John Deere Z500 Series ZTrak Mowers

The Z500 Series is the step up for homeowners with larger lawns who want more seat comfort and a longer warranty than an entry-level zero-turn. Every Z500 has a 24 or 25 HP engine, lap-bar steering and a 4 year bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Koenig Equipment carries Z500 Series mowers across Ohio and Indiana. Stop in to sit on one, or request a quote and our team will help you choose the deck and seat that fit your property.

John Deere Z500 Series FAQs

What is the difference between the Z500 and the Z300?
Z500 mowers have 24 to 25 HP engines, decks from 48 to 60 inches and a 4 year warranty. Z300 mowers have 20 to 25 HP engines, decks from 42 to 54 inches and a 3 year or 200 hour warranty, so the Z500 suits larger lawns and more hours each season.

Which Z500 should I choose?
The Z515E and Z530M are good fits for lawns where a 48 inch deck works. The Z530R adds 54 or 60 inch High Capacity decks for more open ground, and the Z545R adds an EFI engine with Electronic Throttle Control. Both R models have the largest seat and 500 hour warranty.

How do I adjust the cutting height?
On the Z530M, cutting height adjusts from 1 to 4 inches in quarter-inch steps with a foot-lift pedal and cut-height pin.

What warranty comes with a Z500 mower?
The Z515E and Z530M carry 4 years or 300 hours, and the Z530R and Z545R carry 4 years or 500 hours, whichever comes first.

How much does a John Deere Z500 cost?
Price depends on the model and deck size. Model pages show our current price where listed, and our team can quote any model with current offers and financing options.
