I bought this mower with the expectation that I was buying a John Deere quality mower. At 50 hours of service I had to return to the dealer because the left steering motor quit pulling when mower gets warm. I have seen several reviews with this issue on the Z500 series mower. I wish I had them sooner.
My first John Deere was a 2011 Z425. That machine was amazing - built to last and super tough. To say that this new series is a poor comparison is almost too generous. I'm so disappointed with it, and it will likely be the last John Deere I ever buy. Everything about the build and body of this machine seems cheaper than in the past. It rattles, and it has VERY limited power. It can't cut even the slightest bit of taller grass so don't even try - it will just stall out. My past machine would breeze through taller grass without any strain on the engine. This one can't handle it. Also, be prepared...this machine blows all of the grass clippings directly in your face when you turn. I have to wear safety glasses when I mow the lawn - it's ridiculous. Also be prepared for the fact that it is very fussy to start - you have to have the choke in exactly one little spot, or the engine just whines without turning over. Braking is also "interesting" - in the older model if you disengaged the hand grips that machine stopped dead - in this one if you disengage the hand grips you'll roll until you can pull the brake up. Overall - seems like the old "nothing runs like a deere" does not apply here unless the deer we're referring to is lame.
I have 6.5 hours on the mower.so far a great cut.I keep reading the manuel and learning new things.also the facebook site for John Deere Z track owners is a great help at times from real world users.
I bought my John Deere over 2 months ago and I’m truly enjoying it. I’ve been saving time cutting my 5 acres vs using my old craftsman mower.
Bought the machine one month ago and it is a good solid mower. There is a bit of vibration. Dealer replaced the deck belt and tension-er spring and checked blades, spindles, and deck pulleys under warranty but the vibration remains. Will keep watching and checking. We need to check it against another new one.
The sales person tried to talk me out of buying this mover. He told me I wouldn't be able to relax with a drink and ride around my yard. I told him I just wanted to cut my grass faster. I went from 2 hours with a push mower to about 30 minutes. I was a little concerned because I have some pretty steep hills on the side of my house. They are no problem. This is a huge time saver. Worth every penny. Comfortable. Easy to use.
Working better than I thought yard looks great !!!!!
This is the roughest zero I ever owned rides so roygh. No front suspension . It's great on fuel economy.
Outstanding mower, cuts good and rides great. Would highly recommend
