Magazine - John Deer Launches New Walk Behing Mowers.

By Press Release in Industry News on 30th Jan 2010 11:00

This Spring as homeowners start their mower engines, they'll want a machine that provides great cut quality, power and ease-of-use. John Deere delivers with the launch of three new best-in-class walk-behind mowers for 2010 — models JS26, JS36 and JS46.

The family of mowers is designed with enhanced features to improve quality of cut and overall performance, including a 22" deck for wider cutting and a maximum self-propelled speed of 3.6 MPH for greater efficiency. The entire line also features MowMentum™ Drive; a variable drive system that allows operators to modify the mower speed to match their stride, delivering more control and comfort. To meet the demands of various property conditions, the new walk behinds also include a broad cut height range from 1.2 inches to 4.2 inches.

All three models boast more power and durability; the JS26 and JS36 (both 95 lbs) operate with a 7 gross torque Briggs engine and the JS46 (100 lbs) runs on 8.75 gross torque power with electric start. Additionally, the JS36 and JS46 include rear wheel drive, which allows for added traction when bagging clippings. As the bag fills with grass the weight causes the mower's center of gravity to shift backward over the rear wheels.

"This new family of walk-behind mowers is engineered to provide improved cut quality and high performance standards," said Mike Ballou, Product Manager, John Deere. "This series is designed to give homeowners a quality lawn care solution in a compact, durable package without sacrificing performance."
