Compact design with a strong, welded frame for superior durability
From the operator's station to the mower deck, John Deere walk-behind mowers have a compact and functional design:
Caster wheels are set in as close to the mower as possible.
Shortest overall machine length to maximize maneuverability and minimize space needed on a trailer
The compact design of John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers allows access to operate in tight areas where larger ride-on machines cannot fit. Often, this means the area can be mowed with a walk-behind mower so it is not necessary to switch to another mower, which helps reduce the time on site.
With the compact design of John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers, less space is required on a truck or trailer, possibly freeing up space for an extra mower, resulting in less time on property, saving both time and money.
Whether mowing hills or on level terrain, trimming, or mowing straight-away, the operator of a John Deere commercial walk-behind mower is able to control the machine:
The compact design makes the machine easier to maneuver.
Caster wheels are set close to the blades for most effective ground following capability.
Compact design takes less space for mowing tighter areas.
