<p>ZTrak™ 900 Series Zero-Turn Mowers, QuikTrak™ Stand-On Mowers, Commercial Walk-Behind Mowers, Front Mowers</p>


CMME: Commercial Mowers

<div>
<p>The Z994R is powered by a 3-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with gross SAE J1995, PS 24.7 hp (18.4 kW) rated power at 3200 rpm that meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Final Tier 4 emission standards:</p>
<ul>
<li>High-torque, low-emission diesel engine for strong performance in the toughest conditions</li>
<li>Low vibration and noise levels</li>
<li>Isolated with rubber mounts for a smoother operator ride</li>
<li>Superior fuel economy</li>
<li>High torque reserve for plenty of power and performance</li>
</ul>
<p>Key features of the engine include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Economical, cast-in block cylinder design provides good cooling and long life.</li>
<li>Liquid-cooled design provides more consistent operating temperatures than air-cooled.</li>
<li>Fuel filter with replaceable element is provided.</li>
<li>Indirect fuel injection uses a pre-combustion chamber to give the engine smooth and quiet operation.</li>
<li>Full-pressure lubrication with full-flow filter lengthens engine life.
<ul>
<li>Engine wear reduced by ensuring proper lubrication, even when operating on hillsides or uneven terrain.</li>
<li>Oil filter helps keep oil clean for increased engine life.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Aluminum alloy pistons with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connection rod bearing loads and provide good heat-transfer characteristics.
<ul>
<li>Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, thereby reducing blow-by fuel and noise from the piston slap.</li>
<li>Higher top rings on the piston and a thinner head gasket greatly reduce the volume of unburned waste and increase combustion efficiency.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Timing gears and injector drive gears utilize helical profile gears to help lower engine noise.
<ul>
<li>Gear teeth have a &#8221;roll-off&#8221; profile, giving almost no clash, no noise, and no backlash.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Glow plugs provide quick starts in temperatures down to -18°C (0°F)</li>
<li>Key start and shutoff eliminate fuel shut-off knob; electric solenoid shuts fuel supply off immediately when key is turned off.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Air cleaner with secondary safety element and restriction indicator</h5>
<ul>
<li>Dual-element, dry-type air cleaner with safety element and air service indicator
<ul>
<li>Dual-element design for added engine protection and easy service</li>
<li>Completely sealed for effective cleaning</li>
<li>Ninety to 95 percent of dirt ejected before it reaches the paper element</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Air cleaner restriction indicator to let operator know when the filter needs servicing</li>
</ul>
<h5>Radiator</h5>
<p>A sealed radiator compartment controls trash and debris. A cover is provided over the radiator, and a cooling fan area controls the flow of air.</p>
<p>Knobs on both ends of the cover hold it in place.</p>
<p>An automotive-type radiator, coolant reservoir, and electric cooling fan are provided to remove heat from the engine coolant:</p>
<ul>
<li>The cooling fan is thermostatically controlled so it only runs when necessary.</li>
<li>See-through coolant recovery tank permits the operator to check the coolant level without removing the radiator cap.</li>
</ul>
<p>A debris screen with a corrugated shape to give a large surface area covers the intake air side of the radiator to keep the radiator fins clean.</p>
<p>The debris screen can be easily removed for cleaning, if desired, and also for access to the radiator fins.</p>
<h5>Fuel tank</h5>
<p>The Z994R Diesel ZTrak™ Mower is equipped with a single 11.5-U.S. gal. (43.5-L) fuel tank that provides enough capacity to allow mowing for a full day without refueling:</p>
<ul>
<li>Large, angled filler neck makes for easier refueling</li>
<li>Fuel cap tether is provided to secure the filler cap while refueling</li>
<li>Fuel gauge is provided as standard equipment</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><em>NOTE: The fuel fill level is 1 in. (25 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.</em></p>
<h5>Gearbox cooling fins and fan</h5>
<p>A right-angle gearbox is used to convert power from the horizontal shaft diesel engine to vertical shaft power to operate the vehicle transmission and the mower power-take off clutch. Cooling for the gearbox is provided by fins on the gearbox housing and a fan.</p>
</p>
</div>


Powerful 24.7-hp (18.4-kW) diesel engine delivers superior performance and efficiency

<div>
<p>There are four side-discharge mower-deck options available for the Z994R Diesel ZTrak™ Mower:</p>

<li>The 72-in. (183-cm) 7-Iron PRO Side-Discharge Mower Deck is suited to a variety of mowing jobs, including trimming and grooming.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Extra reliability and long life with cast-iron blade spindle housings</h5>
<p>On every commercial mower deck there are three 1-in. (25-mm) spindles that are cold-forged and heat-treated for strength. Spindles are supported by precision ball bearings that provide great performance and reliability.</p>

<li>Chance of deck shell damage is minimized with the 8-in. (20.3-cm) diameter housing and six mounting bolts that distribute loads and impacts.</li>
<li>Ability to be reliably rebuilt is provided by use of cast iron.</li>
</ul>

<li>The Brake &amp; Go starting system is easy to understand and use.</li>
<li>To start the machine, the parking brake must be engaged.</li>
<li>It does not matter whether the power take-off (PTO) switch is on or off, nor does it matter if the control levers are pulled in or extended out.
<ul>
<li>As long as the parking brake is engaged, the machine will start. When the parking brake is applied, the control levers cannot be moved.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Brake &amp; Go operator-presence system returns levers to the neutral position when the brake pedal is actively engaged.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Mower deck safety</h5>
<p>Mower safety features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A high-quality deflector that meets applicable safety standards and disperses cut grass</li>
<li>Spindle-sheave shielding that protects and is easy to remove without tools for cleaning and service</li>
<li>A substantial welded-on metal step on the mower deck for safer operator entry and exit from the machine</li>
</ul>
<h5>Mower decks are safety certified</h5>
<p>Mowers decks are evaluated by the manufacturer (John Deere Turf Care) and conform to American Nation Standards Institute (ANSI) B71.4 2004 safety certification specifications for commercial turf care equipment.</p>

Thoughtful designs and high-quality controls promote safe operation

<div>
<p>The spacious operator station has been designed for comfort, visibility, and ease of use:</p>
<ul>
<li>Getting on and off is easy with the flat operator platform.</li>
<li>Convenient-to-use controls located close to the operator are color coded and designed for easy identification and operation.</li>
</ul>
<p>The ROPS and seat belt work in conjunction to provide a protective zone around the operator:</p>
<ul>
<li>It reduces the operator’s risk of being crushed under the vehicle should it overturn.</li>
<li>When used with the seatbelt, the ROPS can reduce the severity of injury in the event of a rollover.
<ul>
<li>Use of the seat belt is recommended when operating with ROPS in the upright position.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Foldable ROPS and a retractable seat belt are standard equipment:</p>
<ul>
<li>Position adjustment pins provide a good grip and make changing the angle of the ROPS easier.</li>
<li>If operating in low clearance areas, the ROPS can be folded and secured out of the way. It can also be positioned in an intermediate position to accommodate machines equipped with a material collection system.</li>
<li>Under normal operation, the ROPS should be in the up position.</li>
<li>See Operator’s Manual for more information on ROPS.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Door height of most garages will accommodate the machine with ROPS in the full-raised position.
<ul>
<li>Easy-fold ROPS improves the ability to store the ZTrak™ mower in structures with a lower door opening.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<p>John Deere leads the commercial zero-turn mower industry with use of the Michelin X Tweel Turf technology.</p>
<p>Michelin is a world leader in tire manufacturing and technology. This airless radial tire solution is an industry first for John Deere, which provides a smoother ride for the operator and additional advantages to John Deere owners.</p>
<p>Advantages of the Michelin X Tweel Turf include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mowing performance is improved.
<ul>
<li>Rutting is reduced because the Michelin X Tweel Turf has more support across the surface for improved flotation and better ground contact.</li>
<li>Unique energy transfer within the poly-resin spokes reduces the bounce associated with pneumatic tires, to give a smoother ride.        </li>
<li>Excellent curb climbing is possible due to the Michelin X Tweel Turf construction and flexibility.</li>
<li>More consistent cut quality is achieved because inconsistent tire pressure is eliminated.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Uptime is improved.
<ul>
<li>The exclusive technology eliminates downtime and associated cost due to flat or damaged tires. Punctures and sidewall damage no longer result in downtime.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cost of operation is reduced.</li>
<ul>
<li>Cost of repairs and maintenance is reduced. One single unit replaces the current tire, wheel, and valve assembly. There is no need for complex tire-mounting equipment.</li>
<li>No need to spend time checking and optimizing tire pressure.</li>
<li>The need to purchase and stock plug kits and spare tires is eliminated, particularly for professional landscape contractors and government agencies who normally stock them.</li>
<li>The tire tread will last up to three times longer than current pneumatic tires because automotive-grade rubber is used for the tread.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Heavy-duty construction provides the ultimate in performance and reliable operation:</p>
<ul>
<li>High-strength poly-resin spokes carry the load.</li>
<li>Four-hole, heavy-duty steel hub easily bolts onto any Z994R ZTrak Mower.</li>
<li>Deep, open-tread design provides excellent cleaning and traction.</li>
<li>Zero degree, high-tensile proprietary carcass provides great lateral stiffness while resisting damage from impact and penetration.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Tires deliver exceptional traction, maneuverability, and reliability</h5>
<p>The ZTrak Z994R Mower is equipped with 13&#215;6.5-6 run flat front caster tires that provide:</p>
<ul>
<li>Excellent reliability and uptime</li>
<li>Low center of gravity to increase hillside mowing capability</li>
<li>Caster wheels and caster wheel towers with sealed bearings for long life and easy steering</li>
<li>Offset front caster wheels to help improve the inside corner-trim performance and reduce between-blade striping</li>
</ul>
<p>A choice of rear wheel options is available for factory installation:</p>
<ul>
<li>24&#215;12-12 4 PR pneumatic drive tires in base equipment for excellent traction, flotation, and curb climbing</li>
<li>24&#215;12-12  Michelin X Tweel Turf airless radial tire technology option for a smoother ride and more uptime</li>
