John Deere Z530R – 60-in 24-HP Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower

The John Deere Z530R is a high-performance zero-turn riding lawn mower engineered for homeowners who demand professional-level results on large residential properties. Designed and built by John Deere in Greeneville, Tennessee, the Z530R delivers exceptional cutting quality, durability, and comfort for properties ranging from 3 to 5 acres, especially flat terrain with obstacles such as trees, shrubs, and flower beds.

Powered by a 24-HP John Deere-branded Kawasaki V-Twin engine (726 cc), the Z530R provides ample torque and consistent power to handle tough mowing, mulching, and heavy grass conditions. The electric PTO blade engagementensures smooth, reliable blade activation, while the engine’s performance supports fast, efficient mowing without sacrificing cut quality.

At the heart of its cutting performance is the 60-inch High-Capacity mower deck, featuring a triple-blade systemconstructed from 9-gauge steel. Engineered to process tall and dense grass at higher speeds, the deck delivers an even, professional finish with cutting heights adjustable from 1 to 4 inches. Side discharge comes standard, and mulching capability is available with an optional kit.

The Z530R is equipped with a dual hydrostatic Tuff Torq® transmission with heavy-duty 1-inch axles, delivering smooth, responsive control and long-term durability. With a top forward speed of 9 mph and precise motion-control levers, operators can mow efficiently across open areas while easily navigating around obstacles. Reverse mowing is operator-controlled for added convenience.

Operator comfort is a standout feature of the Z530R. It includes a 22.5-inch high-back seat with lumbar support, armrests, and ComfortGlide™ suspension, reducing fatigue during extended mowing sessions. Additional comfort and convenience features include a cup holder, electronic display with low-fuel warning, rubber floor mats, isolated foot platform, premium handlebars, and under-seat and side storage compartments.

Safety is enhanced with a foldable Roll-Gard™ rollover protective structure (ROPS) and a retractable seat belt, while LED headlights provide excellent visibility in low-light conditions. The mower rides on durable 13-inch front caster wheels and 23-inch rear drive wheels, ensuring stability and traction.

Backed by a 4-year or 500-hour limited bumper-to-bumper warranty, the John Deere Z530R offers peace of mind and long-term reliability. Supported by local John Deere dealers and a comprehensive pre-delivery inspection, it represents a premium solution for homeowners seeking speed, precision, and comfort in a zero-turn mower.
