Overview

The Z300 Electric ZTrak Mowers deliver the productivity and cut quality of a gas-powered Z300 ZTrak Mower. Many proven components, including the frame and Accel Deep™ Mower Decks, are shared with the gas-powered models.

Accel Deep Mower Decks mow well fast

Mower decks are 4.83 to 4.97-in. (12.3 to 12.6-cm) deep with a flat top and large discharge opening.

Cut and suspended material can exit the mower deck without getting recut:

• Improves mowing capacity
• Reduces power consumption to extend run time

Stamped-steel construction eliminates sharp edges and corners:

• Less material build-up
• Less turbulence and power consumption
• Industry leading cut-quality

Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level give a more even cut and reduce scalping.

Optional MulchControl™ enables you to mulch frequently:

• Deep mower-deck design allows for optimal recutting and even distribution of clippings
• Converts to side-discharge in seconds if the grass is too tall to mulch

Optional 6.5-bu (230-L) rear bagger with a 42-in. (107-cm) mower deck for collecting grass clippings and leaves.

Mow with confidence

The Z300R Electric ZTrak Mowers are powered by lithium-ion batteries that have up to twice the capacity of competitors:

• Z370R with 42-in (107-cm) mower deck has 3.56 (maximum) kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery; confidently mow 2 acres on a charge
• Z370R with 48-in (122-cm) mower deck has 3.56 (maximum) kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery; confidently mow 1.8 acres on a charge
• Z380R with 54-in (137-cm) mower deck has 7.12 (maximum) kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery; confidently mow 3.5 acres on a charge

The efficient Accel Deep Mower Decks with optimized blades extends runtime:

• Optimized blades give excellent cut quality, resilience to damage, and long wear life like the blades used on gas-powered Z300 ZTrak Mowers.       

Go home mode gets you back:

• When the battery nears depletion, the mower blades switch off and a battery reserve allows you to drive the mower to a charging outlet
• Use the battery to depletion without getting stranded

Productivity

The electric transaxle has the same 7-mph (11.3-km/h) maximum forward travel speed as the transaxle used on gas-powered Z300 ZTrak Mowers.

The wider 48-in. (122-cm) and 54-in. (137-cm) mower decks are more productive and extend further leftward which improves trimming.

Overview

A Z300R Electric ZTrak™ is designed to withstand dust and water so you can confidently weather the conditions, wash the mower with a water hose, and even store the mower outdoors. The same weatherization technology used on John Deere’s agriculture and construction products is found on Electric ZTrak Mowers for dependable, trouble-free performance.

Sealed battery with 5-year or 200-hour warranty

The battery is sealed to protect it from the elements:

• Meets IP66 (ingress protection) rating
  • Solid protection-no dust can enter battery
  • Water protection-no water can enter battery from washing
  • Competitive electric mowers do not meet this standard, leaving them vulnerable
• Rear cover provides additional protection to sealed battery and electrical hardware
• Backed by a 5-year or 200-hour, whichever comes first, warranty
• Optional PowerGard™ Lithium-Ion Battery Protection Plan extends battery warranty to 10 years or 400 hours
  • PowerGard Protection Plans are only available in the United States.

Sealed motors and high-quality connectors

The mower deck motors are also sealed to keep dust and water from entering. High-quality electrical connectors are also used throughout the mower.

High-quality paint

All John Deere mowers are painted with a dual-stage E-coat process using powder-paint coatings to provide protection from fading and corrosion.

Overview

Overview

Keep your John Deere equipment running its best with the John Deere Equipment Mobile App. Download the app from the mobile device’s app store, then add all your John Deere equipment by scanning the serial number bar codes. Once your equipment is added, you can access all your product’s model, serial number, and model year information in one place. The app also provides maintenance, parts, and support resources that are specific to your serial number(s).

Find the right parts the first time

It is important to get the right parts the first time. When you load your equipment list, Equipment Mobile provides parts information specific to your serial number(s). This is helpful to you and your John Deere dealer, as some parts can vary by serial number range.

Plan, track, and coordinate maintenance with your dealer

Equipment Mobile includes comprehensive maintenance plans for each piece of your equipment. The maintenance plan screen keeps track of completed tasks, provides a place for your notes, and provides parts listings. You can also share your maintenance plan with your dealership, enabling tasks completed by the dealer to be included.

Operator’s manual in the palm of your hands

A machine’s operator’s manual is a go-to resource that is available in Equipment Mobile. You can search, view, and download a copy. The operator’s manual is specific to the serial number(s) of your equipment.

Smart Connectors

A smart connector links the mower to the Equipment Mobile App and transmits vehicle information via Bluetooth® wireless technology to provide:

• Engine hours, that enable maintenance reminders
• Key switch status and battery level to warn if the battery is low
• Fuel level - even when away from the mower, the app remembers the fuel level so you can make sure the mower is fueled when it is time to mow

Optional BUC11960 smart connector is for use with:

• S120, S130, S160, S170, and S180 Tractors
• Model year 2021 and newer S240 Tractors (serial number 880,001-)
• Z515E, Z530M, Z530R, and Z545R ZTrak™ Mowers

Hours, fuel level, key switch status, and battery level are updated whenever the Equipment Mobile device is in range of a mower with a BUC11960 smart connector.

One end of the wiring harness plugs into the back of the fuel gauge. The other ends plug into the smart connector and the tractor's wiring harness. Z500 ZTrak Mowers come with a dedicated connectivity connector, so the new wire harness is not needed.

Optional BUC10537 smart connector is for use with:

• Model year 2016 and newer Select Series X300 and X500 Tractors

Hours, fuel level, key switch status, and battery level are updated whenever the mower’s key is turned on and the Equipment Mobile device is in range of a mower with a BUC10537 smart connector. The X350R Tractor does not report exact fuel level, it only indicates if the mower is low on fuel.

One end of the wiring harness plugs into the back of a Select Series X300 or X500 Tractor instrument cluster. The other ends plug into the smart connector and the tractor's wiring harness.

The Z370R and Z380R Electric ZTrak Mowers include the smart connector in base equipment.

On Electric ZTrak Mowers the battery level, charging status, and hours are transmitted when the Equipment Mobile device is in range of the mower, and the mower is on or actively charging. Equipment Mobile can also update an Electric ZTrak Mower’s controller software.

A smart connector requires the Equipment Mobile App. The John Deere Equipment Mobile App can be found in the mobile device’s app store.
