Professional landscapers continuously look for equipment to help bring more efficiency and productivity to their grounds care operations. Choosing a mower is one of the most important business decisions these landscapers can make. John Deere is making the choice a little easier with its latest line of commercial mowers, the Z-Trak™ PRO 900 Series.

“The new Z-Trak™ PRO 900s are the most productive, smoothest operating, easiest to use mowers we’ve ever built”, said Rene Lubbers, John Deere’s tactical manager, commercial mowing. “The Z-Trak™ PRO 900s, offer a commercial, two year bumper-to-bumper warranty with unlimited hours — proof that John Deere is confident in the series.”

Designed and developed in response to customer input, the seven models in the Z900 line-up feature the legendary, durable 7-Iron™ Pro deck with stamped, seven-gauge steel, full-wrap reinforcement and Mulch-on-Demand™ capabilities. With top mowing speeds of 16.8 or 19.3 km/h (10.5 or 12 mph), each model has the power and performance operators demand.

For superior controllability, the Z900s include a new, ground-drive transmission featuring a piston motor, internal wet disc brakes and a gear reduction final drive, providing more torque to the drive tyres. Users will also appreciate the Comfort & Convenience package with ergonomic control levers including built-in PTO shutoff and electronic deck raise and lower. And for effortless operation, the series offers dial-in height of cut adjustment on the control panel, on-board self-diagnostics, run-flat tyres and John Deere’s exclusive Brake & Go system.

“We’re excited for customers to get the Z900s out in the field and put them through their paces,” said Lubbers. “The 900 series covers more hectares faster, offers a higher quality of cut and will help landscape pros increase their uptime. We know they’re going to be as happy with them as we are.”
