The bottom of the Dixon ZTR 3362 includes a mower deck made of 11-gauge stamped steel with a 36" cut width. It uses a single blade driven by an electric clutch. Each rear wheel is independently driven by chain and sprockets through a friction mechanical drive. The chassis features twin 12-gauge side frames and a 7-gauge transmission and engine base plate.
