ZTM 42 for domestic lawns up to 12,000 m² and the ZTM 50 for up to 14,000 m² on flat to gentle slopes.
Treat those figures as broad manufacturer guidance rather than the only factor when choosing a mower.
Think about access first.
A 42-inch deck can be more practical where there are tighter gateways, landscaped areas or confined spaces.
A 50-inch deck becomes more valuable where most of the mowing area is open and you want to reduce the number of passes required.
The TTM102RH includes a mulch plug, and the TTM108SH also offers mulching capability in addition to side discharge.
The ZTM range can also use optional mulch kits.
Talk to us about how you normally mow and we’ll help determine the most useful setup.
The current ZTM 42 and ZTM 50 include spring-mounted adjustable seating with armrests and operator controls positioned around ease of use.
Comfort becomes increasingly important as the size of the property and mowing time increase.
Yes.
Our Te Awamutu workshop provides servicing, maintenance and repair support for suitable Masport ride-on mowers, so you have local backup after the mower leaves the showroom.
Talk to us about what you’re currently using when you’re considering an upgrade.
We can discuss your existing mower and the options available when moving into a new Masport.
Come in and compare the range, or talk to our team about your property and what you need your next mower to do.
