The refreshed lineup includes both M- and R-Series models, including the Z720M, Z740M, Z740R and Z760R machines. Further strengthening its commercial mowing portfolio, the John Deere Z700 ZTrak™ Mowers are built to meet the needs of customers maintaining large properties, as well as value-oriented professional landscape contractors, with the ideal balance of productivity, durability and operator comfort features.

"Our Z700 lineup brings together many of the features our professional landscaping customers value most while also maintaining their simplicity and reliability, which operators have come to expect from a John Deere machine," said Luke Gribble, marketing manager, John Deere. "As our customers' needs continue to evolve, we're focused on offering solutions across our commercial mowing portfolio that help them get the job done. The refreshed Z700 lineup delivers the combination of capability, durability and value our customers have been asking for in a mid-duty mower."

Built around the proven Z700 platform, the refreshed lineup incorporates key features found across John Deere commercial mowing equipment, bringing proven performance to a more value oriented, mid-duty machine. This includes the commercial-grade 7-Iron™ PRO mower deck across all models; a proven deck design also featured on the Z900 lineup. Designed with a 7-gauge deck shell, reinforced trim edge and discharge chute, durable cast aluminum spindle design and improved anti-scalp wheel placement, the deck is engineered to deliver exceptional cut quality while standing up to the demands of daily commercial mowing jobsites.

Further enhancing commercial-grade performance, the Z700 lineup features Kawasaki FX engines paired with upgraded Hydro-Gear transmissions designed to deliver increased ground speeds and productivity on the job. M-Series models reach speeds up to 9.5 mph, while R-Series models reach up to 10pmh, helping operators cover more ground efficiently across demanding mowing applications.

The updated lineup has been thoughtfully positioned to better serve distinct customer needs. The M-Series machines continue to deliver optimal performance for large property owners seeking rugged equipment and ease of ownership, while the R-Series mowers are ideal for professional landscape contractors looking for commercial-grade capability at a more accessible entry point. To further support those customers, R-Series models now feature expanded warranty coverage of four years or 1,200 hours, reinforcing the commitment by John Deere to offer long-term durability and customer confidence.
