Choosing the right mower isn’t just about brand – it’s about how you mow, how often, and what kind of lawn you’re working with. At AFGRI Equipment, we stock the full range of John Deere Ride-On and ZTrak™ Zero-Turn Mowers, designed to deliver unmatched performance across homes, estates, golf courses, and commercial turf spaces.
If you’re thinking ahead to the growing season, now is the perfect time to explore your options and make the most informed decision – especially while it’s still winter and stock is readily available.
What’s the Difference?
Ride-On Mowers
John Deere Ride-On Mowers are ideal for medium to large gardens, especially those with wide, open spaces and gentle slopes. They’re known for comfort, simplicity, and solid reliability. Many models also allow for attachments like utility carts, trailers or collection systems, making them a versatile choice for all-season lawn care.
For those who want a faster, more precise cut, ZTrak™ Zero-Turn Mowers are built for performance. These machines are perfect for lawns with tight corners, trees, flower beds or any challenging layout. With unmatched manoeuvrability and mowing speed, they offer a cleaner cut in less time – and are ideal for users who want a professional finish without the fuss. ZTrak™ Zero-Turn Mowers also feature industrial decks which allow it to take on tougher tasks with longevity in mind.
