Our Latest Game-Changer: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)

Why Choose an EFI Mower?

With a range of horsepower options available, our EFI mowers are designed to meet the needs of professional landscapers by delivering smooth performance on varying terrain. Some of the key benefits include enhanced fuel economy,1 optimized power output, and reduced tailpipe operating emissions1 compared to carbureted engines. But that’s just the start. Consider these benefits, too:

Easier Starting, Better Adaptability

EFI engines start up fast and automatically adapt to changing operating conditions for smooth performance and enhanced productivity, even on thick grass and slopes, at higher altitudes, and in cold climates.

Consistent Mowing Speeds

An electronic control module seamlessly adjusts the power output to maintain consistent mowing speeds, without hesitation or lag, for reliable cut quality no matter where you are working.

Reduced Maintenance

EFI engines typically require less maintenance than carbureted engines since they have fewer moving parts and do not need regular adjustments. With no throttle cables to break, they also save you on time and parts costs.

Longer Engine Life

The efficiency and precise control of EFI engines can lead to less wear and tear on engine components, potentially extending the engine’s lifespan.

The Decks You Need for the Way You Mow

Not everyone mows the same. We understand that. That’s why we have you covered with three great decks. First, there’s the legendary 7Iron™ PRO side-discharge deck. Forged from a single sheet of seven-gauge steel using four million pounds of pressure, the 7Iron deck is 5.5 inches (13.9 cm) deep. Which explains why it’s remained an industry standard for over twenty years.

And when it comes to mulching, nothing can match our Mulch On Demand™ deck that puts the power to choose between mulching and side discharge right at your fingertips. By shifting the lever to the mulch position, the movable gate closes off the discharge chute.

Z900 Series ZTrak™ Seat Options

John Deere has your back with durable seat options designed for long mowing days and exceptional operator comfort. Our ComfortGlide™ suspension system can travel up to two inches fore and aft, absorbing bumps

Lastly, if you need to mow right to the edge, there’s the FastBack™ PRO rear-discharge deck. Its unique baffling system reduces the clumping and windrowing often associated with reardischarge decks. So less clippings get on the operator and stay where they should: on the turf.

John Deere look adds durability and style. Sit down, buckle in, and get to work on professional mowing’s favorite seat.
