For the pasture or bumpy lawns, Hustler makes shock absorbing front forks for their Fastrak series Z's. After market $100 ea. Probably less if bought on mower since you aren't buying a fork and then replacing it.
I have another brand Z and I bought a pair for it and adapted them to fit.
They work best with a lot of weight as weight keeps the wheels on the ground.
On the Hustler 44" I added a suspension seat and took springs off an old garden tractor mower and installed them on the other since it is 52" and a lot heavier.
Then on the Hustler I added a 40# box of steel forward of the front wheels since it's FE is pretty light.
Then on both I installed mud lug tires for mowing my pond banks. Just need to be careful on the lawn in turning with the lugs to not rip up the turf.
Tire pressure is important and I use as little as I can and still keep the tubeless tires sealed. <10#
All in all, pretty satisfied.
I know there are some upper end mowers out there that have all the cushion ride and all but they are way more than I wanted to pay and I already had these.
I prefer Z over conventional for the turning convenience primarily and I use the smaller Fastrak as a get around vehicle since it has a nice deck out front where i can carry things like tools and pump up sprayers, and trash bags and whatever.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
