2024 John Deere 7200A PrecisionCut™

TechControl display maximizes performance and uptime by allowing more control in operation and diagnostics

The 9009A TerrainCut Rough Mower is equipped with five and the 7400A TerrainCut Trim and Surrounds mower is equipped with three 27-in. (68.6-cm) stamped rotary decks for superior productivity and strength. The rotary decks perform exceptionally well across a wide range of grass types, including warm- and cool-season grasses.

Rear-discharge design provides premium cut quality and dispersal for less clumping and blowing for clean up

The 9009A and 7400A TerrainCut™ Mowers 27-in. (68.6-cm) deck features a deck design with an asymmetric rear discharge cutout and molded chute to promote better airflow, leading to improved clipping dispersal and cut quality.

The unique shape of the deck shell cutout includes a heavily rounded opening on one side that gradually transitions to a larger opening on the other side of the cutout, allowing the grass to exit the deck evenly while significantly reducing the possibility of the deck congestion. This design incorporates deck structure along the bottom of the discharge area that reduces sound power, does not affect cut quality negatively, and acts as a foot guard eliminating the need for an external guard that can lead to external grass build up which can be dropped in the mowing pass over time.

When the asymmetric deck shell discharge shape is used in combination with the asymmetric discharge chute, this deck outperforms the competition in cut quality by minimizing clumping with smooth transitions and guiding the discharge material in a more dispersed pattern.

The improved dispersal will lead to less clean up and blowing, allowing machines to mow earlier in the day while saving time and reducing labor.

The proper blade selection for heights of grass, grass type, and sharp blades are keys to improved cut quality and dispersal. The removal of no more than one third of the grass blade is recommended. During heavy growth times it may require changing blades, mowing more often or raising the height of cut to improve clipping dispersal.

No-tool notch adjustment system makes height-of-cut (HOC) changes a breeze

One common element among John Deere golf mowing products, reel or rotary, is that adjustments are quick and easy. The 9009A and 7400A TerrainCut™ Mowers are no different. All HOC adjustments can be performed without tools with an innovative notch system, similar to what is included on the Quick-Adjust 5 and Quick-Adjust 7 reel cutting units.

To adjust the HOC on the 9009A and 7400A TerrainCut, pull the levers at each end of the front and rear rollers outward. With the levers pulled out, give a quick tug to disengage the teeth in the notches. This allows the rollers to rotate upward and downward freely and easily.

MORE CONTROL WITH THE TECHCONTROL DISPLAY WITH A LARGE EASY-TO-READ SCREEN

Passcode-protected TechControl display enables quickly setting or changing mowing speed, turning speed, or transport speed to limit variations in performance by different operators.

eHydro™ hydrostatic pump and large-capacity wheel motors for serious hill-climbing capabilities

The eHydro™ traction pump and wheel motors in the new A-model take performance, traction, and operation to the next level.

The new system was designed to take on the most challenging course conditions. The traction drive pump flow increased 35 percent and the wheel motors increase 17 percent in displacement over prior models. These increases to the traction system makes the A-models ideal for undulating terrain providing superior performance and traction out on the course.

The new traction system in the A-models is driven by a servo-controlled hydrostatic pump. The control of the pump is no longer mechanical linkages, but instead is electronic.

Approximately 110 parts have been eliminated from the traction drive system compared to prior models. The new design also eliminated two adjustments. Reducing the complexity of the drive system means no more linkages to adjust or repair, decreased routine maintenance, and providing reliable day-in/day-out operation.

Final Tier 4 (FT4) diesel engine offers plenty of power for mowing

Power starts with the engine, and the 7200A PrecisionCut™ Trim and Surrounds Mower has an abundance of power and performance with this FT4 solution. The 3-cylinder 24.7 hp (18.4-kW) at 3000 rpm diesel engine has a strong reputation for power and performance.

This engine provides plenty of power for climbing hills without sacrificing power to run the Quick-Adjust (QA7) 26-in. (66-cm) or 30-in. (76.2-cm) cutting units and attachments.

The air-intake system is also designed to pull clean air from the front of the machine behind the operator's seat, rather than dirty air from the rear of the machine. This improves engine performance and efficiency during those hot, dusty times of the year.

Width on demand—match the conditions with the touch of a button

Featuring both a 68-in. (172.7-cm) and 74-in. (188-cm) width of cut that can be changed with the touch of a button, the 7400A Trim and Surrounds Mower ensures that all grass in its path is cut in both flat and undulating conditions.

The narrower width of cut is recommended for undulating terrain and tight turns where more cutting overlap is required, to make sure that no uncut grass is left behind. This width expands the total cutting unit overlap to maximize cut quality by eliminating uncut strips of grass that may be caused by undulating terrain, or a layout that requires a lot of tight turns.
This exclusive feature provides a productivity boost compared to competitive equipment in the marketplace. The wider width of cut setting is recommended on flat terrain with long straight runs. This width of cut has maximum productivity with minimal overlap.

Maximum contour following for a premium quality of cut

One of the primary challenges for rough mowers is the ability to follow ground contours in a variety of terrains, from mounds to sidehills to bunkers and more. When judging cut quality, following the terrain to promote a consistent cutting height is of significant importance. The challenge has been met with the 7200A PrecisionCut™ Trim and Surrounds Mower.

By angling the operator platform, the front cutting units have even more clearance to maneuver when following undulating terrain. The cutting units also have plenty of downward travel to follow contours when cresting mounds and undulations.

For the rear cutting unit, there is plenty of clearance between the cutting unit and frame to keep the cutting unit from high centering on an undulation. This cutting unit also features plenty of downward travel to closely match the terrain being followed.

Reach Trimming System—shift out to trim around bunkers and other hard-to-reach places

Having difficulty trimming around bunkers? The 7200A PrecisionCut™ Trim and Surrounds Mower is here to help. Featuring an industry-exclusive Reach Trimming System, the 7200A reaches out to bunkers and trims around them with ease.
With the Reach Trimming System, one of the front cutting units can be shifted outward to extend the cutting unit beyond the outer edge of the tire for trimming. Shifting only the cutting unit deck helps keep the machine's center of gravity more consistent, maintaining the machine's overall stability.It is recommended to mow the outer areas around the bunker or other areas to be trimmed first, and then use the Reach Trimming System as the last pass against the area to be trimmed.
Operating the Reach Trimming System is done with ease. It is very similar to adjusting the electric mirrors in an automobile. To adjust the mirrors, there's a switch to select which mirror to adjust and another switch to adjust the direction the mirror is moved.

GRIP All-Wheel Drive Traction System moves flow from wheels that slip to those that grip

Hill-climbing power is essential with any golf course mower, and this is one area where the A-model PrecisionCut™ and TerrainCut™ Trim and Surrounds Mowers truly excel. A powerful diesel engine supplies power to the system. Combine that with a larger eHydro™ and wheel motors the GRIP all-wheel drive traction system, and the A-Model is one powerful hill-climbing machine. The new traction drive delivers 35 percent more flow from the hydrostatic pump and 17 percent more wheel torque than previous models to deliver the hill-climbing performance expected with a trim and surrounds mower.

The GRIP system transfers hydraulic flow from wheels that slip to wheels that grip. For example, if the right front wheel starts to slip, hydraulic flow goes to the left front and rear tires to maintain traction power.
The GRIP all-wheel drive traction system is standard equipment with the A-Model Trim and Surrounds Mower. It is also engaged at all times, in mow or in transport.

Double-acting, dual-rod hydraulic steering cylinder for lines as straight as on greens and fairways

Ever wanted to mow trim and surrounds areas with the same quality straight lines mowed on the fairways and greens? The double-acting, dual-rod hydraulic steering cylinder on the 7200A PrecisionCut™ Trim and Surrounds Mower does exactly that.

Using the same technology as incorporated on other PrecisionCut, E-Cut™ Hybrid, and TerrainCut™ mowers, the 7200A PrecisionCut Trim and Surrounds Mower produces high-quality straight lines through its unique steering system. 

A rod on each side of the cylinder equalizes volume and pressure on each side of the cylinder, meaning equal steering effort from side to side. And more importantly, once the cylinder is centered, it tracks as straight as an arrow. That means trim and surrounds areas can be mowed as straight as an arrow.
