The John Deere Z820A zero-turn mower is a slightly more powerful model than the John Deere Z810A, but it is not as powerful as the John Deere Z830A or John Deere Z840A mowers. The engine powering the JD Z820A is an air-cooled Kawasaki producing 25bhp. This motor uses a fully pressurized lubrication system to keep everything moving correctly. It has a total volume of 0. 675 liters. It uses both a canister-type air filter and a pre-filter to filter impurities from the air intake. The engine is started by a 12 volt battery using a key start mechanism. This battery is recharged by a 20 amp alternator once the engine is running. The fuel tank of this machine has a capacity for 43. 5 liters of gasoline.
The John Deere Z820A drives the rear wheels, which allow it to reach a top speed of 19. 3 km/h and, when reversing, a top speed of 9. 7 km/h. Engine power is delivered to the rear wheels via a dual hydrostatic transmission that allows independent control of each rear wheel. The JD Z820A comes standard with a digital hour meter so the operator can accurately judge when to perform maintenance and keep it in good working order.
For the John Deere Z820A zero-turn mower you can choose between different cutting decks. The smallest has a 48-inch width of cut, while the largest has a 60-inch width of cut. The medium size platform is 54 inches wide. Each mower deck consists of 3 blades housed within a mower deck made of 7 gauge stamped steel (the name for this series of mower decks is the ‘7 Iron II’ series). Some of these decks on the JD Z820A dump grass clippings out to the side, while others have on-demand mulch capability.
