John Deere announced a number of new updates to its ZTrak zero-turn radius mower line on March 2, headlined by the Accel Deep mower deck option. This deck is specifically designed to suit the needs of homeowners who want better cut quality at faster speeds.
"John Deere's updated line of residential ZTrak mowers deliver both speed and superior cut quality," said Kim Ridel, tactical marketing manager at John Deere. "Our ZTraks prove it's not how fast you mow, it's how well you mow fast."
The ZTrak line, which was previously known as the EZtrak™ line, still features the same zero-turn radius that makes the mowers easy to maneuver on a wide variety of terrain.
The Accel Deep deck offers lift-up spindle covers to make servicing and cleaning a breeze. Additionally, the deck allows for a clean flow of material throughout the deck and discharge area while maintaining speed.
The deck is compatible with the innovative MulchControl™ kit, which lets operators switch between side discharge and mulching with a lever.
On the Z500 ZTrak series, there is now more vertical and lateral space between the seat and steering levers. With a fuel tank that has 28.5 percent more capacity, operators can also achieve more in one round of cutting. Additionally, all of the models have a wider seat and more cushioning to reduce operator fatigue.
