One of the defining features of zero-turn mowers is the mowing speed that they’re capable of. With top speeds of 7 to 11 miles per hour, they can cover incredible amounts of ground. Combined with wide mower decks, it takes very little time to mow even in the largest lawns. But as every homeowner knows, mowing fast is usually a good way to get an uneven cut. Not so with John Deere zero-turn mowers. The available Accel Deep decks and High Capacity decks that can be found on these mowers all handle high-speed mowing without a problem.
Operator comfort is another selling point of the John Deere zero-turn mowers. By using large front caster wheels and large drive wheels, these mowers are able to provide a smoother ride, even over rough terrain. This is helped with high backed seats with thick padding and mechanical suspension. On the Z700 Series zero-turns, you can even dial in the seat support based on operator bodyweight. John Deere zero-turns also feature large foot platforms with ample legroom that both provide comfort in operation but also makes entry and exit of the mower easier.
