@gailjohnson6670 2 года назад

Excellent review and video. You are very knowledgeable and explain in easy to understand instructions. I did learn a some things from changing transmission if mower is stuck and positions of front wheel for different mower heights. I have my 2nd Z540M. The only thing I dislike is where the oil filter is located to change. Very difficult to get at. Now JD have placed a drainage hose and bracket to obstruct filter change even more. I never had a problem where the oil drainage plug was located before with any type of oil mess. If there was a dab of oil just wipe with a rag. Especially difficult oil filter change first time from manufacturer. The filter is put on so tight. I use a wide mouth pliers to get oil filter off with a lot of muscle and mumbling. The oil strap didn't work for me to get oil filter off. JD should of reinvented oil filter location and left oil drainage plug alone. And I'm a woman doing the oil change and service. I noticed the air cleaner is lacking a black foam filter like mine has on it in this video. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

@journeyon1983 11 месяцев назад

I bought this exact model zero turn mower and I love it. The cut looks professional. It will not clog with the huge exhaust chute. It's also great on gas. This model tages a little over 4 gallons of gas and I was able to cut a 1 1/2 acre at least 4 times before having to refill the gas tank. It's comfortable as hell. So if you're looking for a zero turn mower, this is it.

@fgonzalez78959 2 года назад

One thing it needs is when you push seat over to look under it..it needs to lock..i folded seat over to the front and strong wind came and slammed it back down and almost hit me in the head when i was checking oil filter for leaks from that angle.Also wish they have a shute holder on the up position for loading into small trailer or door way into shed. The scalper wheels i put wing nuts on them bolts for quick take off to move them up or down. Love the mower its a beast with the Kawasaki engine and that pedal to move deck up is great.

@typsytrae 2 года назад

Great video! One question though. You mention using air and not using water to clean the top of the deck because water could develop rust. Wouldn’t the bottom of the deck develop rust too, if you use the wash out port?

@Blade-mh3mi 2 года назад

Thats true also. But JD rather you not use water on top because of bearings and such. I always use my blower to clean mine after cutting and use water once a year when putting it up for the winter. But after using water I blow off the water with my blower. Never leave it sitting.

@WesternEquipment 2 года назад

Yes, it would but after using the wash out port you should always leave your blades running for a while to ensure the underside dries. Good question and thanks for watching!

Hey great vid. I took delivery of this model a week ago, I just noticed my 48 inch does not have the front dual rollers on deck. Is this something I should consider adding on or is ok the way it is?! Thx

@WesternEquipment 2 года назад

If it doesn’t have the front rollers but does have the brackets then I would definitely add them. They are relatively inexpensive and will aid in the performance of your mower and cut quality. Good question and thanks for watching!

@reno4819 2 года назад

With these reviews could you also briefly mention what optional equipment is available e.g. sprayer, trailer hitch, grass catcher, spreader, etc. and also could you cover how to remove/install the deck?

What about the operation, how it cuts, what problems have been reported? A seat is a seat okay but I want it to cut grass its a tool period. Oh by the way I have never used a cup holder on a mower when I cut to much dust. Were are the grease fittings and how much oil and air pressure. Deep dive details.

@synopticfixes6213 9 месяцев назад

Airflow within the deck is not a good selling point when strength is the trade off. Airflow is not as critical as the stamped deck’s inferior strength. They get bent, when that happens blades go out of alignment with each other causing a poor uneven cut across the width of the deck. If you have a pristine level lawn no problem, however if have a variety of surfaces and rough uneven terrain or have to occasionally bump into things you cannot count on durability over time. I want something bulletproof, this is not. It’s cheap and a manufacturer shortcut. If it weren’t for that I would strongly consider purchasing JD, but the stamped deck is a deal breaker. I have a JD conventional lawn tractor that has a bent deck.

Hey Brent when I turn my mower to the on position it has e33. Do you know what that means? My mower does not show the amount of fuel when I turn the key in the on position either.

@WesternEquipment 2 года назад

So this is a fuel level sensor code. You may need to replace the sensor but a technician would have to look at it to know for sure. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

What is the Best mower for a mowing business that don’t have a lot of money

@WesternEquipment 2 года назад

Honestly this is all based of of wants, needs, and the amount of money you are willing to spend. I have seen smaller mowing businesses uses as small as S100 series mower all the way up to the commercial Z900's and everything in between. The cheapest mowers are the S100 series and then they go up from there. All of these mowers can last if they are well taken care of. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

@franknbeans3651 Месяц назад

Loved my z530m when I bought it. Unfortunately it lasted 32.1 hours (Less than 2 years) before the transaxles on both sides started making horrendous whining noises. Wish I would have bought it from you guys, but unfortunately I was living in another state at the time. I was hoping that by spending good money for a mower it would be dependable but now I don’t know what to do.

There is not a fuel shut off but did the dealer or place you bought it from put fuel in it? I know this sounds crazy but sometimes these mowers get sent out with hardly any fuel in them so this could be your issue.

Nothing to do with this video, but I have a question. I'm about to purchase a new JD 3025e with FEL and backhoe. I'll be using this for moving dirt and leveling/maintaining my property (less than 10 acres) I'll be using a Frontier 60" BB & pallet forks, but no PTO implements for the foreseeable future. Would 25hp be too little for this tractor? I'm pulled towards the 3025 due to the lack of any emissions & price. My dealer has plenty of 3032's available as well, but as I said emissions, whatever machine I use will be sitting and running for extended periods of time so I fear the DPF on an emissions tractor will fill quickly. Is this a valid concern for a machine that'll be doing alot of backhoe work? ANY advice would be much appreciated before I make my purchase here in a few days.

@WesternEquipment 2 года назад

I would honestly look into a bit higher horse power. The good thing is with the DPF system you can keep working even if the exhaust is cleaning. I would play it safe and go with more HP rather than wishing you had it later on. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Doesn’t make much sense John Deere says only use air to clean top of deck. Use water underneath to clean. You get chips and dings underneath. The bottom is gonna get rust with that water clean out.

I see where you are coming from but if the cleaning is done correctly under the deck then there should be a drying period after the cleaning is done to prevent any rusting or further damage.

Another dislike for me is the john deere sticker slapped on kawasaki motor. Plus john deere transmission they designed rather then going with the transmissions 90% of other commercial mowers are using. They seem to be going in an independent direction rather than trying to compete with leading commercial manufactures like Skagg, Ex mark Toro, gravely, grass hopper etc. All seem to have better build quality than the deere... tons of plastic on the deere weird slanted front mounted wheels... the list goes on. People buy these and other John Deere products for that green and yellow paint.

@Andrew Wolford thanks for leaving a comment we always appreciate everybody’s thoughts. You have some good points and everybody seems to have different uses and needs that their mowers need to perform. I hear a lot of Deere mowers around for over 20 years and still running but there isn’t an argument on resale value. It’s something most of us don’t think about until upgrading mowers. That’s not important to everybody but selling your Deere on Facebook marketplace in 10 years will bring more than all the previous brands. I’ve seen brands and dealer support come and go but you can bank on dealer support from Deere. Thanks again for your point of view, we love hearing it all.
