Just ordered a 530r w/ 60” High Capacity - can’t wait to try it! I’m holding off mowing with my old clunker until it gets here!

Thanks for the incredibly detailed video, huge help in making a decision in the sea of options!

I need help deciding between 2 used JD zero turn mowers. Which would you choose if you had to decide between a 2019 Z540R (with Kawasaki engine) with 100 hours or the 2023 Z325E (Briggs & Stratton engine) with 40 hrs? This is for home use only. 540 a little more but almost same price

I recently bought a new ZTRACK X345R, and couldn't be happier. The only thing that I didn't like was, the oil filter location, where the oil always spills on the deck, when the filter is removed. So, I modified the filter system with a Briggs (594271) Remote Oil Filter Adapter. I relocated the filter over the back of the deck, and beside the muffler cover. The adapter location now alleviates messes. I also did some research and found that a larger Motorcraft FL-400S filter is a suitable substitute. With the filter change, the engine oil system holds an additional 6oz of oil, and has a much larger filtering capacity. Absolutely no problems have been incurred with this modification.

Your a better salesperson than the dealerships have by far. I stopped at my local JD for parts and spoke with a girl, .. she just pointed and said that’s all we have, . I returned and spoke with a fellow that did a search and found 1 model nearby that I wanted ( the only one in the state) I agreed to pay retail and the 36 month at 0 % was a bargain. I called the next day and he hadn’t even submitted the financial information. I would be just as happy with a Ferris and called them, .. they didn’t return the call either . Waz up ? I need a mower !

I bought the z530r and so completely happy with it. My first zero turn and still getting used to it compared to my old tractor. Mows really nice with the optional dealer installed mulch kit. You do a great job on these videos and helped in y decision process. I’d love to have one of your dealer hoodies if you’ll send me one I’ll gladly pay for it?

Purchased a Z375r and I'm happy with my purchase. I have been mowing 1.5 acres and haven't had any issues for a few months. Bought it from Lowe's out the door $3, 100 bc the back motor shroud had a couple scratches... I took it off sanded and painted it 🤷🏻‍♂️. If you get the 375 you do get a Briggs 25 hp!!

I've started shopping for a new one and even though this is 2 years old, this was very helpful as I was looking to compare the 300 vs 500 series. Thanks.

I purchased the Zz545R.
The first cut was last week. I am very pleased so far!

[yuvegotmale]

Ordered the Z515E....then got buyers remorse but I will get over it. I have a Toro 50inch time cutter now that's getting older. Will be interesting to see which one is better.

This video helped me learn my new. Machine better after own the 355R I decided to trade it on for a z530R this video helped me check out my new machine as the guy at John Deere assumed since I can drive a 2019 mod that I automatically know everything about 2022 model WRONG. NO MATTER HOW EXPERIENCE THEY SEEM ALWAYS SHOW THEM THEIR NEW MACHINE! Great video helped me learn more about something i should of already learned at the dealership!

[karlschwab]

What great information! I wish my dealership was half as good! Thank you so much.

[RichardGasmann]

This guy covers it all ..and tells you what every thing does..thumbs up

Brent thanks for all the information. Just picked up our 2022 Z545R with bagger system, to cut our 2 acres of land and it's been raining since! 🤣
So we have not had a chance to use it yet. I'm excited to see it perform. Keep on making these videos, their fantastic!

[gailjohnson]

Excellent review and video. I'm on my second Z540M 48" deck both Kawaski engines. Traded at 2 years on the first Z540M. Love them both. The last one is 4 years old. With about 237hrs. Does JD still make that one? Thank you. Blessings to you.

[aubriewillis]

Great video. I just purchased the Z365R, great mower but I was disappointed to find out that you can’t add a rear bagger to it. Is there another option to collect the clippings?

[kangaroorun]

What's the smallest reliable Z series from JD that I could buy? I am thinking of changing my old LA115, but should able to get in my shed like it use to my 42" width.

[JVazquez-ex]

Very informative videos ..I have a z355e zero turn, my question is can you run non-ethanol fuel ?

[manueljr.delafuente]

What fuel do you recommend. Whether it be regular, plus or supreme

[pyromanwedd]

I thought I would ask there are a lot of after market canopy’s to fit the z500 series . Can you recommend a website for one ? Or if one of your customers have bought one?

[vincentvanpaepeghem]

Great video Brent! The Z series is still my favorite! Lots of great information! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!
