The full pressure lubrication system has a maximum capacity to hold up to 1.9 liters of oil. The engine is prevented from overheating through an air cooling system.

There are a number of different sized mower decks that are available with the John Deere Z830A when you are buying it brand new. The largest has a massive cutting width of 72 inches. Smaller than this is a deck with a cutting width of 60 inches. The smallest mowing deck available with the JD Z830A has a cutting width of just 54 inches. Please keep in mind that the 72 inch cutting deck won’t be able to handle heavy, long or wet grass as well as the 54 inch or 60 inch decks for simple reason that it’s bigger but it receives the same amount of power. All 3 decks have an operating height that ranges over 3.5 inches, from a high of 5 inches above the ground to a low of 1.5 inches.

All decks also have a number of anti scalping wheels attached which act to keep it constantly raised above the cutting surface without the risk of it catching and potentially marking the ground. All decks that are compatible with the John Deere Z830A zero turn mower are made from stamped 7 gauge steel and all discharge the grass out the side of the deck.

    Generally a strong mower . Dealer closing up shop caused me and friends to become semi-skilled JD mechanics . Don’t depend on web site for help . Numerous JD blogs out there for service advice . Expensive mower but its last longer than other models , including JD .

    Year of Manufacture: 9
    Pros: Strong mower .Will cut very high tall dry grass quite well . In spite of manufacturers warnings you can cut a slope by going across rather than up and down . Very agile . Easy to clean top of deck . Adjustable seating .
    Cons: Belt broke within first 10 minutes of running due to dealer not greasing deck before delivery. Deck height adjustment has stuck in various positions for unknown reasons . Dealer went out of business and when questions were asked of website I was given directions to closest dealer , 40 miles away . A pop up on website offered technical advice on problems , for $40.00 . Battery died after 6 months, not under warranty .
    Attachments: Deck very easy to clean on top . Also easy to detach for service.
    Modifications: Changed clumsy rings holding covers over pulleys to pins . Quicker to take off this way to blow grass out . Lowered tire pressure 2 lbs for more traction . Purchased tractor battery for longevity .
