NEW JOHN DEERE RIDE-ON MOWERS
Among a host of new additions to the company ’ s lawn tractor and zeroturn mower ranges for 2021 , John Deere has expanded its commercial ZTrak ZTR range to include two new petrol models and two rear-discharge decks to meet customer demand .
Offering a high-output yet compact solution for groundscare professionals , particularly when working in restricted spaces , John Deere zero-turn mowers are based on a robust , heavy-duty frame including a ROPS . The high-gauge PRO steel rotary cutting decks feature a deep mowing chamber designed to handle more grass for increased capacity . This increases airflow so that a quality cut can be achieved even when mowing at maximum speed .
The new Z740R semi-commercial mower is powered by a Kawasaki 23.5hp commercial grade petrol engine , while the Z950R commercial machine has a larger Kawasaki 27hp petrol engine and is equipped with Michelin Tweel X Turf airless radial tyres as standard ( these are optional on the smaller model ). Both mowers feature an adjustable operator platform and ComfortGlide suspension seat with armrests , with easy access to a quick-change heightof-cut dial and on-the-go tracking adjustments to maximise mowing performance .
The Z740R offers a choice of highcapacity 122 or 137cm ( 48 or 54in ) side-discharge decks , while the larger Z950R is available with 137 or 152cm ( 54 or 60in ) side-discharge and new 152cm ( 60in ) rear-discharge decks .
