The mower deck has a deep-deck design:
Steel reinforcing bars are welded to the front edge and trim side of the mower deck:
The deck has deep, strong spindle pockets to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough operation:
Flip-up spindle covers make cleaning the spindle area convenient.
Dual-captured front and side anti-scalp wheels:
A permanent step weldment is located at the left front corner of the mower deck:
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
The MulchControl attachment makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material.
Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:
The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side-discharge or bagging when needed.
While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

A JDLink™ M Modem - 4G connects a commercial mower to the John Deere Operations Center, which enables you to manage your fleet more efficiently, increase productivity, and reduce labor costs. With a modem and Operations Center, you are always connected to the work in progress and can make timely adjustments to keep your fleet mowing.
A JDLink M Modem - 4G is standard equipment on model year 2024 and newer TerrainCut Front and Wide-Area Mowers.
A modem can be field installed on:
See compatibility section for serial number breaks and requirements.

The JDLink M Modem - 4G regularly transmits the location and operational status of each mower in the fleet so you can monitor mowing progress on the Operations Center.
The modem regularly transmits the mower’s engine hours to inform maintenance planning and balance use.
Factory or custom maintenance plans can be established in Operations Center. Maintenance alerts are sent when engine hours reach maintenance intervals.
On select products, the modem reports the time the mower spent transporting, idling, and working. The Operations Center’s Machine Analyzer tool reports usage data which allows you to analyze operator behavior, identify causes of low productivity, and initiate corrective actions.
On select products, the modem reports the fuel level. On these products, an analysis of fuel consumption is available in the Operations Center Machine Analyzer Tool. Measuring fuel consumption enables you to address causes of excessive fuel use.
On select products, the modem transmits the trouble codes generated by the mower’s control units to the Operations Center. Addressing DTCs can reduce downtime and repair costs. For example, a low-engine oil pressure DTC can indicate an engine is low on oil. Addressing the issue can prevent costly downtime and repairs.
On select products, John Deere dealers can perform remote diagnostics, software programming, and adjustments without the cost of a service call.
A JDLink M Modem - 4G is standard equipment on model year 2024 and newer (SN 110,001-) TerrainCut Front Mowers and model year 2024 and newer (SN 690,001-) TerrainCut Wide-Area Mowers.
A JDLink M Modem - 4G can be field installed on the commercial mowing products listed below. Field installation attachments simplify modem installation, and include brackets, mounting hardware, harness, and instructions. Field installation requires a JDLink M Modem - 4G to be ordered separately.
