Q810E showing compact design
From the operator's platform to the mower deck, John Deere QuikTrak™ Mowers have a compact and functional design:
- The compact design allows the QuikTrak to operate in tighter areas that a larger machine cannot. Often, this means the area can be mowed with a QuikTrak so it is not necessary to switch to a walk-behind mower, reducing the time on site.
- With the compact design of QuikTrak Mowers, less space is required on a truck or trailer - which can mean there is room for an extra mower, resulting in less time on property, saving time and money.
Whether mowing hills or on level terrain, trimming or mowing straight-away, the operator of a John Deere QuikTrak can affect the performance of the machine with their body:
- The compact design of the QuikTrak allows the operator to use their body to help control the machine.
- The innovative QuikTrak design puts the operator in line with the rear axle to keep traction when mowing across slopes, providing greater control.
- Faster ground speeds get work done quicker.
- Better traction on slopes gives more control and increased productivity.
- Superior stability gives more control and confidence when operating.
- Better visibility allows for quick operator reaction times to changing terrain and obstructions.
- Standing area is designed for improved range of motion to allow the operator more room to move and avoid obstacles.
- Minimal operator station obstruction allows safe and fast exits for clearing mower-path obstacles.
- Operator area is designed for more comfort and less fatigue.
Inset caster wheels (Q810E shown)
John Deere QuikTrak Mowers are designed, tested, and manufactured to provide the best commercial mowing machines available:
The shape of the front edge of the mower deck allows caster wheels to be set back further, closer to the blades, for more effective ground following capability.
Compact design takes less space for mowing tighter areas and may allow room for an extra machine when hauling to the worksite.
