New John Deere zero-turn mowers
for 2016
Models in John Deere’s Ztrak Series
zero-turn lawnmower range feature
several enhancements for 2016,
including new mower decks, a new
numbering system and new styling,
similar to the company’s commercial
models. The updates make these
machines even more versatile and
easy to operate.
trak mowers deliver on-the-spot
turning, using easy to operate
control levers. This means
there is no obstacle this
machine cannot easily and
efficiently manoeuvre around,
saving you time and effort. With a choice of 107
and 122cm (42 and 48in) cutting widths, the allnew Accel Deep mower decks provide higher
levels of cut quality and finish, as well as
greater productivity, durability and versatility.
The deep, flat-top deck allows a clean flow of
grass clippings from the large discharge
opening. Minimal re-cutting improves the
mower’s capacity and available power,
enabling the machine to maintain high
performance even in difficult mowing
conditions and at greater speeds.
Thanks to its smooth contours, the deck
stays cleaner in work and is also easier to clean
when servicing, as there is less build-up of recut material. The deck’s heavy-duty, durable
design ensures many hours of trouble-free
operation. It features twin mower wheels for
greater strength and low-tension belt drives,
which reduce loads on the engine and mower
bearings.
Z
The MulchControl attachment (optional on
certain decks) provides superior mulching
performance and versatility. Changing from
side discharge to mulching or vice versa is
done with the simple flip of a lever.
Alongside these new features, the latest
Ztrak Series models come with additional
storage space and two cup holders, while the
control panel has been relocated from the left
to the right hand side of the machine for more
intuitive access. Other enhancements for 2016
include increased fore and aft seat adjustment,
an improved handbrake and a 30 per cent
increase in fuel tank capacity from 13 to 17
litres.
Prices of the new John Deere Ztrak Series
zero-turn mowers for 2016 start at £4075
including VAT.
