The John Deere Z345M is a residential gas zero-turn mower with a 42-inch stamped deck and a 22 hp V-twin John Deere branded engine. It is intended for yards of 1/2 to 2 acres, and for flat terrain with obstacles. The deck is 12-gauge steel and has two blades with side discharge.
Dual EZT hydrostatic transmissions and 18-inch rear drive tires give mowing speeds up to 7 mph. The ReadyStart system provides choke-free starts. The frame is formed and welded steel. The foot platform flips up for access to the top of the deck for maintenance and cleaning.
The seat has an 18-inch back and can be adjusted while you sit in it. The motion control levers have multiple positions. On-the-go tracking adjustment lets you correct the levers from the seat when they are out of alignment.
