Excellent cut quality

54A Mower Deck underside (similar mower from ZTrak™ Z300 shown)

Deep mower-deck forging gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:

Reducing the amount of recutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
- Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
Exact Adjust deck-leveling system allows for easy and accurate leveling of the mower deck

Productivity - getting the job done fast

Left side of Accel Deep 54A Mower Deck

Deep mower-deck forging gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:

Greatly improves mowers capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds

Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:

Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
The 54A Power Flow blower has an inlet housing with over 20 percent greater area than the 54X Power Flow blower used on previous machines.

Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator

Accel Deep 54A Mower Deck

The flat-top shape of the deck forging is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:

There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
- Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
- Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
- Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside deck
The depth of the Accel Deep mower deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck:
- Limited amount of material to drift onto the operator and mower deck
- Even for material discharged out the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
- Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and MulchControl makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.

Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:

The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.

Mower wash port

Mower wash port with hose connector

A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy.

Hose connector is included with the mower deck.

Superior durability is designed in

Spindle pocket with flip-up cover

Easy-to-adjust mower wheel and mower side reinforcement

The 54A Mower Deck has strong spindle pockets, to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:

Forged from strong 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.4-mm) steel
Ribs in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.
The 54A has a 3 percent heavier overall weight than the Edge™ Xtra 54-in. (137-cm) Mower Deck used on previous machines.

Mower wheels are heavy duty:

Provides greater strength and durability for longer, trouble-free life.
Setting wheels to the correct height for the cutting height quick and easy.

Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on engine lower bearings and mower deck bearings for longer life.

The 54A Mower Deck features a 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side bumper that provides extra strength and protection.

Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.

Hydrostatic transaxle has traction assist

Hydrostatic transaxle

Piston-type rotating groups

The integrated hydrostatic transaxle (IHT) encloses the hydrostatic pump and motor rotating groups in the same housing with the differential and axle housing:

Very efficient piston-type design
Fewer sealing surfaces to minimize potential for leakage

When combined with the foot controls, the hydrostatic transmission functions similarly to that of an automatic transmission in an automobile, so the term automatic is often used to describe it.

Key features of the drive system are as follows:

Large pump and motor rotating groups for long life and efficient operation
Full-length axle housings to support heavy loads
Twin Touch™ foot control for easy and precise change of speed and direction
Internal wet-disk brakes for long life and consistent operation
Brake interlock system that returns the foot control pedals to neutral during panic stops
Replaceable oil filter for extra protection for tractors equipped with hydraulic lift and steering

Replaceable filter (X580, X584, X590)

When it's inconvenient to start the tractor, a freewheeling valve releases the transmission so the tractor can be pushed a short distance. The freewheeling valve control is conveniently located on the tractor’s rear hitch plate.

Traction assist (differential lock)

Traction assist control

Traction assist is standard equipment:

Traction assist supplies positive power to both drive wheels for increased traction.
Foot-operated traction assist control is convenient for the operator to use, when needed.

MulchControl™ system provides superior mulching performance and rapid conversion

Lever-action MulchControl lever (shown on 48A mower deck)

Electric one-touch MulchControl switch

The optional MulchControl system makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

Creates a beautiful looking lawn
Smaller grass clippings disappear into the lawn canopy
Reduces fertilizer needs
Grass clippings are not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
No need to dispose of bags of clippings

How MulchControl works

MulchControl baffle open (shown on Z300 48A mower deck)

MulchControl baffle closed (shown on Z300 48A mower deck)

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

The MulchControl system includes an adjustable MulchControl baffle near the discharge chute and fixed baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
The MulchControl handle, or an electric one-touch actuator, is on top of the mower deck and is used to open and close the MulchControl baffle.
When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.
When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to close the chute to control clippings in some areas
For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
For operators who collect clippings but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.

Electric one-touch MulchControl

Electric one-touch MulchControl systems shift the MulchControl baffle using an electric actuator that is operated by a dash-mounted switch.

Electric one-touch MulchControl switcht

Electric one-touch MulchControl actuator (shown on 54A mower deck)

Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it possible to change between modes:

When approaching driveways or flower beds where clippings would be undesirable
When a breeze blows clippings back onto the operator
For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too thick for mulching
With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, for collecting only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching

MulchControl limitations

While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches about one third of the material. Therefore, the side discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
When cutting in wet, high growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired
42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute

When bagging with MulchControl on a 48A or 54A mower deck, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower runs without material when the baffle is closed.

Rear baffle (A) must be removed for bagging with MulchControl with 42A mower decks

When bagging with MulchControl on a 42A mower deck, the cut-and-throw rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl blades. However, the rear MulchControl baffle (A) needs to be removed to install the bagger chute. The baffle is held in place with two carriage bolts. To return to mulching, the chute needs to be removed and the baffle replaced.

MulchControl compatibility

Each MulchControl system is an optional field-installed attachment and includes everything needed: baffles, mulch blades, a handle (lever action attachments) or an actuator, wiring, and switches (electric one-touch attachments).

Convenient maintenance is supported by trusted self-service resources

Example quick-response (QR) code label

John Deere riding lawn mowers are equipped with a QR code label that links to an owner support website. The label can be found on the rear fender, to the left of the seat.

Upper portion of owner support web page

Lower portion of owner support web page

The owner support website is formatted for smart phones and available without setting up an account and password. The QR code includes the mower’s serial number, enabling the owner support website to provide a maintenance schedule, service parts, attachments, how-to guide, videos, warranty information, and an operator’s manual for the specific mower.

The owner support website also allows users to purchase service parts, schedule dealer service, purchase extended warranties, and download the Equipment Mobile app. The Equipment Mobile app enables users to maintain a shared digital service record with their dealer.

Serviceability is convenient with an easy-open hood

One-piece hood is easy to open

Service interval decal located under hood

Exact Adjust ports and deck-leveling tools make precise deck adjustments easy

Deck-leveling gauge and hex adjusting tool stored under tractor seat (X570)

Exact Adjust access holes

A mower deck must be level side-to-side and properly adjusted front-to-rear to give the best cutting performance. An included deck-leveling gauge and a hex-key tool are provided to make adjustment easy. On the X570 model they are securely stored under the tractor seat.

Exact Adjust leveling ports are provided on each side of the operator platform above the mower-level adjusting bolts. With the hex-shaped tool, they provide convenient access to allow quick and easy adjustment of the mower for the best-cut quality of cut.

The Exact Adjust feature is standard on all Select Series™ X300 and X500 Tractors:

There is no need to reach under the fender deck while making the mower-level adjustment.
Included deck-leveling gauge, Exact Adjust ports, and the hex tool work together.
- Level the mower deck side to side
- Set the correct amount of rake (front-to-back deck orientation)
- Calibrate the cutting height to the cut-height adjusting knob setting
Exact Adjust simplifies leveling the mower deck if equipped with a Power Flow™ blower.
- To give the best cut, mower level should be adjusted if alternately mowing with and without blower installed. The Exact Adjust feature makes this easy.

Deck-leveling tool placed under deck

Using included ball-hex tool to level mower deck

Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:

Park the tractor on a level surface.
Inflate tires to the correct pressure.
Consult the label for the cutting-height knob that is located on the console of the machine. This label shows deck-leveling position and location of deck-leveling adjustment points.

Cut height adjusting knob

Set mower cutting-height knob to the correct deck-leveling position.
Adjust mower wheels as necessary so they do not contact the ground surface.
Using the Exact Adjust ports and tool, adjust mower deck side-to-side level so the deck-leveling gauge just slips under the left and right lower deck rim at the designated adjustment points. The location of adjustment points will vary slightly between decks.
- Left- and right-rear adjustment points are under the deck rim near the rear mower wheels, if equipped.
Adjust mower deck front-to-back level, if necessary.
- Loosen rear nuts equally on each side of front lift rod.
- Turn front nut equally on each side clockwise to raise front of mower or counterclockwise to lower it until gauge just slips under the front adjustment point.
- Tighten rear nuts after adjustment is complete.

NOTE: The adjusting tool supplied with the tractor is an 8-mm ball-hex key, part number M162737. The rounded end allows for some misalignment with the bolt as the deck is adjusted.

A smart connector links the mower to the Equipment Mobile App and transmits vehicle information via Bluetooth® wireless technology to provide:

Engine hours, that enable maintenance reminders
Key switch status and battery level to warn if the battery is low
Fuel level - even when away from the mower, the app remembers the fuel level so you can make sure the mower is fueled when it is time to mow

Optional BUC11960 smart connector is for use with:

S120, S130, S160, S170, and S180 Tractors
Model year 2021 and newer S240 Tractors (serial number 880,001-)
Z515E, Z530M, Z530R, Z545R, Z550R, Z560R, and Z565R ZTrak™ Mowers

Optional BUC11959 smart connector is for use with:

Model year 2016 and newer Select Series X300 and X500 Tractors

Hours, fuel level, key switch status, and battery level are updated whenever the mower’s key is turned on and the Equipment Mobile device is in range of a mower with a BUC11959 smart connector. The X350R Tractor does not report exact fuel level, it only indicates if the mower is low on fuel.

The Z370R, Z370RS, and Z380R Electric ZTrak Mowers include the smart connector in base equipment.

On Electric ZTrak Mowers the battery level, charging status, and hours are transmitted when the Equipment Mobile device is in range of the mower, and the mower is on or actively charging. Equipment Mobile can also update an Electric ZTrak Mower’s controller software.

A smart connector requires the Equipment Mobile App. The John Deere Equipment Mobile App can be found in the mobile device’s app store.
