Having the best mower for your property’s needs makes all the difference. For homeowners weighing their options between a John Deere Lawn Tractor and a ZTrak zero-turn mower, we offer a range of top-tier models in both categories. But we’re here to help narrow down your options: which mower is the best fit for your property?
When it comes to mowers, you’re in good hands with John Deere. At Wright Implement, we’re proud to offer some of the highest-quality mowers on the market. Here’s a quick rule of thumb for narrowing down your options:
Choose a ZTrak if your property is full of trees, garden beds, and pathways. You’ll appreciate its speed and maneuverability. If your lawn is heavily sloped, or you need a more versatile tool for lawn maintenance, go with a John Deere Lawn Tractor.

Zero-turn radius: Ideal for navigating around trees, flower beds, and other lawn obstacles.
Speed: ZTrak models are capable of higher ground speeds resulting in faster mowing.
Commercial-grade options: John Deere’s line of zero-turn mowers is designed for residential and professional use, offering heavy-duty decks and powerful engines.
Finish: The ZTrak is praised for its clean, professional-looking cut.
Learning curve: Some operators are less comfortable with the dual steering levers and prefer the steering wheel of the Lawn Tractor.
Less ideal on sloped lawns: John Deere’s ZTraks are less efficient on hilly or uneven terrain.
Lower towing capacity: While the ZTrak offers towing capabilities, it can’t pull as much weight as a Lawn Tractor.
Familiar controls: The John Deere Lawn Tractor is built with easy-to-use steering wheel and foot pedals, making it a great option for beginners.
Hill capabilities: A Lawn Tractor is more stable on slopes than a ZTrak would be.
Towing capacity: Your Lawn Tractor can haul carts, dethatchers, sprayers, and more. For some homeowners, this is an absolute necessity.
Wider turn radius: This may require multiple passes and trimming around obstacles.
Slower mowing speeds: A Lawn Tractor is not capable of the mowing speeds you can achieve on a ZTrak.
Bulkier footprint: A Lawn Tractor is not as nimble in tight spaces or complex landscapes.
