Z950M ZTrak™ Zero-Turn Mower

The Z950M is powered by an air-cooled, vertical shaft engine with 27 HP. It features an overhead valve design to provide more horsepower and torque per cubic inch of displacement, and greater fuel efficiency.

The engine utilises full-pressure lubrication with a full-flow filter, which reduces engine wear by ensuring proper lubrication, even when operating on hillsides or uneven terrain.

ZTrak™ Z900 Mowers are equipped with a dual-element, canister-style air filter, easily accessible from the rear of the machine without tools.

There are three seating options available for the M Series, all of which are factory installed :

1. Deluxe comfort seat with armrests
2. Deluxe comfort seat with armrests and isolation
3. Fully-adjustable suspension seat with armrests

Each seat has the ComfortGlide fore/aft suspension system that gives superior ride comfort over uneven areas. The deluxe comfort seat with armrests is standard on all E and M Series models, but alternative options come factory installed.

An exclusive 2-year, unlimited hour/3-year, 1200-hour (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper warranty is standard for all John Deere E and M Series Mowers. The warranty is best in its class and places John Deere at the forefront of commercial mowing. It is also hassle free, with one company handling all of the paperwork.

NOTE: 36 months or 1200 hours, whichever comes first. For the first 24 months, there is no hour limitation.

Mower decks are safety certified

Mowers decks are evaluated by the manufacturer (John Deere Turf Care) and conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) B71.4 2004 safety certification specifications for commercial turf care equipment.

A steel rear bumper provides protection for the machine. The bumper is made of two pieces, making it easy to remove and install when using a material collection system (MCS).

A rear hitch can be added to the steel bumper for towing purposes. ZTrak E, M, and R Series Mowers can tow up to 400 lb (181.4 kg).

The hydrostatic drive features two 13-cc (0.8-cu in.) unitized hydraulic pumps combined with commercial-grade, heavy-duty wheel motors into a single unit.

One pump and one motor drive each wheel on the ZTrak™ E and M Series Mowers. This provides several benefits:

• Exceptional cooling in high-load conditions
• Easy-to-check level and refill hydraulic oil
• Opens up access under the seat

John Deere provides the commercial mower industry with the Michelin X Tweel Turf technology for Commercial ZTrak Mowers, with a variety of sizes available to suit different mowers.

These tires offer several advantages including reduced rutting, excellent curb climbing, and a more consistent cut quality. Uptime is also improved as the exclusive technology eliminates downtime and associated cost due to flat or damaged tires.

Michelin is a world leader in tire manufacturing and technology. This airless radial tire solution is an industry first for John Deere, which provides an additional advantage to John Deere customers.

All ZTrak™ Mowers come with an onboard maintenance chart that is conveniently located inside the right-hand console. The service interval chart gives necessary service intervals.

The ZTrak™ Z900E, M, and R Series Mowers are equipped with a standard two-post folding ROPS and seat belt. The folding ROPS enhances operator safety and provides ample clearance when storing the mower in garages or sheds, has ISO21299 certification and is foldable for ease of storage.

On every John Deere ZTrak™ mower deck, there are three 1-in. (2.5-cm) spindles that are cold-forged and heat-treated for strength without bulk. The spindles are supported by precision ball bearings, providing great performance and reliability.

The spindle housing is made of aircraft-grade, ribbed cast aluminum on 48-in., 54-in., and 60-in. (122-cm, 137-cm, and 152-cm) decks, including Mulch On Demand™ configurations. This unique casting design embosses reinforcing gussets in the housing, which adds both strength and cooling surface area that stands up to commercial applications.

These spindles can be greased from the top and require no disassembly to reach. Grease channels provide lubrication to both bearings.

Propane tanks are not included.

An optional altitude kit is required when operating at altitudes above 2000 ft (610 m). The operator’s manual with the propane conversion kit provides further details. Parts must be ordered separately through John Deere Parts.
