John Deere

Just because you don’t have a commercial lot doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a commercial-grade zero-turn mower from John Deere. The company has launched its new Z700 Series mowers for the residential market, bringing commercial quality and comfort to homeowners.

“Homeowners with large properties need durable, easy-to-use machines that also keep them comfortable throughout long mowing sessions,” said Kim Ridel, tactical marketing manager, John Deere. “The new Z700 Series hits the mark for these customers with commercial-grade construction, an integrated park brake, and an adjustable foot platform.”

Customers who are on the hunt for a wheeled feller buncher that can take on a large amount of work without slowing down may want to consider the John Deere 843L-II. Building off of its predecessor, the John Deere 843L-II packs even more power, with a capacity of 270 horsepower, and gross torque of 841 ft. – lb. Throughout the workday, there are no slowdowns with this machine.
