For some, mowing can be a time-consuming operation, especially if you’re staring at several acres of thick, lush grass. With only so many evening and weekend hours, making the most
of your time is high on the priority list. You
want to do a good job, but you also don’t
want to be tied to a mower for half a day.
Mow at a faster clip. The solution may well be the new Z-Trak™ Estate Z500 Series from John Deere. These revolutionary new zero-turn mowers are geared towards customers who demand a bit more from a mowing machine. "When we conducted some consumer research, we found a whole host of large property owners who wanted something better than a residential grade machine, but didn’t want to pay the price of a professional unit," says Mark Pavcik, group product manager. "Add it all up and we decided it
was a segment we could not ignore."
The Z-Trak Estate Series has features
you won’t find on any other zero-turn mower.
Start with the 7-Iron deck, made out of thick
7-gauge steel and stamped into perfect form,
using 4 million pounds of pressure. The "Turn
Key + 1" ignition means starting the machine
is as easy as starting a car. There’s also a
heavy-duty ground drive transmission, large
displacement engines, and a 10-mph transport
speed to get the job completed in as
little time as possible.
But the Z-Trak Estate Z500 Series mowers
have more going for them than just performance.
"Comfort was definitely a priority
when we designed these mowers," says Kim
Ridel, tactical marketing manager.
Comfort comes standard. "That’s why we
put in features like comfortable seats with
arm rests, conveniently placed controls, and
wide rear tires for a comfortable ride," Ridel
continues. Customers also have the option
of upgrading to a Comfort & Convenience
package. Available on the Z520A, this package
features large, ergonomically positioned
grips on the control sticks to reduce fatigue,
a push button deck raise, and a deck PTO kill
switch for greater safety.
For those who have got a lot of grass to cut and want a mower that’s going to last for a good long time, the Z-Trak Estate Series mowers could be just the ride you’re looking for.
