2021 John Deere Z720E Zero Turn Mower Review and Walkaround

[@57FT]

This is probably one of the best most detailed and clear videos I’ve seen on these mowers. Thank you for not just throwing something together quickly but rather taking time to do it right. Just purchased one of these in the 54” and I’m ecstatic about it!

[@dalebrames5573]

Looks like a quality machine. Very knowledgeable on the mower. One of the best reviews I’ve seen. Great video

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you! Comments like these are what keep me going! Thanks for watching!

[@GeorgiaShootersGroup]

Your videos, info and presentation are very good. Better than any other I've found. I just bought a 720E and this helped me greatly.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and I am glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@autocad_junkie]

I have the 2020 version of this mower and I love it. I really enjoy all of your videos. Very professional and informative. Keep up the good work!

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you! Comments like these are the reason we keep going! Thanks for watching!

[@realrural7876]

This is a great mower. I have owned one for 2 years. I bought mine after watching some of your videos. Thank you for all of the great info.

[@WesternEquipment]

I agree about the mower for sure. I am glad you are enjoying it and thank you for watching!

[@YesThatPrettyGirL]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! This video was extremely helpful 👀 I’ll be bringing this brand new beauty on her first trip tomorrow. Sending u lots of ❤ and happy mowing from the grassier areas of N’awlins 😊

[@bigcountryreviews6551]

John deere need to go ahead and hire you to do there videos..they are straight to the point and not all filler and bullshit 🙄 like john deere videos

[@WesternEquipment]

Thanks for the compliment! Glad you like them. We try and do our best to prepare for each video so there isn’t much filler.

[@dennysisk1100]

Gotta love John Deere planning on getting one this year

[@WesternEquipment]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

[@Dale37]

I commented on your Z545R video about me getting a z530m but that deal fell through. I edited the previous comment to explain what happened. I ended up at a different dealer that had this mower and a z545R. It was a tough choice but I used the money saved going with the z545R over the z720e and got the 7 year warranty and a mulching kit. It was a very tough decision between the two but I am more then happy with my choice.

[@WesternEquipment]

Awesome! I am glad you are happy with your choice!

[@eltonpham2165]

Can you do a video on how to change the deck belt on this mower? I have the same mower with the 54” deck.

[@jeromeedwards5271]

Very good job! I bought this model after watching this review. I was on the fence with two other makes. This is a heavy-duty 'residential' model for sure. Note: I didn't buy from this dealer because of my location. Well worth the money if you are looking for a long-term investment.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thank you and I hope you enjoy your mower! Thanks for watching!

[@vincentvanpaepeghem4844]

Great video Brent! Lots of great information! Love your videos! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day! 🚜

[@WesternEquipment]

Thanks Vincent! We really appreciate your support!

[@LandryMarrs-zm9tg]

Hey! For the trans axle, I see the hydraulic reservoir but where is the hydraulic oil filter?????

[@WesternEquipment]

It should be tucked behind the left rear wheel.

[@kylebaker4526]

Are the X700 models on you upcoming list of reviews? Preferably the X758?

[@WesternEquipment]

Hopefully! We do not get very many of the X700's but when/if we do I will definitely get something put out on them. Thanks for watching!

[@frankeem3820]

Those transaxle releases will work very well in my situation when I get it stuck in the mud. I use the rear hitch to pull a heavy lawn roller. Not that you care about knowing these things.🤠

[@WesternEquipment]

Hey, I love hearing any and all comments. Thanks for interacting and for watching!

[@vinnybarbareno6711]

Just got the z720e that sungun is awesome,.. great video 👍

[@WesternEquipment]

They are pretty sweet! I hope you enjoy your new machine and thanks for watching!

[@keithnavarro2930]

Have you done a video on deck removal for blade replacement? Another great video.

[@WesternEquipment]

Not yet but it will be coming soon! Stay tuned!

[@Will-tm5bj]

And here I thought I had a briggs🤣🤣🤣 I love this mower. I can't wait for thr grass to grow

[@WesternEquipment]

Haha! Glad we could get you the right info! And we are just as ready as you are. We are ready to start mowing some acres again!

[@yendor33x]

I have this exact mower - Z720e. It's a great mower. Can someone tell me what part number for seat cover that fits this 21 inch highback seat?

[@WesternEquipment]

It looks like John Deere is either out of stock of them or hasn’t released one yet to fit the Z700’s. I will try to keep looking and put something out there when one is available. Thanks for watching!

[@cb7pwn]

Had mine for 245 hrs ish. Good overall machine. I have a mulching kit with the 54" deck, as I cut suburban / country properties. Cuts beautifully, but the 23 hp motor just isn't up to the task for very thick lawns for mulching, requires 2 or more passes to make a pro quality cut, which costs time... Built like a tank tho. The major downside is that the machine will not reverse equally, the dealer checked it out and said everything was "in spec".... So I can only back up straight at half speed.. Other than that and the 1 or 2 hp it lacks, it's a good overall machine

[@barakobama8194]

Just bought a z740r with tweels. Was considering the 720e but your video of the 740r sold it for me.

[@WesternEquipment]

Awesome! I'm glad I could help and thank you for watching!

[@msclecarcrzy]

I have the Z740R and love it. Great machine and heavy built. I am impressed with the new Z5 series redesign! If I was buying today I would get the Z530R or Z545R because I like a gas gauge.

[@WesternEquipment]

The redesign was definitely much needed on the Z5’s but I think you made an excellent choice with the Z740R! Thanks for watching!

[@harryerhart5978]

Hey buddy I heard JD has a tweel to fit my ztrac 920m 48" deck probably a hub change? Maybe you did take care 🙂

[@WesternEquipment]

Unfortunately I am still not seeing a Tweel that is the correct size for the Z920M 48" deck. Even when looking on their sizing chart and list of mowers they fit they do not have them.

[@harryerhart5978]

Thanks

[@jua7265]

Where specifically are the fuel tanks located on the 2021 z700 series? John Deere technical info nor the owners manual show an exploded view or comment on this. I’m intertest in knowing if they have moved the center of gravity high or low. I have as much as 25-27º at points and regularly 5-15º, so stability is important. And along those lines would it be possible to make this series dualized rear wheels?

[@WesternEquipment]

It is a single 8 gallon tank that is located in the middle of the mower directly under the seat. and as far as making it dualized I am not sure. I don't know how well the transaxles would handle that as I have never seen it done before.

[@jua7265]

@@WesternEquipment Thanks for the reply. I really appreaciate it. Very Helpful.

[@sidallen685]

What’s the biggest Kawasaki (HP) rating can you get on this mower?

[@WesternEquipment]

If you move up to the Z730M the HP goes to 24.

[@dankruger2890]

i like the step on deck. that helps alot

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes it really does, it’s a nice feature for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@corbettharris4583]

Is there a mulch kit or chute block available for this model

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes, there are Mulch Control kits for any size of deck on this mower. This kit will allow you to easily open and close the chute to quickly change from side discharging to mulching. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@winstonpatton9682]

I have the 54-inch I bought it to take some pressure off my Kubota 726x

[@WesternEquipment]

Interesting! So which mower do you like better?

[@bret9741]

Nice mower... (1). I’m 5’10”. I always need arm rests and having them adjustable is huge (2) the auto parking brake is really really nice. All Deere Z series should have auto brake switches. (3) battery location, finally... although I feel like this is a “back to the future” moment. All our old tractors had a similar feature. It was mounted next to the driver seat next to the fender. (4). Cut out spots for switches is a good thing What I’d like to see added. (1). Work with Line-X and have the mower deck coated with Line-X. Both on the inside and outside. line-x wan make it the same color. (2) an electric adjustable stripping kit (3) mulching kit electronic vs manual. (4) lights front / side / rear along with flashing warning light.

[@WesternEquipment]

Thanks for the comment! I think those are some great ideas so I will try to pass them along. Thanks for watching!

[@bladegsd3008]

Great video. They say complete removal of the deck from the Z720E is relatively easy - is that true? Maybe you could do a quick video ... :)

[@WesternEquipment]

This is on the list to do soon so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!

[@cadeallbright9146]

I have never heard of a Z365r till yesterday at trigreen in cullman alabama

[@WesternEquipment]

Yes, they are brand new to 2021 and as soon as I can get my hands on one I will do a video over it! So stay tuned!

[@cadeallbright9146]

Why was it added if there was a 355r

[@WesternEquipment]

It has some new features like the 30 Second Oil Change. Can't wait to get a video out and show you guys all about it.

[@MrJohndeere3720]

now thats more 2 my liking :) do u plan doing vids on those deere windrowers?

[@WesternEquipment]

Glad you liked it. Yes, hopefully soon we will be diving into some more large ag equipment.

[@WesternEquipment]

Nice video price range e m and r ?

[@WesternEquipment]

They range roughly from $6500-$9500 depending on model and deck size. Thanks for watching!

John Deere does not have enough leg room I’m 510 I’m on one all day I have a cub cadet I can stretch legs out fully

[@WesternEquipment]

I know this is a concern for people but it seems like they are slowly working on that. Thanks for watching!

[@jennyestrada5557]

No lo pude ver en tu video

[@WesternEquipment]

¡Gracias por ver!

[@steveyantis3356]

3100 series trans very weak for a mid level mower. Deere should of used at least the 3400. Oh wait maybe they used them in the 9 series.

[@WesternEquipment]

The transmissions do go up when you get to the Z9 series but we have had no issues with the transmissions in the Z7's so far. Thanks for watching!

[@woofy548]

JD really cheaped out on the seat. The springs are worthless. This is another example that you're paying more for the green paint. This is also why JD doesn't compete with the big names in commercial mowers.

[@WesternEquipment]

You have to keep in mind that this is the "E" series, which means it is the base model for this lineup. You can jump up into an "M" or "R" and get into a better seat, This is also just the high end residential mower. The Z900's are the true commercial mowers. Thanks for your concerns and thanks for watching!

[@dankruger2890]

its a hard decision between John Deere and Bobcat. John Deere is adding the little things

[@Will-tm5bj]

I got this model last summer after two seasons of push mowing about an acre and a half when my other rider went out. I cut more than i was before in about 45-60 minutes vs 7 hours pushing. This machine is a grass cutting monster. I would buy it again

[@WesternEquipment]

If you’re torn I would suggest test driving them both. Let the machine make your decision! Thanks for watching!
