Not Z900 related, but I just got a Z735m. My first zero turn mower. Compared against bobcat, Scag, and hustler models in the same price range. The JD has a noticeable better build. Very happy with it. Probably overkill for my 3ish acres but I didn’t want to second guess my purchase.
Nice! So I am guessing you are making this comparison after an extensive amount of research? It is refreshing to hear from someone that actually knows what they are looking for in build quality.
You guys need to update your fuel consumption numbers for your commercial mowers. On my 960m with the fx921 31 hp kawi it uses at minimum 1.8 gallons per hour and averages around 2 gallons per hour. I’ve even used up to 2.5 gallons per hour in bad conditions. I guarantee that the fx1000 35 hp kawi uses around 2 gallons per hour. I would do a video testing the fuel consumption instead of using those false numbers that John deere gives.
Good video. A deck that size on some of these Orlando yards. Would be like two or three passes and done. Would probably opt for the 60 inch deck. But my local John Deere dealer. Doesn’t have mower inventory any more. Since John Deere sent the mower inventory to the farm stores. Nearest one 25 miles. Way to far.
I wish that John Deere offered a batwing deck - three sections that can “float” independently to better follow the contour of the land to minimize scalping.
You keep missing the most important point about the trans axles. Is there a drain bolt to completely change the axle oil❓is there a trans axle oil filter ❓❓
Most comprehensive review on UA-cam. Love the camera perspective.

Thanks for a great review. I have a 2019 970r and I love it. Do these mowers come standard with a striper? Or is that an additional option?
Id love to see a fx1000 efi on one of these, definitely something deere is missing is that efi on the z9
You can’t beat it
any video specifically on the Z997R? recently
witch ones are better the Rs or Ms
What color are the mower decks on the x350? Do any of the tractor style mowers come with a green mower deck? Thanks for all the JD info you provide.
As of 2023 I think all the decks are painted green, as you go up the numbers 100, 200, 300, 500, 700 series the deck gets heavier and more durable.
@ImajiN hit it right on the head!

I like this idea! Thanks, I will look into this!

So you used to have mowers at a separate dealer in town and now they have moved out of town?

Could you possibly do a video on the z997r?
I have it on my list. I am just waiting on one to come in. Are you looking into buying one or do you have one?

Yes, I have actually done a video on our other channel 247Parts, showing how this is done!
Why isn't there a 945 or 955m anymore?
Id like to trade my z930m mower in on something else but i haven't had it very long
How is Deere not using EFI motors?
They are in some mowers and there are more options in the works. What mower do you have and what engine?

No steering wheel is a no go.
Oh really? Not a fan of the steering levers?
