Features May Include: 

• Easy access fuel tank with fuel gauge keeps operator productive

The fuel tank is a twin-sheet design to and meets fuel tank regulatory requirements and still has the capacity to get through a normal day without refueling. Easy access to the fuel cap and clear view of the fuel gauge keeps the operator productive all day.

• Offset cutting units virtually eliminate triplex ring with a simple change in direction

The innovative offset design staggers wheel tracks in the cleanup cut by simply changing direction of travel each day. This allows the turf an additional day to recover before being driven over again, and serves to minimize triplex ring and compaction.

The cutting units offset to the left-hand side of the machine. This provides good visibility to the center cutting unit. The traction unit frame is designed to maximize visibility down the left-hand side of the machine from the operator's point of view.

• Optional weight transfer grass-catcher system transfers clipping weight to frame, rather than to cutting unit

Most golf courses want to mow the greens and collect the grass for a premium cut and even and smooth appearance. The most challenging concern with catching grass with a greens mower is that as the grass catcher fills with material, its weight is transferred to the cutting unit. This problem is multiplied with a riding greens mower because there are three cutting units and grass catchers collecting different amounts of grass, meaning different weights are applied to the three cutting units.

If the weight cannot be removed from the grass catchers, the different weights can cause different heights of cut with each cutting unit, leaving poor playing conditions and after-cut appearance. This is especially noticeable through undulations of a green and on the clean-up pass. The grass catchers on the riding greens mowers have been designed for optimum catching efficiency while maintaining a consistent, effective height of cut.

The exclusive John Deere grass catcher transfers approximately two-thirds of the weight to the vehicle's lift arm. This helps maintain a more-consistent cutting height to ensure a uniform cut across all three cutting units.

The front grass catchers can be removed and installed with one hand because of an innovative clip system. The clip secures the catcher to an adjustable bracket on the lift arm, transferring weight from the catcher to the lift arm as clippings accumulate in the catcher.

• Consistent height of cut through contour following, weight transfer, and cutting-unit suspension

The cutting-unit suspension and lift arms are designed with down stops for the lift arms to rest on when the cutting units are lowered to mow. This transfers the weight of the lift arms onto the traction unit frame rather than adding weight to the cutting unit.

The cutting-unit mounting system has a ball-joint swivel designed to allow the cutting unit to float independently of the lift arm. This design minimizes scalping and promotes a consistent height of cut by allowing the cutting unit to easily follow ground contours and steer in turns.

The cutting units can be easily and quickly removed from the lift arms by pulling the quick pin located behind the ball swivel joint and disconnecting the cutting unit support chain from the lift arm. This disengages the cutting unit assembly from the lift arm for service.

The cutting-unit drive motor also has a Quik-Tatch system that allows the technician to quickly remove the motor from the cutting unit for service. Simply loosen the mounting bolt that secure the motor to the bearing housing and twist the motor a quarter turn to remove.
