2020 John Deere 648R

Features may include:

• John Deere leads the commercial zero-turn mower industry with use of the Michelin X Tweel Turf technology for the QuikTrak Mowers.

• Michelin is a world leader in tire manufacturing and technology. This airless radial tire solution is an industry first for John Deere, which provides an additional advantage to John Deere operators.

• Advantages of the Michelin X Tweel Turf include:

• Mowing performance is improved.

• Unique energy transfer within the poly-resin spokes reduces the bounce associated with pneumatic tires.

• Excellent curb climbing due to the Michelin X Tweel Turf construction and flexibility.

• More consistent cut quality because inconsistent tire pressure is eliminated.

• Uptime is improved.

• The exclusive technology eliminates downtime and associated cost due to flat or damaged tires.

• Punctures and sidewall damage no longer result in downtime.

• Cost of operation is reduced.

• Cost of repairs and maintenance is reduced. One single unit replaces the current tire, wheel, and valve assembly. There is no need for complex tire-mounting equipment.

• No need to spend time checking and optimizing tire pressure.

• The need to purchase and stock plug kits and spare tires is eliminated, particularly for professional landscape contractors and government agencies who normally stock them.

• The tire tread will last up to three times longer than current pneumatic tires because automotive-grade rubber is used for the tread.

• Heavy-duty construction provides the ultimate in performance and reliable operation:

• High-strength, poly-resin spokes carry the load.

• Four-hole, heavy-duty steel hub easily bolts onto any R Series QuikTrak Mower.

• Zero degree, high-tensile, proprietary carcass provides great lateral stiffness while resisting damage from impact and penetration.

• John Deere provides application-specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved field-installed propane conversion kits for specific John Deere Commercial Walk-Behind Mowers, QuikTrak Mowers, and ZTrak Mowers. The conversion kits include all components required to convert the engines to operate on propane fuel. Single-tank or dual-tank brackets (depending on the vehicle) are provided for securely holding the propane tank(s) to the vehicle.
