I purchased a new house last year with over five acres of field grass. The seller included an almost new x384 /48” deck. Riding that for 7 hours took 1-2 days for my neck and back, I believe it hits 5mph. Wanted to get something a little faster and better riding, and literally no JD mowers for sale anywhere, including JD and every Lowes or Home Depot around, Luckily someone put a deposit on a new Z530M. It was 2023 and $1,000 more than last year’s price but had the 300hr/4 yr warranty 54” deck with the new Kawasaki, 24 hp.motor that hits over 8 mph. My point is, it wouldn’t matter if it hit 20mph, Your top speed depends on how sharp your blades are, and how rough is the terrain. I have to sharpen my blades after 7 hrs of mowing, and I have to slow down to 3mph where it’s rough. But with the Z530M I can speed up to 8mph on straightaways, and make up time on the quick turns. But most importantly, you are comfortable driving it, and as I get older, I don’t want to torture myself every time i have to mow. My landscapers told me they charge $300 each time to mow a 5 acre field, and it has to be done 4-5 times a year, so a good mower pays for itself.
I would like to get that thing you advertised a while ago that monitors your John Deere through your smartphone but I just don't trust the government maybe tapping into it and keeping track of what you do😊😅

I don’t think you can beat a Kawasaki engine. Thanks for sharing!
Kawasaki's are the best.
Picked up one with a 60 inch deck, it’s a beast
Always love these videos👍💪
Need you to da mow an acre with a 1025r to throw in the mix.
What make was the fuel Injected engine you referred to?
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
The 545 has a Briggs EFI engine.
How does the Z530R compare to the Z730E?
Great video. My dilemma is the 530r or 720e. Decisions decisions
That is exactly what I'm trying to decide on now. Which way did you go?
