Unlike many privately used mowing tractors, fleet-owned units like this typically receive routine inspections, preventative maintenance, and consistent operator care.

With just 3,326 original hours, a factory cab with heat and air conditioning, proven John Deere diesel power, and a complete flail mowing setup, this machine is ready to go directly to work.
If you're searching for a dependable roadside mowing tractor, pasture maintenance tractor, ditch mowing setup, or municipality-ready utility tractor, this is a hard package to duplicate.
