N ow you can turn out a great-looking yard with less turn-around time. The secret to this timesaving device? Spin-Steer Technology (TM). Steering is controlled by the rear wheels. The patent-pending design lets you enjoy differential steering with a steering wheel, instead of the conventional stick controls used on traditional zero-turn-radius machines. The rear wheels do not turn, but rotate in opposite directions. This provides a quick, efficient spin turn.

  • No more getting cornered. Unique differential steering allows you to turn from 0 up to 360 degrees with a quick turn of the wheel. The perfect timesaver when back-and-forth mowing or trimming around bushes, fences, and other lawn challenges.
  • Three-point turns are a thing of the past. You'll probably forget this machine even has reverse (because you'll rarely need to use it).
  • Comfortable, deluxe seat provides a smooth ride on rough terrain. Adjustable seat suspension allows you to adjust for varying operator heights.
  • "Reverse logic," another John Deere exclusive, assures steering wheel reacts like traditional steering tractors. Patent Pending.
  • Headlight wraparound design illuminates an extra wide 270-degree area. This gives you outstanding visibility to the front and sides.
  • Sloped hood provides operator with up to 50 percent more visibility to the front than regular lawn tractors.
  • Easy-lift mower deck system makes lifting and lowering the mower deck a cinch. To raise, simply depress the deck pedal; release to lower. This patent-pending design lets your legs do all of the lifting.
  • Convenient Twin Touch transmission pedals let you control speed and direction with one foot. Forward and reverse pedals are mounted side-by-side for quicker, more comfortable operation.
J ohn Deere has put a spin on traditional engineering and turned out a tractor that actually makes mowing enjoyable. From the wide comfortable footrests to the color-coded controls and handy cup holder, everything is designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. There's even a rotary-dial cutting height adjuster that lets you preset your cutting height from 1 up to 4 inches in 1/4 inch increments, with a quick twist.


A nyway you turn it, the all new Spin-Steer Technology Lawn Tractor takes it shape from futuristic technology. For example the engine upfront design in a zero-turn machine. This patent-pending technology keeps the weight up-front, ensuring correct weight distribution from front to rear. Or smooth power steering operated by a steering logic control system.

L ike every John Deere machine, quality is designed into every detail. From the greasable metal steering bushings to John Deere'e fully welded, heaviest gauge lawn tractor frame yet.



T he engine and battery are easily accessible under the lift-up hood. The easy-starting, overhead-valve, V-twin engine features cast-iron cylinder liners, full-pressure lubrication and standard oil filter - all designed for quick starts, quiet performance, and powerful mowing for many years to come.
