Productivity - getting the job done fast
Trim side of Accel Deep Mower Deck Trim side of Accel Deep Mower Deck

Deep mower-deck stamping delivers high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows room for the cut and suspended material to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:

  • Greatly improves the mowerā€™s capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance and cut quality in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds
  • Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.

Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:

  • Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
  • Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator

Cleaning a mower deck is one of the most frequent maintenance activities. The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:

  • There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
    • Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
    • Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
    • Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside of deck
  • The depth of the Accel Deep Mower Deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck.
    • Limited amount of material drifts onto the operator and mower deck
    • Even for material discharged out the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
    • Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and the MulchControl attachment makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.

Superior durability is designed in
Hinged spindle pocket cover Hinged spindle pocket cover
Double-captured mower wheel Double-captured mower wheel

Accel Deep Mower Decks have strong spindle pockets to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:

  • Ribs in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.
  • Mower wheels are double captured:
    • Provides greater strength and durability for longer, trouble-free life
    • Single-bolt adjustment makes setting wheels to the correct cutting height quick and easy
  • Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on engine lower bearings and mower deck bearings for longer life.
  • A 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side guard provides extra strength and protection.
  • Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.
  • Versatile deck makes it easy to change between side discharge, mulch, and bagging modes.
    • With the optional MulchControl attachment installed (along with the special mulching blades), changing from side discharge to mulching or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever.
  • The Power Flow rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl attachment and blades installed by simply placing the MulchControl lever in the side discharge position.

MulchControl option

The MulchControl attachment for the 54A Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect lawn material.

Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

  • A beautiful looking lawn
  • Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
  • Less fertilizer required
  • Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl baffle in open position MulchControl baffle in open position

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

  • The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
    • The MulchControl baffle, or divider, between the left and middle spindles is about halfway down. The height is designed to balance the mulching and side-discharge modes.
    • When the MulchControl baffle is open, the divider between the left and middle spindles passes a portion of the material to the discharge opening, along with the material from the middle and right spindle areas.
    • When the MulchControl baffle is closed, the material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
MulchControl baffle in closed position MulchControl baffle in closed position
MulchControl handle MulchControl handle
  • The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
    • The operator is required to get off the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
  • Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa takes only a few seconds.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

  • Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
  • Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
  • Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
  • Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

  • When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
  • When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
  • When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired

MCS Chutes

Power Flow chute and blower Power Flow chute and blower
Hopper, chute, and blower Hopper, chute, and blower

The Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the 2-bag Power Flow material collection system. The chute includes a convenient handle and a fill indicator that tells the operator when the bags are getting full.

One chute works with several vehicle applications. Trim lines on the chute are referenced in the instructions so the chute can be cut to the proper length for the vehicle/mower application.

  • Helps maintain battery in good condition and ensures it is fully charged
  • Powers on to charge battery and powers off when fully charged
  • 'Onboard' feature allows mounting next to the battery on collector, street rods, and other occasional-use vehicles
  • 1.5-amp trickle charges small batteries in 2 to 12 hours
  • Maintains large battery charges
  • Hookup protection guards battery and charger from damage

  • Mounting holes are pre-drilled in the foot platform for installation.
  • The Z700 foot pegs can be adjusted into two different positions, horizontal and at an angle, providing more variability for foot placement during operation.
  • The Z500 foot pegs can only be installed in the horizontal position.
  • The foot pegs also act as handles to remove and reposition the foot platform.

  • Placed in the storage position, the jack can be carried on the machine and available for use when needed.
  • The jack will need to be removed when using front ballast that is required for a rear material collection system, so it is not compatible with a material collection system.

Deluxe smart connector Deluxe smart connector

The John Deere MowerPlus deluxe smart connector wirelessly links some 100 and 200 Series Tractor models and Z500 Series ZTrakā„¢ Mowers to the MowerPlus app on a mobile device:

  • No tools are needed for installation.
  • Detailed setup instructions are included.
  • The connector sends information to the MowerPlus app via BluetoothĀ® wireless technology when the tractor key switch is on or off, and the mobile device app is running within range.
  • The wireless connector and app work together to offer helpful information.

Equipment features available for viewing on the MowerPlus app include:

  • Tractor engine hours automatically synchronized to the app
  • In-app maintenance reminders and log, based on engine hours
  • Fuel level - even when away from the tractor, the app remembers information from the last synchronization, such as the fuel level.
    • When thinking ahead about Saturday morning mowing, the operator can make sure the tractor is fueled and ready to go.
  • Help to determine the best time to mow
  • Expert pre-mow optimization tips
  • Maintenance walk-through instructions

The operator is able to visit their deviceā€™s app store to see new app features as they are added.

Since the smart connector communicates instrument cluster information, future app releases will provide additional operating recommendations and notifications.

Smart connector, wiring harness, and twist ties Smart connector, wiring harness, and twist ties

One end of the wiring harness plugs into the back of the fuel gauge. The other ends plug into the smart connector and the tractor's wiring harness. The Z500 Mowers come with a dedicated connectivity connector, so the new wire harness is not needed.

Compatibility and requirements

MowerPlus deluxe smart connector (BUC10929) is for use with the following lawn tractors and ZTrak Mowers:

  • All S120, S130, S160, S170, and S180 Tractors
  • Model year 2021 and newer S240 Tractors (serial number 880,001-)
  • Model year 2021 and newer Z515E, Z530M, Z530R, and Z545R (serial number 010,001-)

The MowerPlus smart connector requires the MowerPlus app on a mobile device to use. The John Deere MowerPlus app can be found in the mobile deviceā€™s app store.

NOTE: The John Deere MowerPlus app is only available in the English language, and it is not available in all countries. Find operating system version availability in the mobile deviceā€™s app store.

10P Poly Utility Cart 10P Poly Utility Cart

Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart.


Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials:

  • Firewood
  • Lawn debris
  • Sand
  • Dirt
  • Mulch
  • Garden tools
  • Plants and bushes

The 10P Utility Cart is designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment:

  • 10-cu ft (283-L), heavy-duty, 0.25-in. (6.4-mm) thick poly bed
  • Will not dent or rust
  • 15x6 tubeless pneumatic tires with turf tread for maximum traction
  • Easy, hands-free foot pedal dump release
  • Steep dump angle for complete emptying

 

A convenient foot pedal dump release kit, LP48017, which now comes standard on all 10P and 17P carts is available to retrofit existing poly carts. This kit allows the operator to use both hands to lift the cart bed for more natural and efficient unloading.
