72-in. (183-cm) 7-Iron PRO Mower Deck 72-in. (183-cm) 7-Iron PRO Mower Deck

7-Iron PRO mower decks have demonstrated quality, performance, and durability. They deliver a high-quality cut in diverse conditions.

Key features of the 7-Iron PRO mower deck:

  • Deck is forged from 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) steel to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside with fewer sharp corners for reduced material buildup.
  • Significantly fewer welds on the deck shell to wear or break - it is forged from a single sheet of steel rather than multiple fabrications. An anti-skid step on the deck provides easy machine mounting.
  • Extra reliability and long life with cast-iron blade spindle housings.
  • Higher blade tip speed than many competitors - approximately 18,500 fpm (5,639 m/min) for more blade cuts per inch mowed.
  • A deep-deck design of 5.5 in. (14 cm) delivers excellent airflow so material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
  • The wider and higher discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
  • Quick-release belt covers do not require tools or the removal of a ring clip; just lift one corner of the cover and rotate it slightly to remove.
    • A hole in the deck tab is provided for use of an optional ring clip for extra security, if desired.
    • This makes it quick and easy for you to clean out trash that may collect around the spindle sheave.
Mower rectangular leading-edge reinforcement Mower rectangular leading-edge reinforcement
Dual-captured anti-scalp wheel Dual-captured anti-scalp wheel
  • Deck has rectangular leading deck edge reinforcement and the rounded corners of the forged deck help distribute impact stress to reduce the potential of damage when the mower contacts trees, rocks, curbs, and other fixed obstacles.
  • Dual-captured front and rear anti-scalp wheels provide deck flotation over even the toughest terrain.
  • Three 1-in. (2.5-cm), cold-forged spindles are heat-treated for strength without bulk and are supported by ball bearings, providing reliability and performance; spindle housings are ribbed cast iron providing both excellent strength and heat dissipation.
  • The trim edge of the deck is equipped with a bumper that provides great abrasion resistance to protect the machine and the property.
  • The front edge is raised above the blade plane to allow even cutting of tall grass and is reinforced with a square bar for durability. The front baffle has been redesigned to better manage airflow and control clippings.
  • Three spindle grease fittings are accessible from the top.
  • Blade overlap is 1.6 in. (40.6 mm), nearly 0.79 in. (20 mm) greater than previous decks, to reduce striping between blades.
  • Quick-change, cutting-height adjustment.
Extra reliability and long life with cast-iron blade spindle housings
Cast-iron mower spindle Cast-iron mower spindle
Cast-iron mower spindle Cast-iron mower spindle

On every commercial mower deck there are three 1-in. (25-mm) spindles that are cold-forged and heat-treated for strength. Spindles are supported by precision ball bearings that provide great performance and reliability.

  • Superior impact strength provided by ductile cast-iron material.
  • Gusseted design puts reinforcement where it is needed.
  • Strength of cast iron protects against damage from blade impacts.
  • Easy access grease fittings are mounted at the top of the spindle shafts for convenience.
  • Grease pressure-relief valve minimizes seal damage from overfilling with grease and keeps debris from entering housing.
  • Chance of deck shell damage is minimized with the 8-in. (20.3-cm) diameter housing and six mounting bolts that distribute loads and impacts.
  • Ability to be reliably rebuilt is provided by use of cast iron.

Two-lever hydrostatic control provides the following:

  • The operator can select the ground speed and direction control simply by moving levers forward or reverse.
  • Positive neutral lock position for levers provides added safety.
  • Brake & Go operator-presence system returns levers to the neutral position when the brake pedal is actively engaged. 
  • Starting the machines are as easy as starting a car. It no longer matters if the control levers are extended out or pulled in, as long as the parking brake is engaged. Just turn the key and go.
  • Wide-bend, large-diameter steering levers swing out easily for entry and exit from the operator platform.

The Brake & Go starting system is a John Deere exclusive. This feature makes the starting process on all ZTrak™ mowers easier, while also making it possible to remove two interlock switches from the machine.
 
The Brake & Go starting procedure helps a novice operator look and feel like a professional. To start the machine, the parking brake must be engaged. It does not matter whether the power take-off (PTO) switch is on or off, nor does it matter if the control levers are pulled in or in the out position.
 
As long as the parking brake is engaged, the machine will start. When the parking brake is applied, the control levers cannot be moved to the forward or reverse positions.

Adjustable levers

Mower deck height adjustment knob Mower deck height adjustment knob

An easy-to-use cutting-height lift system allows the operator to adjust the mower deck height with no tools and minimal effort. The easy-to-grip knob allows operators to dial in the desired height of cut (HOC).

Cutting height can be adjusted from approximately 1 in. to 5.5 in. (2.5 cm to 14 cm). Each increment on the knob adjusts the HOC approximately 0.25 in. (0.64 cm). The deck can also be raised and locked in a transport position to provide maximum ground clearance when moving the machine from one area to another.

The transport lock function allows the deck to be returned to the previous HOC after being in the transport position:

  • Use the foot-lift pedal to lift the deck and engage the transport lock.
  • Rotate the knob to adjust from 1 in. to 5.5 in. (2.5 cm to 14 cm) in 0.25-in. (0.64 cm) increments.

This design increases productivity by allowing operators to change the cutting height without having to leave the seat.

Not entirely happy

I bought a 757 15 years ago and I have been very happy with it. I bought the 915 because the 757 was wearing out and it was spending too much time in the shop. The 915 does not handle nearly as well as the 757, it is jerky and somewhat unpredictable. It does, however, cut very well.

Rough riding mower! and slow. My older z830a 60'' drives like a cadillac and is faster compared to the 915e 60''. I added a suspension seat did not help much, going to have to sell it before I drop a kidney stone.

Constant problems

I am really disappointed with the mower. I’ve only had the mower for less than two months and it’s been in the shop three times. The mower will go completely dead while riding. Will not start, turnover, or anything. This will be the fourth time in two months that it has to go to the dealership. Less than 20 hours. This is crazy. I will not purchase another and I own several types of John Deere equipment. Really looking to get my money back on this mower.

Horrible mower

Bought this mower brand new and it's been problem after problem, it has right at 100 hrs on it and has been to the shop more times than I would like to say, and the techs have issues trying to get it right every time it goes, I have taken this thing to 3 different dealers and it's always the same outcome, extremely rough ride. Definitely will not be buying another JD, I had an older zero turn and no issues but these new ones are ridiculous. I now own 3 ferris mowers and couldn't be happier

Great Machine

I bought mine 3 years ago and have never had any problems. I use mine for personal use and cut about 2.5 acres of difficult land with hills and several obstacles to cut around. This mower reduced my cutting time by about 45 minutes and is a life saver. All functional systems on this mower are all over built and should last a normal home owner a life time with normal maintenance and care. As a 40 plus year aircraft engineer I looked long and hard before selecting this mower. After owning it 3 years I can tell you I made the correct purchase. I highly recommend this mower for any home owner who wants or needs a serious machine.
