The Fastest Mowing Setup?
In this video, I'll take a look at what is perhaps one of the fastest mowing setups: A John Deere Z950M with a Swisher trailmower. With the ability to mow 10 ft. in one pass, combined with the maneuverability of a zero turn, it certainly can get jobs done quickly. I'll also briefly discuss the difference between John Deere green and yellow decks.
This is also the first time I've used drone footage in a video. If you like it, let me know in the comments and I'll be sure to include more in future videos.

Conquering Mother Nature with a John Deere 970
Nice video but just not complete. John Deere has made some great lawn tractors. I’ve had a 345 since the late 90’s. Any tractor with the Kawasaki liquid cooled engines are very capable and dependable. I have many hours on mine. It pushes snow well with chains and 4 suitcase weights on the back along with wheel weights. I can even push uphill. I’d like to have the x595 though or the x758 both of which are diesels and awd. But that 345 just won’t quit. lol. I could use a new deck but they don’t make em anymore. My yard is 1.5 acres and is hilly so awd would be nice for me. Cheers.
가격 얼마인가요?
I think he's underestimating the ability of the 2WD tractors. I have an old 260 (~650 lbs.) that I use to plow snow. It has chains and four suitcase weights on the back and nothing stops it! Something like an X720 or X730 weighs in at four hundred pounds more and has differential lock ability. Deere says it can pull 1k and the 4WD only two hundred pounds more but I'll bet loaded right they're pretty close. What people don't realize is that more hydraulics mean less hp to the wheels. A 738 or 739 has less wheel hp than a 720 or 730 so if you can get the weight distribution right there's not much you can't do with a 2WD garden tractor. Think about all the great 2WD tractors from JD's past and how much real work they did like the 445 which weighs less than the 730. I consider an X730 a better 445 and a real steal used that many people overlook.
Yanmar did make a gas 3 cylinder that was used in the JD 322.
ok so when using a zero turn don't zero turn got it
How does this 14 year old know what's best?
So the rear PTO shaft is running, what is the TKV20 using it for? Also, I assume the 20 refers to 20 cu ft of material collection?
Ok, so the TKV 20 draws the material in, and doesn’t use a blower at the deck to push the material towards the TKV 20, like the Deere Powerflow operates.
If you tow with your Swisher mower to the left, like you are doing this is actually the correct way the red mower was made to be used because it's got wheels on the left side. If you get up against a building or a fence, it will not get stuck up against a fence/. But if you went with the mower to your right, it would cut up your clippings from your 0 term mower and kick it out to the right side for your next cut/. To mulch the grass better
Better traction tractors.zero turns are a prick to get in and out of/eg arthritic/hip probs.sit on it not in it.
Why didn't you roll it when pushing backwards
x700 series is the most overpriced "garden" machine out there

I am sorry but people mow different ways ,i mow in circles not back an forth like you and i don't mow around trees i mow like n s e w like in a square if you get drift .,but for my yard i rather have a riding mower .
Buy an old f935 front mount and you will have a great mower
Commercial zero turn and you’re done in 5 minutes 😂
Zero baby
Can't imagine having a finish mower that mows a 10' swath. A field would be done in half an hour
Buy the Zero Turn if you have any amount of property over an hours service. You will never turn back.
Thanks for the info 😊
I have a bucket that opens and closes and I've been grabbing, and pull them up, but it's been much harder than i expected to get the bush in the buckets mouth.
A big one on a hot day with a Z Turn is the engine is behind you. Much cooler.
I don’t need that x730 but damn it I want one.
Something happened understand “A jack of all trades is a master of none.” You have to know this when buying lawn equipment.
Kubota for me
I narrow the mow time gap on a tractor by using a circular route. Always keep mowing and disable the reverse switch so you're mowing in reverse. If you want straight lines and stripes then it's a no go on this technique.
Residential mowing......time in seconds has not bearing! I traded in my Farris zero for the X590 and have no regrets. I love the power steering and power lift......very important when you're over 75.
Thanks for helping! I got a lot of info. Just need to pick 1.
The best solution is two machines, a ZT for mowing and a compact tractor for everything else. If you’re only buying one machine the lawn tractor is more versatile.
I’m getting a zero turn
I had a Kioti zero turn and found the absolute biggest con (at least with my yard), the concentrated weight over the drive tires, it’d sink in the ground and easily get stuck. Spring time where I live, it never dries out, and had to get rid of it as a result. Kind of a bummer. The riding mower seems to leave nicer mowing lines, at least compared to my ZT.
Which one is faster in low gear? Also which one goes up hills better in high gear?
In terms of the riding tractor if it has locking rear axle and four wheel steer or if you wanna get crazy, get the model with all that and four-wheel-drive And I wouldn’t buy a zero turn without having at least 10 inch wide rear tires
It’s called popping the hood
I have the roughest yard known to mankind. Not going to fix it ever, not that important to me. Wish they would've talked about comfort, after using my parents kubota commercial mower, I can never go back to an original seat. Can anyone tell me if the tractor mower seats are better? More comfortable ride?
Do you have a link to that collector?
How long did it take you to mow the 8 acres?
What about the x739 aws awd . Or a aws vs a zero turn
That’s a perfect lawn for a robot mower now.
Pretty much a waste of time…sorry. I have a cyclone rig ( Commander) that has it’s own 8hp motor and hitches to my quick hitch and have had it for 20 yrs and two tractors. Besides being much less expensive and easier to mount it holds30 to 40 bushels of leaves/grass. Takes up much less room for winter storage and is American made. Showing one “dump” for doing that huge lawn is disingenuous as well as not demonstrating turning radius ( challenge when doing more intricate lawns), ease or difficulty mounting and dismounting, and not mentioning that you have added front end counter weights ( cost ?). Yes, it’s another motor to take care of but I have just changed the oil and air filter yearly and it starts ( stored inside) on first pull every time. You need to talk about the challenge of reaching in to connect the PTO as well…( one will soon want to buy an expensive “quick” PTO assist unit $$). ck it. out !
or you like to drink a beverage while you mow go with the tractor.. Thats why i never learned to fly a helicopter it took both hands and both feet all the time, you couldn't even smoke a cigarette
Could you make the music louder?
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

I really didn't know the zeroturns are cheaper?
It really depends on the model. In the case of the tractor and zero turn in this video, the tractor is more expensive. Commercial zero turns will start to get expensive.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Great action filming and content of the Gannon Box. I remember seeing the same form on massive road equipment in the 70's. Now 50 years later having a small tractor and Tarter Box Blade 60" w/scarifiers I find it to be a art to utilize all the different features it's capable of. I have heard 'Gannon Box" or "Rollover Box" used but never could visualize until this video. Thanks, it's almost like a time piece in History. One more term used is the 'Fresno Box'. They all have some interesting History.
I was looking at the new 2023 x590 The new one doesn’t have those levers for hydraulic It has hydraulic but it’s just a single lever Wish it had those levers still
Great video, simple. Thanks
What about maintance? Are the belts any more difficult to change on a zero turn?
The best ever was a 300 and 400 series 40 years and going strong
