The John Deere Z525E is a zero-turn mower produced between 2016 and 2020. Manufactured in Greeneville, Tennessee, USA, this machine was designed for residential lawn care, offering high maneuverability and efficient cutting performance.

Engine and Performance

The Z525E is powered by a 724 cc Briggs & Stratton V-Twin air-cooled gasoline engine. It produces 24 horsepower (17.9 kW), providing sufficient output for demanding mowing tasks. The engine utilizes an electric starter and operates on a 12-volt electrical system.

The mower utilizes a Tuff Torq TZT 7-D hydrostatic transmission.

The unit features two-wheel drive with power steering to facilitate tight turns and general navigation.

It is equipped with 13x5.0-6 front and 22x9.50-10 rear lawn/turf tires, designed to minimize ground compaction. The total weight of the unit varies based on the deck configuration, ranging from approximately 615 lbs to 631 lbs.
