2021 JOHN DEERE Z930R 60" Deck

Built in the U.S.A. and designed for longevity, this Z930R is a commercial-grade mower that makes every acre look like a showpiece.

Powerful Kawasaki FX801V Engine

At the heart of this machine is the Kawasaki FX801V, a 25.5 HP, 852 cc V-twin engine built for commercial use. Known for its unmatched reliability and torque, this motor powers through tall, thick, or wet grass with ease while maintaining consistent blade speed.

Key features include:

1. 852 cc displacement with V-twin OHV design for smooth, efficient operation
2. Pressurized lubrication system and dual-element canister air filter for maximum protection
3. Heavy-duty construction with cast-iron cylinder liners and ball-bearing supported crankshaft
4. Assembled in the U.S.A. (FX801V-ES11-R, Serial FX801UC10958)

This engine runs cool and quiet under load, offering long life and low maintenance costs. It’s one of the most trusted powerplants in the commercial mowing world, perfectly matched to Deere’s professional ZTrak chassis.

7-Iron Pro 60” Mower Deck – Legendary Cut Quality

John Deere’s 7-Iron Pro 60-inch deck is the benchmark for heavy-duty mowing performance. Formed from a single piece of 7-gauge steel (about 5.5 mm thick), the deck resists bending, cracking, and wear far better than welded or fabricated decks.

The deep 7-Iron shell design creates optimal airflow, lifting grass evenly for a clean, professional-grade cut every time. Three high-lift blades and a wide discharge chute provide excellent clipping dispersion even in tough conditions.

Additional highlights:

1. Stamped one-piece deck for maximum rigidity
2. Reinforced front leading edge for impact resistance
3. Quick, tool-free spindle covers for easy cleaning
4. Foot-operated height lift system with dial adjustment (1.5–5.5” in ¼” increments)

Whether you’re cutting fescue, bluegrass, or thick zoysia, the 7-Iron Pro deck ensures consistent, clean results and exceptional durability year after year.

Hydrostatic Drive System & Maneuverability

The Z930R features dual commercial-grade Hydro-Gear transmissions, delivering independent drive power to each rear wheel. This hydrostatic setup ensures smooth, responsive control and precision maneuvering—perfect for trimming around trees, fences, and landscaping.

With true zero-turn capability, the Z930R pivots 180 degrees on its axis, saving time and leaving no uncut grass. The control levers provide fingertip modulation of speed and direction for effortless operation.

Performance specs:

1. Ground speed: Up to 10 mph forward / 5 mph reverse
2. Dual hydrostatic transmission with integrated wheel motors
3. Large drive tires for traction and stability on slopes
4. Hydraulic dampers for smooth lever response and reduced fatigue

This drivetrain system is built to handle daily commercial workloads while maintaining a light footprint on turf.

Operator Comfort & Controls

John Deere’s R-Series mowers set the standard for comfort—and the Z930R leads the pack. The deluxe suspension seat with isolation mounts minimizes vibration and supports long hours of mowing. Adjustable armrests, padded grips, and wide foot space all contribute to fatigue-free operation.

Ergonomic layout highlights include:

1. Electronic deck lift for easy, precise cutting height adjustments
2. Digital hour meter and fuel gauge for quick reference
3. Comfort & Convenience package with ergonomic control placement
4. Foldable ROPS (Roll-Over Protection System) for added safety and easy trailer loading

Every control is within reach, clearly labeled, and engineered to work smoothly. The Z930R feels as refined as it is rugged.

Serviceability and Durability

Ease of maintenance is a major design focus on the Z930R. The seat tilts forward for quick access to belts and hydraulic components, while the engine area is open and service points are clearly marked.

Durability is built into every major system:

1. Heavy-duty tubular steel frame for maximum structural strength
2. Sealed spindles and bearings reduce downtime and maintenance
3. Powder-coated surfaces resist corrosion and fading
4. Easy-access air filter, oil filter, and drain points simplify regular service

These features ensure your mower stays in top condition through years of heavy use. It’s built not just to perform—but to last.

Ideal Applications

The Z930R’s performance and features make it ideal for:

1. Commercial landscape contractors maintaining residential and commercial properties
2. Large acreage owners who want professional results and faster mowing times
3. Parks, schools, and municipal grounds crews responsible for athletic fields and public spaces
4. Farmers or estate owners needing a reliable, high-output mower for everyday property maintenance
