A rotary zero-turn steer-by-wire mower for golf courses includes a chassis, forward drive wheels mounted on axles mounted underneath the chassis and connected to an engine and transmission and swivel-mounted rear wheels mounted on the chassis. Side-by-side rear mower decks are mounted underneath the chassis with three side-by-side mounted forward mower decks mounted on a forward mower deck mounting structure extending forwards from the chassis, each of the five mower decks being independently mounted on a floating mount structure with hydraulic connections for driving the mower blades mounted therewithin. The mower unit is controlled by a steer-by-wire twin stick speed and direction control system which eliminates mechanical connection between the mower controls and steering and throttle systems, thereby reducing mechanical breakdown possibilities.
