I thought you guys may be interested in this. So...searching around, I wasn't able to find a good solution for being able to lift a zero-turn with a 4-post. I used the Titan's metal ramps to drive the mower on the lift. Note that it may be easier to back the mower on the lift and then drive-off when done.

I created a simple box out of 2x4's, which allows you to drive the zero-turn over the lift ramps. The measurements for this particular mower is long enough to stretch from ramp-to-ramp and actually doesn't "need" the box (other than to drive over it), however it's a good safety measure just in case the mower rolls forward/back. This mower only has about 1" of tire on the lift ramps (front and rear) and I wasn't comfortable standing under that. You can clearly see this in the second picture.

Pretty simple to make, the four 2x4's that are perpendicular to the ramps are 40 1/2", the two parallel 2x4's are 38" and 44", and the small pieces are 5 3/4" and 2 3/4".

Your idea is probably better than mine. I throw a chain over the rear support and hook it to the tractor axle. I could hang it vertically if I wanted, but stop around 45 deg

I always have a car stored on my four post lift and I'm too lazy to lower it down and put it outside so I can use the lift to raise my mower. I just lower the lift with the car still on it to a level just a little higher than the tractor. Then throw a chain over one of the ramps and raise the car and the mower, front or rear depending what I'm working on.

I just use 2 sliding jack trays I back the ztr rear wheels on one tray and let the front wheels sit on the other tray. Mower goes on the ramps same direction as cars.
