Hi. So I picked this mower up at Lowes a few days ago. John Deere Z515E with a 54" deck. This video is the first time I used this machine and you can see me figuring things out. If you're here because you're looking to buy this or have just bought one then welcome. You made a great choice. So far I love this mower. It's fast, comfortable and easy to use. Also, I've never had lawn stripes, never really cared to try. But as you can see in the video this mower will stripe a lawn with no effort. Hope this video helps you even a little.
Thanks for watching!
Update: I mowed my pasture the other day and did quick work of it (7 acres). Although it did get bogged down and stop a few times in the really thick stuff. By thick stuff I mean over 2 foot tall of really thickness. Also, it doesn't turn very well on the side of a hill. Can go up and down them no problem, but when your on it and trying to turn you'll slide around. At least with these tires on it. I still think this is the best mower I've ever had and I'm not regretting the purchase at all.

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ru-vid.comUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

Nice mower. I got one just like it today. I’ve had a Husqvarna RZ5426 for the past 9 years and the thing still runs great but I’m moving and taking the new one with me and leaving the Husqvarna at my parents house so I can mow their grass with it. But I’m already in love with this Z515 E.

@NicholsCounty 3 года назад

It is a nice mower. A very nice ride.

@oldkicker8958 Год назад

I e owned a 737 60, 445 54, 665 60, 540r 60 and now a 915e. Never a problem with anyone of them. It John Deere people! Now if I were a commercial mower I would probably get tired of the same old thing day in and day out however if you continue to keep trying new equipment then I would say your an expert in the buisiness, enjoy your new zeros

I bought the Z530M after a few times mowing my 2 acres . This is my opinion the Z530M is one rough riding mower. I bought the John Deere trying to save money . After having the mower a month . I went to John Deere and traded it in for a Z930M .

@NicholsCounty 2 года назад

Thanks. I think mine is a smooth ride. But I'm comparing that to a Craftsman Z560

@pyroman49wedd86 2 года назад

I bought the z530R 60 inch I was going to get it at lowes but decided to go to dealer. I went with a better warranty 600 hrs or 7 years. The biggest thing is for the next 7 years they will come get the mower for any warranty work and bring it back. Lowes, Home Depot won’t do that. The John Deere dealership warranty wasn’t much more than the lowes or Home Depot warrenty. Mine came with led lights and the rocking seat suspension.. I will have to find a after market canopy because John Deere does not have canopy’s for the Z500 models. I have seen some hard top canopy’s for 221.00 that mount to the rops.. I have a 24 hp Kawasaki. I found out that oil , filters and such are still cheaper at the John Deere dealership . Than home depot or lowes and even Walmart. Those Z 500 series are good mowers

@pyroman49wedd86 2 года назад

No charge to pick up and bring back for warranty work

@NicholsCounty 2 года назад

@pyroman49wedd86 2 года назад

I love my z530r it has a Kawasaki engine. Didn’t want a Briggs . Kawasaki is a lot easier on the gas. Purchase a 7 year warranty . All the transportation warrenty work free of charge. I recommend getting these mowers from a dealer rather than lowes or home depot. Just because of the free transportation from dealer. A lowes or home depot extended warrenty willnot do that.

@NicholsCounty 2 года назад

Yeah someone else mentioned that warranty. That does sound good.

@nicolaskensington4812 3 года назад

The veterans discount will be very helpful...thanks. I only want a 48 inch deck not a 54 inch. I was hopeful that you could advise whether the body shell is metal or plastic and doe sit have the quick oil change widget...but I guess if there is any display at Lowes I could see that. I am disappointed that I can not locate a new OEM mower deck from JD for my 12 year old JD Z425 . This machine is very similar in specs to the Z515E....Not good that John Deere is not supporting the parts for its older machines. Nick

@NicholsCounty 3 года назад

It's very hard to find a mower deck, even for newer mowers, if they sell the mower deck then less people will buy new mowers. It's pretty stupid, I looked into this myself. I'm not sure about the body shell, but anything that is green is metal, anything that is black is plastic. This machine has a normal oil filter and I would recommend not getting the easy change oil system. With this system you have to buy it from John Deere and its like $40 vs $10. Yeah it would probably save you 10 minutes every 50 engine hours, but I don't think it is necessary unless you absolutely need it.
