John Deere Z345M ZTrak 42-Inch Zero-Turn Mower – 22 HP V-Twin Power with Accel Deep™ Deck Technology

Overview

The John Deere Z345M is engineered for homeowners who want to “mow well fast.” This high-performance ZTrak™ mower combines a formidable 22 HP V-Twin engine with a precision-engineered 42-inch Accel Deep™ deck. Unlike standard decks, the Accel Deep™ design is stamped from a single piece of steel with a deep-draw profile, significantly improving lift and airflow to ensure a clean, even cut even at higher speeds.

Equipped with the ReadyStart® system, the Z345M offers “choke-free” starting—just like a modern car. Its dual hydrostatic EZT transmissions and large 18-inch drive tires allow you to navigate your property at speeds up to 7 MPH, cutting down your mowing time without sacrificing the quality of your lawn’s appearance. With a heavy-duty welded steel frame and a focus on serviceability, this mower is built for both performance and long-term reliability.
