Wow that side discharge is amazingly far. Beast of a machine. Love John Deere.

Those Z9’s w/the 7-iron pro decks speak for themselves. That was some seriously impressive performance in conditions most folks would need to use a brush hog in.

Great yard equipment, love this

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzread.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_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.

By the way that mower is shooting the grass out, I bet it has high-lift blades. I have a John Deere Z925A with a 27 HP Kawasaki and it cuts very well with high lift blades and does aright with gator blades. The gator blades work only slightly better but not as good as I would have hoped in thicker grass. The high lift blades definetly shoot the grass much further and does well for blowing leaves into a pile. But the gator blades will shred them pretty well with the chute cover closed. The high lift blades do cut a bit better. I wanted to try other types of mulching blades to see if they work better on the 7-Iron Pro decks.

JD uses stamped decks but are much heavier gauge than the other brands. The fabricated decks have sharp 90 degree angles which accumulate more grass buildup and degrade cutting performance. These heavier stamped decks are every bit as good as a fabed deck from other makers.
