From the operator's platform to the mower deck, John Deere QuikTrak© Mowers have a compact and functional design:
Whether mowing hills or on level terrain, trimming or mowing straight-away, the operator of a John Deere QuikTrak is able to affect the performance of the machine with their body:
John Deere QuikTrak Mowers are designed, tested, and manufactured to provide the best commercial mowing machines available:
A well-designed mower deck can make the difference between just getting the job done and getting eye-catching results. The 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) fabricated mower deck delivers an even higher quality of cut in even more diverse conditions to enhance mowing performance.
Key features of the fabricated mower deck include:
The wide-discharge opening and raised deflector provide even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
Caster wheels with flat-free tires contribute to a smooth, even cutting job:
Anti-scalp rollers are double-captured for durability. They enable the deck to float over the ground and provide a smooth, level cut on even the most challenging terrain.
The QuikTrak is equipped with a floating mower deck that offers several advantages over a fixed mower deck:
Mower cutting height can be set from 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) to 5 in. (12.7 cm) in 0.25-in. (0.64-cm) increments:
Mower deck shields are easy to remove for access to the drive belt and other service points.
Optional mulching attachment and special mulching blades are available:
A commercial-quality, 23.5-hp (17.5-kW) at 3600 rpm, air-cooled engine powers the QuikTrak© Mower:
The engine is equipped with a replaceable oil filter for longer engine life.
Engine oil fill/check tube, oil filter, and oil drain are located close together for easy and convenient service.
Quality fuel-system components enhance performance and convenience:
A fuel gauge is conveniently located to keep the operator informed about the amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
A fuel shut-off valve is provided. It should be turned off whenever the QuikTrak© Mower is not in use.
A high-quality fuel filter is located where it easy to access and change.
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.

Single-tank or dual-tank brackets (depending on the vehicle) are provided for securely holding the propane tank(s) to the vehicle.
Propane tanks are not included.
An optional altitude kit is required when operating at altitudes above 2000 ft (610 m). The operatorâs manual with the propane conversion kit provides further details. Parts must be ordered separately through John Deere Parts.

The 52-in. (132-cm) Mulch On Demand attachment for the QuikTrak™ 652R and 652R EFI Mowers enhances versatility and productivity. A mower deck equipped with Mulch On Demand not only does an excellent job of mulching, it can also be quickly converted electronically to side-discharging material:
A QuikTrak 652R equipped with the Mulch On Demand attachment delivers unprecedented levels of productivity and versatility to commercial mower operations.
A convenient, dash-mounted switch provides operators the ability to change between side discharging and mulching.
A dependable electric linear actuator is used to close and open the mulching baffles and discharge gate. The mower deck can easily be converted from a wide-open side-discharge mode to a fully-chambered mulching mode or any position between by activating the switch.
Heavy-duty mulch and discharge baffles open and close easily with the touch of a switch.
When the discharge gate and mulch baffles are in the closed position, three separate blade chambers are created for optimum mulching performance.
Advantages of Mulch On Demand include:
