John Deere mowers to feature Michelin X Tweel Turf

Mowers equipped with the tires will be available at GIE+EXPO this month.


CARY, N.C. – Landscape professionals can be among the first to buy a John Deere ZTrak 900 Series zero-turn mower equipped with the Michelin X Tweel Turf at GIE+EXPO 2015. The airless radial tire virtually eliminates tire downtime and is nearly maintenance free. It offers uniform cut quality, enhanced operator comfort, and increased productivity.

“John Deere experts will be on hand to take and process orders, but we encourage contractors to reserve their ZTrak today as quantities are limited, and the next purchase opportunity won’t be until 2016,” said Nick Minas, product manager, John Deere Commercial Mowing.
 
The Michelin X Tweel Turf is an airless radial tire sold exclusively for John Deere ZTrak 900 Series models with 54-, 60- and 72-inch deck sizes. Unlike traditional pneumatic tires, the Michelin X Tweel Turf virtually eliminates tire downtime and is nearly maintenance free.
 
Landscape professionals can experience greater performance, increased uptime and a lower cost of ownership with the Michelin X Tweel Turf. It offers uniform cut quality, enhanced operator comfort, and increased productivity. Because the Michelin X Tweel Turf is an airless radial tire, it minimizes the cost and time spent on repairs and maintenance. 
 
The X Tweel Turf has the same dimensions and bolt pattern as a standard 24x12x12 tire, and features automotive rubber technology, allowing the tread to last up to three times longer than standard turf tires.
 
A John Deere ZTrak 900 Series mower equipped with the Michelin X Tweel Turf is an eligible purchase within the GreenFleetTM Loyalty Rewards program. The industry-exclusive loyalty program from John Deere is designed to help customers manage their equipment more easily and cost-effectively.
 
New machines ordered at the show will be delivered to contractors by Dec. 31, 2015. Visit www.JohnDeere.com/GIE for more information.
