What Are The Features and Benefits of 4WD John Deere Lawn Tractors?

Full-Time Operation: The 4WD system on these models engages automatically when you start the engine and provides continuous four-wheel traction without compromising maneuverability. The system automatically adjusts front wheel speeds during turns to prevent turf damage while maintaining traction.

Hydrostatic Drive: All three 4WD models feature hydrostatic front-wheel motors powered by the same pressurized hydraulic fluid that drives the rear transaxle — providing seamless power delivery to all four wheels.

Four-Wheel Drive Traction Benefits:

  • Mowing on slopes and hills

  • Operating in wet or slippery conditions

  • Snow removal and winter operations

  • Pulling heavy attachments
