The John Deere Z225 is a zero turn mower from the John Deere EZTrak ZTR range. These are perfect mowers for people who pay extra special care to their gardens, as they are capable of cutting really close to the ground and in really tight corners (the magic of zero turn!). You will find these mowers on jobs that require a little more finesse (golf/pitch and putt courses, high school playing fields, etc) while you will find mowers like the John Deere 140 on jobs that don’t need as much attention to detail (parks, regular gardens)

The Z225 has a one cylinder engine designed and built by long time partner Briggs & Stratton, which pumps out 18.5hp. It’s 42 inch mower deck can be adjusted to very specific heights to the quarter inch (height can be adjusted from 4 inches down to 1 inch). Not only is the mowing height precisely controlled, but the motion controls are too. They can be adjusted quite a bit to accommodate almost any user. Unlike earlier John Deere models with forward mounted cutting decks that were quite slow movers (the John Deere F525 for instance), the John Deere Z225 has a top speed of 7mph which is very reasonable while in reverse it clocks 3.5mph.

It must be noted that driving forward on a ZTR EZTrak is a little different that all other John Deere Lawn mowers: you need to use the twin levers, one at either foot. All grass is discharged out the side and has the option of a bagger being attached to the back which can hold up to 6.5 bushels. A cool little addition to the JD Z225 is that it has 2 cup holders, so if you are out cutting lawns in the midday heat you can always bring a drink with you to make sure you stay hydrated.
