Product Features
The 24 HP V-Twin paired with a full-size Accel Deep™ deck at this price is the reason owners choose the Z515E over box-store zero-turns. It is what you feel on every hill, every turn and every hour of the season.
The deck pulls grass upright and cuts it clean instead of pushing it over, then throws clippings far and evenly at 8 mph. Cutting heights from 1 – 4 in., 1/4-in. increments, plus optional one-touch MulchControl™.
Twin lap levers put the deck exactly where you want it. Pivot around trees, hug flower beds and finish the edge in one pass, so your string trimmer stays on the wall.
Your Z515E arrives fully assembled on a liftgate truck anywhere in the lower 48 at no cost. Roll it off, check the levels and mow the same day — backed by a 4-Yr / 300-Hr warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Z515E replaced an old lawn tractor and the difference is night and day. The 24 HP V-Twin paired with a full-size Accel Deep™ deck at this price makes it feel like a far more expensive machine, and the cut on my 2 – 4 acres is better than what my lawn service was giving me.

I time my mows. What used to take three hours is well under half that now, and the finish looks better. It never bogs down, even in thick spring grass.

Free freight, liftgate, fully assembled. I checked the levels and was cutting an hour after the truck left. Support answered my one question by text in about five minutes.

My 2 – 4 acres used to take a full Saturday morning on a lawn tractor. The Z515E does the same yard in a fraction of the time at 8 mph — the 48-, 54- or 60-in. Accel Deep™ deck leaves a clean, even cut with no re-passes.

The 24 HP V-Twin paired with a full-size Accel Deep™ deck at this price is exactly why I picked the Z515E over the cheaper competition. After a full season it still feels tight, no rattles, no belt issues, no deck scalping.

Zero-turn steering plus the 48-, 54- or 60-in. Accel Deep™ deck means I get right up to my flower beds and around the trees without a string trimmer follow-up. Saves me 20 minutes every single mow.
— Tom R. · Findlay, OH · 1 month ago · Verified
Showed up on a liftgate truck, fully assembled, oil and battery ready. Rolled it off, read the manual, and was mowing in under an hour. Zero hassle.
— Sandra P. · Ocala, FL · 2 months ago · Verified
The 24 HP (17.9 kW) V-Twin fires up on the first turn of the key, cold mornings included. Smooth, no surging, and it holds RPM in thick spring grass without bogging.
— Keith B. · Tyler, TX · 2 months ago · Verified
The 48-, 54- or 60-in. Accel Deep™ deck throws grass a long way and lays down real stripes. Even in heavy wet grass it doesn't clump if I take it a notch slower.
— Angela D. · Rome, GA · 2 months ago · Verified
Seat, lever position and foot area are all well thought out. Two hours on the Z515E and I'm not sore. My old zero-turn beat me up after 45 minutes.
— Russell K. · Kearney, NE · 3 months ago · Verified
I priced the orange and red brands. For what the Z515E includes at this price — and the warranty — Deere won. Resale value on these is also in a different league.
— Priya N. · Cary, NC · 3 months ago · Verified
I have a couple of moderate grades. Taking them across rather than up and down, the Z515E stays planted and predictable. No sliding, no scary moments.
— Frank M. · Hudson, WI · 3 months ago · Verified
First time on a zero-turn. Took me about 15 minutes in the open part of the yard to get smooth with the levers. Now I'd never go back to a steering wheel.
