Our take on the John Deere Z345M 42" 22HP Gas Zero-Turn Mower

The John Deere Z345M is a residential zero-turn mower with a 42-inch Accel Deep deck and a 22 HP V-twin John Deere engine. It uses dual EZT transmissions and 18-inch drive tires to reach mowing speeds up to 7 MPH, and its welded steel frame and flip-up foot platform are built for durability and easy deck access. It suits homeowners with roughly an acre or more of open lawn who want fast mowing and a tight turning radius. Against entry-level zero-turns from other brands, it stands out for the branded engine, the deep deck's mulching and higher-speed cut quality, and John Deere's dealer support; it gives up ground clearance and engine size to larger ZTrak models.

About the John Deere Z345M 42" 22HP Gas Zero-Turn Mower

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.

Questions and answers

Is the Z345M good for a homeowner with about an acre?
Yes. Its 42-inch deck and 7 MPH top speed make quick work of an acre or two of open lawn, and the zero-turn radius cuts trimming time around obstacles.
Does it mulch, and do I need extra parts?
The Accel Deep deck is designed for improved mulching, but check that the mower includes a mulch kit; a bagger is sold separately.
How does it compare with the Z335M?
The Z345M steps up to a 22 HP engine and the 42-inch Accel Deep deck, while the Z335M uses a smaller engine and a different deck. The Z345M is the faster, higher-capacity choice.
What maintenance does it need?
Routine oil and filter changes, blade sharpening, deck cleaning and greasing. The flip-up foot platform gives access to the top of the deck for cleaning.
Can I bag clippings with it?
Yes, with the optional BG20755 bagger, which is not included.
Is it suitable for commercial use?
No. The EZT transmissions and overall build are aimed at residential use, not daily commercial mowing.
