Product Features
Large 23-in. rear tires and Tuff Torq® transmissions let the Z545R mow at up to 9 mph — a full class faster than E- and M-Series machines. On four or five acres that difference is measured in hours saved every week.
The 48-, 54- and 60-in. High Capacity decks are forged from thick 9-gauge steel with welded reinforcement on the front and trim edges, plus upgraded commercial-grade spindles — built to shrug off years of hard use.
A high-back 22.5-in. seat with armrests rides on ComfortGlide™ slides that give up to an inch of fore-aft travel, absorbing bumps and jarring. The foot platform adds rubber isolation so long mows stay comfortable.
The EFI V-twin starts instantly with no choke, holds blade speed in thick damp grass, and skips carburetor maintenance entirely. Digital throttle control changes engine speed at the touch of a button.

Bought this as an upgrade from my Z355R. I love the fuel injection, the 54-inch deck, the extra leg room and the comfort compared to my previous mower. Always been a John Deere guy and still am — very satisfied.

This is my second Z545R. Great fuel economy and it just keeps working. The first one never gave me a single problem and this one has been the same story.

Bought this mower and it has been outstanding from day one. Cuts clean, starts every time and handles my property faster than anything I've owned.

Broke it in on a 2+ acre tract and my mow time went from just under 3 hours to 2, thanks to the 60-in. deck. The seat design and foot pegs make the ride comfortable, LED lighting is everywhere, and the EFI means no choking to start. Maintenance is a breeze.

Many good features — electric start, a very smooth ride and a great cut. My dealer took care of an early engine adjustment quickly and it's been running well since. Hard to beat the ride quality on slopes.

I also own a Z930M, so my bar was high. For a residential mower the 60-in. Z545R cuts beautifully, the lights and fuel injection are great, and after my dealer set the deck it's been leaving a level, clean finish.

The 23-inch rears grip hills better than my old machine and leave almost no marks on the turf. Very planted feeling at 9 mph.

Nothing else in this price range offers 500 hours of coverage. Made the decision easy for me and it's been flawless so far.
