John Deere Zero Turn Review 500 Hours Z335E

Here is our first review video! It is a John Deere Z335E 42inch Deck Zero Turn Lawn Mower!
We just hit 500 hours on our machine and it was time to make a review. We hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!!
Overall I would buy this lawn mower again. It has been a great first zero turn. It fits through almost every gate. The lines and stripes are decent. The durability and quality of the machine seem to be pretty good.
I do find things I am not 100% happy with but overall I like and recommend this machine.
2021 Model Z335E

I wonder how long it would have lasted with a 54 in. deck ? The same size machine will work a lot harder with a large deck .

Nice video you no what they say nothing run like a deer 😂

[@Lagerslawn]

It’s been a good mower but I’d like to try a few other brands

[@NOEXCUSESONLYSOLUTIONSTV]

Why you you block the grass from shooting out?

[@Lagerslawn]

Hey thanks for commenting! I had intentions on using it for chopping up leaves but it is no longer attached. The shoot is open again

​​@@Lagerslawnnice video I have a jd 48" zero turn mower but I have a problem with this almost since brand new,so this thing can't cut less that 3 inch high because the belt will go out of the pulleys and get broken(It happened twice)I took to my local jd shop but they said "sorry we can't do nothing" so sometimes I need to cut the grass less than 3" high maybe 2", 2 1/2 high like others brands mowers can do,anyways....I paid around $3,500 two years ago but I I'm thinking to sell it for because I can't find the solution for this😢 any suggestions please.

@@DavidHernandez-ue4fz David, my suggestion is to set your deck down to desired height ,3 to 2 1/2 inches. Then take a good look at what the belt maybe rubbing on. Check the shieves and clutch shieve for any rough areas. Check the routing of the belt for any area that might be rubbing and also belt guide that might be rubbing. When you lower your deck down, maybe the belt is stretching and rubbing on something. Check for paint that is rubbing off around shrouds and guides or anything that might be in the belts route. Also, grass clipping packed in around the shieves will cause the belt to crack. Hope that helps you out.

That other storage space, you can put your weed in the there😂😂😂😂😂

Have the exact Mower purchased in 2022 brand new and the front wheel snapped off at the frame and the other one is cracked also ..77 hours on mine..smh

[@Lagerslawn]

Dang! I wonder if warranty could help any?? Were you mowing when the wheel snapped off??

[@kevinspathelf9471]

@Lagerslawn yes luckily it's still under warranty..I literally just took it from storage and mowed 5 minutes on the flat when it occurred

[@beaulindemann7392]

No way a 335 lasted 500 hours, it is weakest shittiest john deer zero turn ever mad, I believe 535R would last that long, I have no clue how you got 500 hours out of a 335 wow 🤔

[@Lagerslawn]

It’s an entry level zero turn mower designed for homeowner use but it was an upgrade from my tractor style Husqvarna. Was fortunate enough to begin this season with a new mower. I used this z335e for 3 seasons and have used it a couple of times this year for rougher properties. I like the z335e and for the price I couldn’t complain. It’s got 560 hours on it now.

I know a guy that used a z225 with the small Briggs and Stratton for his business about 10-15 years ago and it served him well.

[@1marlojenkins125]

It's all about proper maintaining. I have close to 500 hours on mine.

[@Lagerslawn]

@@1marlojenkins125 just used mine again today for an acre and it did a good job!

[@donaldales7739]

The reason your replacing the blade to blade belt often, is because your not blowing the grass out around the shieves and belt. That gets grass clipping packed in and causes the belt to crack. Blow it down everytime your done mowing and that belt will last. My z665 I have over 700 hrs and never replaced either belt yet.
