Every property owner yearns for a great looking lawn. With the help of John Deere lawn equipment, achieving this goal is within reach. While many land owners understand what types of equipment are best-suited for various tasks and yard sizes, the mower decks that do the actual cutting may be more of a mystery.

Every John Deere mower deck is solid stamped out of steel and designed in a way that sets up for a superior cut. But, what are the different mower deck options available to John Deere customers today and what models are compatible? Let’s take a closer look:

Accel Deep™ Mower Deck

The Accel Deep mower deck was introduced in early March, offering lawn professionals an option that provides a clean, fast cut. The flat-top design is the staple feature of the Accel Deep options, allowing grass to flow cleanly through the deck and discharge area while keeping up speed. As a result, incoming grass will pass through without interference and recutting (a common mowing obstacle) will be minimized.

Lift-up spindle covers make servicing and cleaning the deck easy processes. This deck can be paired with the MulchControl™ Kit, which lets drivers switch between side discharge and mulching by simply flipping a lever.
