  • PTO must be disengaged
  • Ignition key must be used.

In addition, once the engine is running, an interlock automatically shuts the engine and PTO off if the operator leaves the seat. To keep the engine running, the operator must disengage the PTO and set the parking brake before dismounting.

Since 1998 the John Deere 7-Iron™ mower deck has demonstrated commercial quality, performance, and durability. The 7-Iron PRO, Fastback™, and V-Flex mower decks deliver an even higher-quality cut in even more diverse conditions.

  • Blade tip speed of 18,000 fpm (5486 m/min) for more blade strikes per inch mowed.
  • Redesigned front baffle manages airflow and controls clippings better.
  • Blade spindle housings are made of ductile cast iron
    • Gusseted design puts reinforcement where it is needed.
  • Spindle pocket reinforcement gives even greater structural durability.
  • Adjustable anti-scalp wheels help smooth out the mowing job.
  • Standard semi-pneumatic caster tires will not go flat from punctures.

The mower is designed to provide exceptional cut quality at higher travel speeds:

  • The mower deck is stamped from 7-gauge, 0.179-in. (4.6-mm) steel to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside, with fewer sharp corners, for reduced material buildup.
    • Provides precision components and long deck life
    • Single piece of steel means no welds to break
    • Provides a smooth underside, without corners, reducing material buildup
  • 0.75-in. (1.9-cm) solid steel bar is welded to mower deck perimeter for added strength.
  • The rounded corners of the stamped deck help distribute impact stress to reduce the potential of damage when the mower contacts trees, rocks, curbs, and other fixed obstacles.
  • A deep-deck design of 5.5-in. (14-cm) delivers excellent airflow so material can be processed quickly and efficiently.
  • 1-in. to 6-in. (2.5-cm to 12.7-cm) cutting heights, in 0.5-in. (1.3-cm) increments, allow the operator to match all mowing conditions.

Unique baffling system allows grass to stand up before being cut, producing a uniform length and appearance:

  • Baffling system eliminates clumping, blowout, and windrowing.
  • Wide discharge opening provides even clipping dispersal for an excellent, finished appearance in all conditions.

Engine hood includes large screened area:

  • Minimizes the amount of material that can get to the cooling radiators
  • Minimizes the need to clean the hood screens 

Hood latch keeps the hood securely in place, providing an optimum seal:

  • A single hood latch is located on top of the hood behind the seat.

Designed-in service accessibilityDesigned-in service accessibility

Designed-in service accessibility helps ensure daily maintenance is completed to keep the machine operating at peak performance.

 

The hood opens rearward, exposing the following:

  • Engine
  • Oil and fuel filter
  • Hydraulic oil cooler
  • Radiator check/fill

The hood can be totally removed, if necessary. The seat flips forward for access to air filter, fuse bank, engine oil dipstick, and front of engine.

The panel on the foot platform can be removed for access to the transaxle, PTO shaft, and most linkages.

 

Easy-to-read daily service decal is located on the bottom of the foot platform panel:

  • Provides access to easily hook up driveshaft when changing implements
  • Makes it more likely service will be performed at the optimum time, thus ensuring the highest level of performance and uptime

Removal of the foot platform gives convenient access to the driveshaft that powers the mower deck, snow blower and rotary broom:

  • Helps make changing from one front implement to another easier and more convenient

 Hydraulic hoses have reusable O-ring seal (ORS) fittings:

  • ORS fittings seal at a lower torque to prevent leaks.
  • Fittings can be removed from a damaged hose and installed on another hose.
  • Downtime and cost for repairs are reduced considerably.

RFS service lockout latchRFS service lockout latch

RFS feature provides access for cleaning and maintenance of the mower decks:

  • The service-latch pin allows mower deck to lock into position to ensure deck is held in position for cleaning or service.
  • The top-greaseable spindle grease fittings can be accessed without removing the belt covers. 

Front mowers must be properly ballasted for both good performance and safe operation. Ballast requirements differ depending on the front mower model and the implement being used.

The chart below gives the minimum ballast requirements for the various product configurations. Additional ballast is recommended for operating on slopes or other conditions that may warrant it.

NOTE: Use only implements and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

Noisy, Hot and Dusty

2/5

I upgraded from a 2003, 1565 front end mower to a 2017, 1585 w/cab. The 1585 mower itself is a beast and preforms well. The "comfort" cab is anything but comfortable. The loud engine noise can't escape the cab. To hear the radio the volume needs to be at about 90%. You know, when you get in your car after your teenager has been driving it! The operator needs ear protectors so you really can't hear the radio anyway. The ambient air temp around the sides of the seat is 120-130 degrees. The temperature is within a 1st degree skin burn. Good thing the air conditioner works well. It blows cool/cold air down on my sweating body. Lastly, there are so many holes in the floor and between the cab and the frame that dust inside the cab is major problem. Suggestion, wrap the particulate filter(DPF) in insulation as well the entire back and bottom of the cab.

Great, but could be greater!

5/5

I purchased this unit with the 72 inch side discharge mower and the 60 inch snowblower. I am completely satisfied with the performance of both attachments. What attracted me to this unit was the rear hydraulic grass collection system which apparently has been available in Europe for some time but not in the USA. If this system ever becomes available in the USA, it will become the ultimate lawn keepers dream! I have been patiently waiting for delivery of this system for the past 6 months and continue to be disappointed with delays.
