Real walkarounds, owner updates and expert reviews — see the Z740R commercial ZTrak™ in action before you buy.
Product Features
Choose a 48-, 54-, or 60-in. High Capacity PRO deck with welded deck reinforcements and commercial-grade spindles. A cut-height dial adjusts the deck in ¼-in. increments from 1.5 to 5 in., so you dial in the exact finish your property needs.
Dual sealed Hydro-Gear transmissions deliver ground speeds up to 10 mph with low maintenance and easy fluid checks. The result is more acres per hour and confident, stable handling on slopes.
A 24-in. seat with fully adjustable mechanical suspension plus an adjustable foot platform keeps you comfortable through an all-day mow. The 8-gallon fuel tank means you mow more and stop less.
A solid heavy-duty frame and standard rollover protective structure (ROPS) back you up on demanding ground. Optional Michelin® X® Tweel® Turf airless radials eliminate punctures, sidewall damage and pressure checks for consistent cut quality.

Incredible machine! After over 300 hours of commercial use on nearly 60 different lawns it continues to impress. The cut quality remains the best of my whole fleet. With the optional mulching door it runs all year long. The Tweel tires offer superior traction on hills and the comfort suspension seat plus 8-gallon tank allow all-day mowing. Highly recommend a 740R!

Purchased May of 2023 and used the mower and bagger extensively all the way through the end of Fall. Thoroughly impressed. I have owned Cub Cadet, Scag and Spartan — this mower is more comfortable and has a cleaner cut. Highly satisfied with this machine!

I purchased the Z740R in summer of 2023 and already have almost 50 hours on the machine. I mowed 8 acres a week with a compact tractor for years and decided to move to a zero turn. Wow — what a difference and much more efficient. I enjoy the dependability and ruggedness.

I bought this mower a month ago and man I love it! Can't say enough about the even cut, smooth ride, and the speed it mows at. Nicest zero turn I've run to date — and the lights are a great bonus.

I look forward to mowing every Saturday — music on and it's me time. This unit is accurate, very productive and very fast. I mow 1.5 acres in less than 30 minutes with a cross cut. It is 60% more efficient than my 54-inch rider. Saved me hours.

Picked up my Z740R last week. I've only mowed twice so far but it has already cut my time down to 1 1/2 hours. This replaced my 21 year old 335 — looking forward to many more years with this one.

I am very pleased with this machine. If you want a great zero turn you need to buy a John Deere Z740R!

Bought my mower in the spring and absolutely love it. Cuts clean, rides smooth and starts every time.

I bought this mower a couple months ago and I really like how it runs and cuts. I've had John Deere zero turns for 20 years now and this is the strongest cutting one yet — the dealer walked me through the starting procedure and it's been smooth since.

The purchase experience was really good and the equipment itself is excellent — strong, comfortable and it cuts beautifully. Delivery could have been a little more polished, but the machine has been everything I hoped for.

This is my first summer mowing with a ZTR after 20+ years on tractors. I bought the Z740R after test driving several models including competing brands. It is so comfortable to ride, much better on my lower back and legs, and it cuts beautifully even in tall grass.

Nine months in and more than satisfied. Our property is 5 acres of grass cut weekly and parts of it are very bumpy. The main selling point for the Z740R was the adjustable suspension seat — and it delivers.

Easy handling, kick-butt speed, comfortable non-bone-jarring seat. It cut my mowing time from 4+ hours to 1.5 hours with the ability to get around all the obstacles in our 5 acre yard. It handles tall grass with ease at higher speeds.

I mow 4-5 acres around my farm house and this 5-foot deck is a dream come true. What used to take 4 hours now takes 1.5. The FX engine is strong for this size mower, and the seat is amazing — John Deere pretty much attached a recliner to this machine.

Since purchasing the Z740R I have cut my mowing time dramatically and the finish quality is excellent. It is a well-built machine that feels like it will last for many seasons.

First season I did about 25 cuts on 5 acres. Great mower, very well built, and it handles the workload easily. Keeping an eye on tire pressure before each mow keeps the cut perfectly level — the Tweel option removes that step entirely.

Seven months in and it is great. It is a heavier, more solid machine than the 5 Series and you feel that stability on rough ground. For commercial use the speed and build quality are exactly what I wanted.

I bought this mower in the spring of 2021 and it is a great machine. I had one engine issue early on and the dealer sorted it out under warranty — support has been solid and it has run strong since.
