","history":"The John Deere Z655 EZTRAK was part of the Z600 series of zero-turn mowers introduced to provide residential customers with a blend of performance and value. It built upon previous models by offering a more powerful engine and a wider cutting deck. The Z655 aimed to fill a gap in the lineup for homeowners needing more than a basic residential mower but not requiring a commercial-grade machine.","maintenanceTips":"

Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck and drive belts for wear, cracks, or fraying. Replace belts every 200-300 hours or as needed to maintain optimal performance.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen or replace mower blades every 25-50 hours of use, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear grass, leading to brown tips and increased susceptibility to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours and the air filter every 25 hours, or more frequently in dusty conditions. Clean filters improve engine performance and extend engine life.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your Z655 EZTRAK for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, change the oil and filter, and lubricate all grease fittings. This will prevent fuel system problems and ensure easy starting in the spring.
