Product Features
The 25-hp electronically fuel injected engine offers easy starts every time — no choke required. A digital throttle control lets you change engine speed with the touch of a button, and EFI eliminates the nuisance of carburetor maintenance.
Forged from thick 9-gauge steel with welded reinforcement on the front and trim edges plus upgraded commercial-grade spindles. Available in 48-, 54- and 60-in. cutting widths for a clean, level cut every pass.
Large 23-in. rear tires and Tuff Torq® TZT7-M transmissions let the Z545R mow at up to 9 mph, so big properties get finished in a fraction of the time.
A 22.5-in. high-back seat with adjustable springs, an open flat platform with foot pegs, and 18-position motion-control levers keep you comfortable through long mowing sessions. Standard LED lights extend your day.

I bought this mower back in October of 2023. It was an upgrade from my Z355R. I like the features of fuel injection, 54 inch deck. Has more leg room and comfort than my previous mower. Always been a john deere guy and still am. Very satisfied.

This is my second Z545R Ztrak Mower. The only complaint is that I had one break down this year. Bolt backed out of bracket and drive belt came off. Never had a problem with my first Z545R

Mowed with this Z545R 54” 5 times now with a dedicated mulch kit and it has a great cut. Does not seem to burn a ton of fuel. And the Briggs motor runs smooth. Very easy to start.

I actually made this purchase out of necessity last summer, since a family of mice took residence on top of the cylinders of my 2016 model, it overheated and was out of commission for some time. I have a large mow area and kept both, but I must say, as much as I liked my 2016, I like the features of the 2023 even more. Things like push button throttle set, and redesigned deck adjustment to name a couple. And LED lights!!!

So far so good. Electric Fuel Injection is nice. Just getting used to machine. Plenty of power! This is my second zero turn, second John Deere. Care must be taken on steep grades not to dislodge mower height setting adjustment.

Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It becomes effortless after a learning curve and seems to go wherever you think it. A couple things for prospective buyers: the front end is extremely light. If you’re not careful, it could flip backward especially going up an incline. Perhaps a 700 series would remedy this issue.

I bought my ZTrak before the grass started growing. That gave me some time to try it out and get used to how it handles. The manueverability makes for fast mowing. It cuts clean and can handle heavy grass with no problem.

Very solid feel to the machine. Seems to be pretty fuel efficient with the injected setup. Plenty of power and really like that we added the mulch kit

Have put 11 hours on the machine so far. Cut my mowing time down drastically. Pleased with the machine.

I broke my Z545R in today on a 2+ acre tract and was pleasantly surprised to see my mow time go from just under 3 hours to 2, thanks to the 60in deck - an upgrade from a 54. The seat design and foot pegs made the ride comfortable and enjoyable. Great job by JD Engineering. LED lighting galore. Love the LED fuel gauge, rpm indicator, etc. Love the EFI and not having to choke to start. JD has taken several steps in the right direction with this product. The maintenance on these machines is a breeze. Do yourself a favor and keep the deck clean after use with a leaf blower. Use fuel stabilizer routinely.

BOUGHT THIS MOWER FROM MY LOCAL DEALER. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MOWER AND THE POWER BEHIND IT. CUTS GREAT THE EFI IS NICE IT STARTS UP WITHOUT HAVING TO TOUCH A CHOKE OR ANYTHING. I BOUGHT THIS ONE OVER THE Z530R BECAUSE I WANTED EFI. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE BRIGGS ENGINE BUT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD. THE ONLY THING I WOULD RECOMMEND IS GOING WITH THE 54" DECK OVER THE 48". WITH THE 48" DECK YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO CUT BACK OVER YOUR TIRE TRACKS AND WITH A 54" YOU CAN STICK OUT A LITTLE BUT WITH PROPERTIES BEING SMALLER I CAN SEE WHY 48" ARE MADE. I AM THINKING ABOUT SELLING MY DECK FOR A 54" THOUGH AS I HAVE THE BIGGER PROPERTY TO USE A 54" OVERALL VERY PLEASED AND LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE HRS ON MY MOWER.

I had a Z445 that I purchased in 2010. It was my first zero turn and the machine gave me 11 trouble free seasons of mowing. So for my 60th birthday this April, I decided to treat myself to a new Z545R. needless to say, it is the best birthday present I bought myself!!! I am very pleased with the unit! It feels wonderful, the cut is John Deere terrific as usual!! The features of the mower are great! Love the operators display, gas gauge, and the EFI is terrific! I am very pleased with sticking with another JD, How about a pushbutton start for the next model? Thank You JD for making such a great mower and looking forward to another 11 + years of mowing, Geez, that would make me 71! ouch!!
