John Deere introduced the new diesel Z994R Commercial ZTrak zero-turn mower.

“Our customers wanted more options when it came to diesel ZTRs, so we expanded our line-up of diesel mowers to better meet their needs,” said Natalie Haller, product manager, John Deere. “The Z994R Diesel ZTrak mower offers a powerful diesel engine and maximizes comfort, allowing operators to be more productive throughout long work days.”

The Z994R is powered by a three-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with gross 24.7-hp rated power at 3200 rpm that meets Final Tier 4 emission standards. The high-torque, low-emission diesel engine provides power for tough conditions with low vibration and noise levels, the company said. It’s also equipped with a single 11.5-gallon diesel fuel and easy-to-read fuel gauge.

The machine features three available seat options, each with adjustable armrests. All seat options also feature ComfortGlide fore/aft suspension that provides up to 2-inches of fore-and-aft travel to absorb bumps. In addition, a large open operator station and foot platform with plenty of legroom allow for multiple foot positions.

The Z994R Diesel ZTrak comes in three deck options: the 54-inch and 60-inch 7-Iron PRO side-discharge mower deck, and the 60-inch 7-Iron PRO Mulch On Demand mower deck.

The mower is also available with the Michelin Tweel X Turf airless radial tires.
