We used our most advanced
tools to design these mowers.
Our ears.

Listening has provided us more engineering insights than any

computer simulation or prototype. In fact improvements like

shifting front cutting units to change your width of cut,

straight-tracking steering, and quick adjusting reels were fi rst

suggested by golf maintenance professionals. Then, fi ne-tuned

by superintendents and technicians on their home courses all

over the world. The result of giving experts like you a voice in

our designs speaks for itself: Exceptional effi ciency, comfort

and strength built into every machine.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE.
ALL THE TIME.

By automatically shifting hydraulic
fl ow to wheels that need it most,
the GRIP AWD system never gives
you a moment of doubt.

POWER FOR THE HILLS.

Highest horsepower in its class
under the hood. 37.1 hp* on the
7400, and 26.4 hp* on the 7200.

Gives you the power to tackle even

At last, the flexibility to

of your course.

Mowing tree lines, bunker edges and surrounds is

easier than ever. Just by fl ipping a switch you can

adjust your width of cut and independently shift

cutting units right or left to fi nish these time-

consuming areas, pronto. (There’s no need to get

off the mower or make lift arm changes.)

This kind of super-fl exible thinking doesn’t stop

there. These mowers’ cutting units feature an

extended travel to follow the contours of your

course better—to reduce scalping the top of

tough mounds and undulations.

Try one on your course. And shift your expecta-

tions of what a trim mower can do.

WIDTH ON DEMAND.

On side hills and in areas that require
more turning, instantly reduce the cutting
width for increased cutting unit overlap
to reduce the possibility of uncut grass
between the cutting units.

REACH TRIMMING SYSTEM.

Push button trimming. Just extend the
right or left cutting unit to the side and
you can trim out bunkers closer than
ever before while keeping the traction
unit away from the bunker wall.

2653B

PrecisionCut

A reel mower to rely on.

With new QA7 Quick Adjust reels especially designed for lush, dense turf, a smooth hydraulic drive

system for surprisingly even traction, excellent contour-following, and high power-to-weight ratio,

the all-around 2653B can guarantee a pristine cut anywhere on your course.

FULL-TIME ALL-WHEEL DRIVE.

Proven system provides exceptional
climbing power. The GRIP AWD system
provides hydraulic fl ow from the wheels
that slip to the wheels with grip.

QUIET CONFIDENCE.

A 19.6-horsepower* engine with sound-reducing
rubber isolators and responsive traction provide
sure operation on the course.

8800

TerrainCut

Cut like a diamond in
the rough. And almost
as strong.

Strength

The mower decks on the 8800 are stamped from

10-gauge steel, enclosed for protection within a

frame that carries the load when mowing, and

guarded by a front-mounted skid plate.

Fast height-of-cut adjustment

All of this strength and protection enables

easiest-in-class height-of-cut adjustment that

requires no tools at all to quickly change

Make the morning rough hour go quicker.

The 8800 is fast, and fl awless. Five deep 21-inch, double-pivoting rear-discharge
rotary decks follow ground contour and vacuum up grass for a clean cut. High­displacement front and rear wheel motors, and GRIP All-Wheel Drive give it
the power to take on the ups and downs of your course. And a double-acting
steering cylinder makes holding a line effortless.

GRIP AWD.

Responsive GRIP All-Wheel Drive helps maintain
consistent fl ow to all wheels for changing course
terrain. By directing fl ow from a front wheel mo-
tor to the opposite rear wheel it provides excellent
traction in the ups and downs of rough mowing.

POWER TO SPARE.

A 43.1-horsepower* turbo-charged diesel
engine with an intercooler easily generates
enough power to cut the densest turf.

cutting height.

Exceptional cut quality

Thanks to lost motion cylinders, mower decks

can react quicker to changes in the terrain and

hug the ground.

Using our new reels is
the easiest adjustment
you’ll ever make.

The new Quick Adjust reels on the 7200
PrecisionCut and 2653B PrecisionCut adjust
quickly, and keep settings longer. Thanks to a
revolutionary Speed Link system that makes it
possible to adjust height-of-cut to both sides of
the cutting unit in no time. A linking bar connects
both sides of the rear roller to a high-reduction
ratio worm gear, allowing one-thousandth–
of-an-inch adjustments to be made to both
sides of the roller simultaneously just by using
a power drill. (And besides the dramatic time
savings this represents, the worm gear makes
it almost impossible for the setting to change out
on the course.) The reel-to-bedknife adjustment
on the QA7 is completed quickly by using a
notch-based system. The reel adjustment requires
only to turn the adjuster tower to adjust your
cut with one notch moving the reel one half
thousandth of an inch. In almost every way
possible, these reels set a new standard. One
you’ll fi nd very easy to get used to.

Reel options:

REAR ROLLER POWER BRUSH (26-INCH QA7 ONLY)

Prevents accumulation of grass clippings and other
debris on the rear roller, maintaining a consistently
effective height of cut.

FAIRWAY TENDER™ CONDITIONER (26-INCH QA7 ONLY)

Slices stolons, controls grain, and delivers a truer
playing surface and consistently effective height of
cut. Choice of 54 mm or 60 mm diameter blades.
Gear-driven for durability and consistent cutting.

Comfortable to run. Simple to maintain.

A comfortable operator
equals better results.

Features like adjustable suspension seats,

extra legroom, and well-located controls are

necessities when it comes to doing a good

job. They allow an operator to focus on the

task at hand, and perform at a higher level.

Take the steering system on the 7200, 7400

and 8800. With minimal effort, it allows

striping a rough or trim area just like a

green or fairway. It’s just one of dozens of

conveniences fi rst suggested to us by crew

members themselves.

CLEAR SIGHT LINES.

Cutting well depends on seeing
where you’re cutting. The
geometry of every John Deere
rough, trim and surrounds mower
maximizes visibility.

STRAIGHTER STEERING.

A unique double-acting steering
cylinder equalizes left and right
pressure, so it’s easier to hold a
straight line.

HANDY CONTROLS.

Every model (except 2653B) is equipped with a well­placed CommandArm that positions all vital controls
and diagnostics right at the operator’s fi ngertips.

ERGONOMIC TRANSMISSIONS.

Wide-spaced, low-effort transmission pedals
work with the natural motion and placement of
an operator’s foot.

Designed with the
technician in mind.

COOLER, MORE
RELIABLE OPERATION.

All John Deere rough, trim and
surrounds mowers have front­mounted radiators to draw clean
air, greatly improving cooling
effi ciency and reducing cleaning
needs compared to rear-mounted
radiators.

DIAGNOSTICS MADE EASY.

White box control modules on all
mowers enable rapid, accurate
identifi cation of any service issues.

The servicing features on these mowers read

right out of a technician’s wish list. No sur-

prise. They were originally on one. It’s the

techs themselves who tipped us off on the

need for instant LED diagnostics, tilt-out

hydraulic oil coolers, and easy access daily

service points.

TALK ABOUT ALL ACCESS.

No cramped spaces or less-than-clear layouts to
work around, ever. That’s real-world reliability.

SHARE PARTS AND SHRINK INVENTORY.

All our reel cutting units share many common
components, reducing the need for you to maintain
a large parts inventory. The 2653 and 7200 actually
use the same cutting unit for both traction units.
