Deep deck design
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, except a Z740R equipped with Tweel tires is not compatible with a material collection system.
- Deck leveling and rake angle adjustment is provided at all four mower mounting points.
Reinforced leading edge
Steel reinforcing bars are welded to the front edge and trim side of the mower deck:
- Strengthens the deck to reduce chance of damage from obstructions
- Increased material thickness for longer life of the deck
Superior durability is designed in
The deck has deep, strong spindle pockets to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough operation:
- Ribs formed in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.
- The aluminum spindle housing has 8-in. (20-cm) base for extra strength.
Flip-up spindle covers make cleaning the spindle area convenient.
Wheels and rollers
Dual-captured front and side anti-scalp wheels:
- Give a more even mowing job and reduce the chance of scalping
- Adjustable for different mowing heights
Step weldment
A permanent step weldment is located at the left front corner of the mower deck:
- Encourages proper entry to the operator station
- Provides a good gripping surface for the operator’s foot
Optional MulchControl™ attachment
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 use
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
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 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.
- The attachment also includes mulching blades.
MulchControl handle is used to control baffle
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.
- MulchControl is well suited to the following mowing situations:
- Operators who usually mulch, but side-discharge when grass gets too long
- Operators who usually side discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
- Operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
- Operators who 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.
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 is a field-installed attachment and compatible with the 48-in. (122-cm), 54-in. (137-cm), and 60-in. (152-cm) HC PRO Mower Decks available for the Z700 Series ZTrak Mowers.
Optional 6.5-bu (229-L) ZTrak Z700 Series MCS
The 6.5-bu (230-L) rear bagger efficiently collects material from a 48-, 54-, or 60-in. (122-, 137-, or 152-cm) Mower Deck:
- Hopper, attachment bar/bumper, Power Flow™ blower, and chute components are ordered separately to make a complete MCS.
- A weight bracket and four 18-lb (8.2-kg) weights are included for installation on the front of the vehicle to help counterbalance the weight of the hopper. For proper ballast with complete MCS:
- Four weights are required on a ZTrak Z700 Series equipped with a 48-in. (122-cm) Mower Deck.
- Three weights are required on a ZTrak Z700 Series equipped with a 54-in. (137-cm) Mower Deck.
- Two weights are required on a ZTrak Z700 Series equipped with a 60-in. (152-cm) Mower Deck.
The hopper design provides efficient bagging performance, clean operation, and easy-to-empty bags:
- Two durable bags give a generous, 6.5-bu (230-L) capacity.
- The bags lift out for easy emptying.
- An 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.
- The 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 hopper, Power Flow blower, chute, and attachment bar are required and ordered separately.

Accessories and Attachments
Carts
Every owner of a John 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 including firewood, lawn debris, sand, dirt, mulch, garden tools, plants, and bushes.
Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.
NOTE: For proper braking and operation, the loaded weight of the cart should never exceed the weight of the tractor, or other towing unit, plus the operator. The loaded weight of any equipment towed by an EZtrak™ or ZTrak™ mower should not exceed 250 lb (113.4 kg). See the appropriate vehicle pages for the weight of the vehicle and the mower deck.
- The cart has a premium molded, high-density polyethylene box construction.
- Compression molding process allows polyethylene to be the optimum thickness in all areas for superior strength and durability.
- Polyethylene body will not rust or dent; it stays looking new longer.
- 0.75-in. (2-cm) x 2-in. (5-cm) stake pockets are molded in to make the addition of side extensions easy.
- Two vertical 0.75-in. (2-cm) molded channels on each side allow easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
- Ribs in the box bottom add strength and prevent the shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
- Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
- Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
- Pneumatic tires provide turf tread for good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.
Wheels
Wheels are mounted on a solid, one-piece axle for durability.
Iron and Oilite® wheel bearings with grease fittings provide lubrication for long life.
The pneumatic tires offer the following:
- Good flotation
- Minimal rolling resistance
- Shock absorption
Sloped tailgate
A sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
Tractor hitch
A large-diameter hitch pin provides plenty of strength:
- Fast, easy attachment to the tractor hitch
- Spring pin to ensure the pin stays in place
Tilt latch
An easy-to-use, spring-loaded dump latch allows tilting the box for easier unloading. A steep dump angle makes emptying the cart easier.

Mcs Chutes
The Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the two-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. A bungee cord holds the chute securely to the Power Flow blower. It permits quick installation and removal of the chute.
Mcs Hoppers
The attachment bar, required for MCS installation, bolts to the ZTrak mower frame to support the hopper.
NOTE: When installing on M and R Series machines, remove the rear hitch from the engine shroud and re-install the hitch onto the attachment bar/bumper.
Ballast bracket and weights are included with the hopper attachment.
Four weights are included. For proper ballast with a complete material collection system, the number of weights required to be installed on the machine depends on the mower deck size as follows:
- 48-in. (122-cm) mower deck requires four weights
- 54-in. (137-cm) mower deck requires three weights
- 60-in. (152-cm) mower deck requires two weights
The appropriate Power Flow™ blower, chute, and attachment bar/bumper are sold separately and are required for installation of a complete material collection system.
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 four 18-lb (8.2-kg) weights are included for installation on the front of the vehicle to help counterbalance the weight of the 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).
Mcs Power Flow Blowers
The Power Flow blower can be used with the ZTrak Z700 Series. It, along with the hopper and chute, will provide 6.5-bu (229-L) material collection system capability, giving added versatility and value.
The Power Flow blower is mounted on a sturdy swing arm that allows easy installation and cleanout.

Miscellaneous
This light kit signals that the unit is approaching. The light is positioned near the top of the ROPS with a breakaway bracket; this ensures that, if struck, the light will not break but will move out of the way.
NOTE: Compatible with ZTrak™ Z700 E and M Series machines only.
Designed to carry smaller hand tools and similar items (20 lb weight limit):
- Not compatible with a complete material collection system
- Not compatible with the toolbox kit
Foot pegs are standard equipment on the ZTrak™ Z740R Mower and optional field installed kits on E and M Series. They provide the operator with more foot-placement options:
- Mounting holes are pre-drilled in the foot platform for installation.
- They can be adjusted into two different positions, horizontal and at an angle, providing more variability for foot placement during operation.
- The foot pegs also act as handles to remove and reposition the foot platform.
The jack allows easy access to the underside of the mower for maintenance or blade changing while in the field. The kit contains everything necessary to install the jack onto the front of a mower.
Holes in the vehicle frame cross member are pre-drilled for ease of installation:
- The jack makes servicing the underside of the mower deck safer and easier.
- Placed in the storage position, the jack can be carried on the machine, available for use.
- The jack will need to be removed when using front ballast that is required for a rear material collection system, so it is not compatible with a material collection system.
The front light kit provides the ability to mow at twilight, increasing productivity hours. LED bulbs provide superior lighting. Mounting brackets are adjustable for aiming the light beam.
Includes instructions, two lights, and mounting hardware.
Compatible with all Z700 ZTrak™ Mowers.
The main bracket fits snugly over the right side fender and the secondary bracket mounts to the caster arm on the discharge side of the machine. Rubber straps are provided to secure the trimmer in place. Not compatible with a complete material collection system.

- Mounts to side of rear engine shroud
- Not compatible with a material collection system (MCS).
Mulch Kits
MulchControl advantages and benefits
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 use
- Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
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.
- 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 of 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
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.
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
