Whether mowing with a side-discharge deck, a rear-discharge deck, or with a mulching deck, the 997 excels in the toughest mowing conditions. In short, the heavy-duty, large-capacity 997 gives you front-mower like power in a zero-turn mower while providing the productivity and dependability you value.
JOHN DEERE Z997R DIESEL ZERO TURN MOWER
Power is in ample supply, thanks to a 23.1 kW (31- hp) Yanmar® diesel engine. This engine provides more displacement and peak torque than most competitive mowers, which allows you to maximise hectares mowed per hour. Shaft-driven mower decks are available in 152 cm (60-in.) or 183 cm (72-in.) 7-Iron™ II side-discharge decks or a 152 cm (60-in.) rear discharge deck.
