Features
Overview
The Z300 Electric ZTrak Mowers deliver the productivity and cut quality of a gas-powered Z300 ZTrak Mower. Many proven components, including the frame and Accel Deep™ Mower Decks, are shared with the gas-powered models.
Accel Deep Mower Decks mow well fast
Mower decks are 4.83 to 4.97-in. (12.3 to 12.6-cm) deep with a flat top and large discharge opening.
Cut and suspended material can exit the mower deck without getting recut:
- Improves mowing capacity
- Reduces power consumption to extend run time
Stamped-steel construction eliminates sharp edges and corners:
- Less material build-up
- Less turbulence and power consumption
- Industry leading cut-quality
Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level give a more even cut and reduce scalping.
Optional MulchControl™ enables you to mulch frequently:
- Deep mower-deck design allows for optimal recutting and even distribution of clippings
- Converts to side-discharge in seconds if the grass is too tall to mulch
Optional 6.5-bu (230-L) rear bagger with a 42-in. (107-cm) mower deck for collecting grass clippings and leaves.
Mow with confidence
The Z300R Electric ZTrak Mowers are powered by lithium-ion batteries that have up to twice the capacity of competitors:
- Z370R with 42-in (107-cm) mower deck has 3.56 (maximum) kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery; confidently mow 2 acres on a charge
- Z370R with 48-in (122-cm) mower deck has 3.56 (maximum) kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery; confidently mow 1.8 acres on a charge
- Z380R with 54-in (137-cm) mower deck has 7.12 (maximum) kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery; confidently mow 3.5 acres on a charge
The efficient Accel Deep Mower Decks with optimized blades extends runtime:
- Optimized blades give excellent cut quality, resilience to damage, and long wear life like the blades used on gas-powered Z300 ZTrak Mowers.
Go home mode gets you back:
- When the battery nears depletion, the mower blades switch off and a battery reserve allows you to drive the mower to a charging outlet
- Use the battery to depletion without getting stranded
Productivity
The electric transaxle has the same 7-mph (11.3-km/h) maximum forward travel speed as the transaxle used on gas-powered Z300 ZTrak Mowers.
The wider 48-in. (122-cm) and 54-in. (137-cm) mower decks are more productive and extend further leftward which improves trimming.

Overview
A Z300R Electric ZTrak™ is designed to withstand dust and water so you can confidently weather the conditions, wash the mower with a water hose, and even store the mower outdoors. The same weatherization technology used on John Deere’s agriculture and construction products is found on Electric ZTrak Mowers for dependable, trouble-free performance.
Sealed battery with 5-year or 200-hour warranty
The battery is sealed to protect it from the elements:
- Meets IP66 (ingress protection) rating
- Solid protection-no dust can enter battery
- Water protection-no water can enter battery from washing
- Competitive electric mowers do not meet this standard, leaving them vulnerable
- Rear cover provides additional protection to sealed battery and electrical hardware
- Backed by a 5-year or 200-hour, whichever comes first, warranty
- Optional PowerGard™ Lithium-Ion Battery Protection Plan extends battery warranty to 10 years or 400 hours
- PowerGard Protection Plans are only available in the United States.
Sealed motors and high-quality connectors
The mower deck motors are also sealed to keep dust and water from entering. High-quality electrical connectors are also used throughout the mower.
High-quality paint
All John Deere mowers are painted with a dual-stage E-coat process using powder-paint coatings to provide protection from fading and corrosion.
Overview
A Z300R Electric ZTrak Mower is built tough to provide many years of trouble-free service. Several proven components, including the frame and the Accel Deep™ Mower Decks, are shared with the gas-powered Z300 ZTrak models.
Frame
The Z300R Electric ZTrak Mower frame is constructed of heavy-duty formed and welded steel for strength, reliability, and long life:
- Robust 2.5-in. x 2-in. (6-cm x 5-cm) steel tubing in front and 1.5-in. x 2-in. (4-cm x 5-cm) steel tubing on the sides
- A front bumper protects the front of the mower from damage
- Caster wheel pivots have sealed bearings for easy steering and long life
Mower Decks
The Accel Deep Mower Decks are forged from heavy-gauge steel:
- 42-in. (107-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck: 12-gauge, 0.105-in. (2.7-mm)
- 48-in. (122-cm) and 54-in. (137-cm) Accel Deep Mower Decks: 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.4-mm)
To withstand impacts both decks feature:
- Formed spindle pockets, side gutters, and deck-shell ribs that provide extra strength
- Double captured mower wheels for increased durability
The 48-in. (122-cm) and 54-in. (137-cm) Accel Deep Mower Decks include a 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side bumper that provides extra protection.
Transaxle
The electric transaxle is maintenance free and reliable:
- Sealed, with no hose connections that could leak
- Beefed-up 1-in. (2.5-cm) axles with four-bolt hubs

This for those who don't understand comparing decibel readings. The decibel scale is logarithmic and not a percentage of. Every 10 decibels is twice as loud.10 to 20 is twice (2X) as loud. 90 to 100 is twice (2X) as loud. 10 to 30 would be 4X as loud. Double(2x) plus double(2x) =4X I read people complaining that this machine is 'only' 10 decibels lower. That means your noise was cut IN HALF. Your old mower was TWICE as loud. Anyone who actually owns a decibel meter would know this. I doubt the review is real. I've seen this exact review on various electric mowers and tools. It's just not true. Your ears will tell you that 90 to 80 can't possibly be a percentage. It's not.

I like the fact I don’t have to get gas and no more oil changes. But I did put a orange flag on the left side so I could see my outside edge, too much green when mowing

We bought this at the end of the growth season and so it hasn’t yet seen a lot of use as a grass mower. However, I have used it twice for picking up leaves (we have the collection system installed) and for this use it has performed very well. Generally it allows me to complete a task in a couple of hours that used to require a full day or more. With a yard approximating a half acre, the job draws well less than half the battery charge, despite the many stops needed to unload the bins because of the heavy leaf load (we’re surrounded by hardwood forest). A full recharge from near zero has taken about 3 hours. All in all, a very well-designed product and we’re quite happy with our purchase.

I have this mower for 2 months - outstanding. I have 2.3 acres of hilly grass to mow and when finished I had 15% left on the battery. The mulch feature effectively deals with long grass leaving no clumps behind. Goes uphill way better than my old X300, extremely efficient and fast.

There are a few ideas that I think would make this mower better. The cover over the back area of the machine could be turned into a small cargo area to carry yard tools etc.. I would also like to see a 12volt outlet and also a 120volt outlet. A way to raise the deck up and down with some sort of a power control rather than foot pedal that looks sort of tacky since the rest of the machine looks so refined. Right from the very start I have not liked the way the steering control levers are so hard to push forward. I considered not keeping the machine for that reason. The seat suspension could also use some improvement. Perhaps better springs that would give it a less ridged ride. Last of all being electric I thought it would be nice and quiet to mow with however I have found that with the mower engaged the sound level is only 10 decibels less than my gas powered Z220 machine.
