Deep deck design
Deep, flat-top deck (front view)
Deep, flat-top deck (left front view)
The mower deck has a deep-deck design:
- Constructed from heavy, 9-gauge, 0.15-in. (3.8-mm) steel
- Minimizes the number of welds required
- Has a smooth underside for reduced material buildup
- Deep-deck design delivers excellent airflow so large volumes of material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
- A wider and higher discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
- A durable, plastic deflector spreads grass clippings evenly across the lawn, is hinged, and can be raised to minimize the storage space required.
- 1-in. (25.4-mm) cold-forged spindles are heat-treated for strength and are supported by ball bearings.
- Standard front rollers and two double-captured wheels provide a more even mowing job and reduce the chance of scalping.
- Adjustable for different mowing heights
- The front edge is raised above the blade plane to allow for even cutting of tall grass.
- Blade overlap is greater than many conventional decks for a clean cut.
- The mower can side-discharge, mulch, or collect material.
Mower level adjustment
Mower level adjusting points
- Deck leveling and rake angle adjustment is provided at all four mower mounting points.
Reinforced leading edge
Reinforced leading edge and trim side of mower deck

- Give a more even mowing job and reduce the chance of scalping
- Wheels are adjustable for different mowing heights
MulchControl limitations
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch 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 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
Optional MulchControl™ attachment
MulchControl with baffle closed (shown on similar X700 54-in. [137-cm] High-Capacity Mower Deck)
MulchControl with baffle open (shown on similar X700 54-in. [137-cm] High-Capacity Mower Deck)
The MulchControl attachment 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:
- A beautiful looking lawn
- Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- Less fertilizer required
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- Mulching blades to give a more complete mulching job are included.
- The left mower blade area is completely enclosed and optimized for mulching and will mulch even when the mower is in the side-discharge mode.
- Baffles around the center and right blades are optimized for mulching when the discharge baffle is closed.
- A MulchControl kit is not available for 48HC mower decks.
MulchControl operation
MulchControl handle (shown on similar Z700)
The optional MulchControl attachment comes with a handle on top of the mower deck that is used to open and close the discharge baffle:
- The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
- Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa with the hand lever takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- Usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side-discharge or bagging when needed.

Overview
Keep your John Deere equipment running its best with the John Deere Equipment Mobile App. Download the app from the mobile device’s app store, then add all your John Deere equipment by scanning the serial number bar codes. Once your equipment is added, you can access all your product’s model, serial number, and model year information in one place. The app also provides maintenance, parts, and support resources that are specific to your serial number(s).
Find the right parts the first time
Use Equipment Mobile to find the right parts
It is important to get the right parts the first time. When you load your equipment list, Equipment Mobile provides parts information specific to your serial number(s). This is helpful to you and your John Deere dealer, as some parts can vary by serial number range.
Plan, track, and coordinate maintenance with your dealer
Maintenance plan screen
Maintenance parts and notes screen
Equipment Mobile includes comprehensive maintenance plans for each piece of your equipment. The maintenance plan screen keeps track of completed tasks, provides a place for your notes, and provides parts listings. You can also share your maintenance plan with your dealership, enabling tasks completed by the dealer to be included.
Operator’s manual in the palm of your hands
A machine’s operator’s manual is a go-to resource that is available in Equipment Mobile. You can search, view, and download a copy. The operator’s manual is specific to the serial number(s) of your equipment.
Smart Connectors
Smart Connector
BUC10537 smart connector, wiring harness, and twist ties
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, and Z545R ZTrak™ Mowers
Hours, fuel level, key switch status, and battery level are updated whenever the Equipment Mobile device is in range of a mower with a BUC11960 smart connector.
Optional BUC10537 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 BUC10537 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.

MCS Chutes
Power Flow chute (6.5/7 bu) - 5650GXBM21681
Power Flow chute and blower
Hopper, chute, and blower
The Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the 2-bag Power Flow material collection system. The chute includes a convenient handle and a fill indicator that tells the operator when the bags are getting full.
One chute works with several vehicle applications. Trim lines on the chute are referenced in the instructions so the chute can be cut to the proper length for the vehicle/mower application.
MCS Hoppers
ZTrak Hopper - 48/54-in deck, 6.5 bushel - 5650GXBUC11059
ZTrak Z530R with 6.5-bu (229-L) rear bagger, chute, and blower
ZTrak Z530R with 6.5-bu (229-L) rear bagger, chute, and blower
The 6.5-bu (229-L) rear bagger efficiently collects material from the mower deck:
- A Power Flow™ blower (ordered separately) on the end of the mower deck moves material up the chute (ordered separately) and into the hopper.
- A weight bracket and two 42-lb (19-kg) weights are included for installation on the front of the vehicle to help counterbalance the weight of the hopper.
Removing bag from 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper
Removing bag from 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper
The hopper design provides efficient bagging performance, clean operation, and easy-to-empty bags:
-
Two durable bags give a generous, 6.5-bu (229-L) capacity.
-
The bags lift out for easy emptying.
-
Efficient chute provides a smooth flow of material to reduce the chance of plugging.
- The chute and Power Flow blower must be ordered separately.
-
Standard mower blades are used for bagging.
-
Air exhaust duct directs air from the hopper back and toward the ground for clean operation.
-
Convenient latch makes opening and closing the hopper easy.
NOTE: Appropriate Power Flow blower, chute, and attachment bar are required (ordered separately).
NOTE: The 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper is not compatible with 60-in. (152-cm) Mower Decks because its larger size and ability to fill the hopper more quickly reduces the usefulness of the bagging system.

10P Poly Utility Cart
Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart.
Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials:
- Firewood
- Lawn debris
- Sand
- Dirt
- Mulch
- Garden tools
- Plants and bushes
The 10P Utility Cart is designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment:
- 10-cu ft (283-L), heavy-duty, 0.25-in. (6.4-mm) thick poly bed
- Will not dent or rust
- 15x6 tubeless pneumatic tires with turf tread for maximum traction
- Easy, hands-free foot pedal dump release
- Steep dump angle for complete emptying
A convenient foot pedal dump release kit, LP48017, which now comes standard on all 10P and 17P carts is available to retrofit existing poly carts. This kit allows the operator to use both hands to lift the cart bed for more natural and efficient unloading.

Mulch Kits
54 HC Mulch Kit - 5650GXBUC11270
48 HC mulching attachment
These mulching attachments are designed for the high-capacity mower decks. This design requires no drilling for initial mounting, less installation time, and reduced hardware count for easy removal of the mulching components.
Steel baffles control material and close off the discharge area. Special mulching blades are included to optimize mulching performance. These blades can also be used for side-discharging or material collection (if a material collection system is available), though performance may be reduced in some conditions.
54-in. High Capacity MulchControl attachment - 5650GXBUC11271
MulchControl advantages and benefits
X730 Tractor mowing
ZTrak™ Z545R mowing
The MulchControl attachment for the 54-in. (137-cm) HC Mower Deck 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:
- A beautiful looking lawn
- Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
- Less fertilizer use
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl baffle open
MulchControl baffle closed
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
- The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
- The left mower blade area is completely enclosed and optimized for mulching, thus will mulch even when the mower is in the side-discharge mode.
- Baffles around the center and right blades are optimized for mulching when the discharge baffle is closed.
MulchControl baffle closed
MulchControl handle
- The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
- The operator is required to get off the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
- Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
- Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
- Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags
- The MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower will run without material when the baffle is closed.
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.
Hydraulic MulchControl actuator option (X700 Series Tractors)
For model year 2019 and newer 54 HC and 60 HC Mower Decks (serial number 070,001-), an extra-cost, optional X700 hydraulic MulchControl actuator attachment (BUC10536) is available to replace the standard hand-control lever to allow control of the MulchControl baffle from the seat using the tractor’s hydraulic control lever:
- The hydraulic MulchControl actuator is the control only and also requires a MulchControl attachment.
- It is operated with the tractor’s hydraulic control lever.
- The mower deck can be converted from wide-open side-discharge mode to fully chambered mulch mode.
- The hydraulic MulchControl attachment is field-installed.
MulchControl limitations
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch 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 clean-up is desired
Compatibility
MulchControl for 54-in. (137-cm) HC Mower Decks is a field-installed attachment and compatible with the following:
- Model year 2015 and newer X700 Signature Series Tractor 9074M or 9078M 54-in. (137-cm) HC Mower Deck (serial number 030,001-)
