Features may include:

• From the operator's station to the mower deck, John Deere walk-behind mowers have a compact and functional design:

• Caster wheels are set in as close to the mower as possible.

• Shortest overall machine length to maximize maneuverability and minimize space needed on a trailer

• The compact design of John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers allows access to operate in tight areas where larger ride-on machines cannot fit. Often, this means the area can be mowed with a walk-behind mower so it is not necessary to switch to another mower, which helps reduce the time on site.

• With the compact design of John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers, less space is required on a truck or trailer, possibly freeing up space for an extra mower, resulting in less time on property, saving both time and money.
