John Deere E-Cut 8500 - Manual (Page 5)

By equalizing right and left pressure, just like a greens mower, the steering system on all
John Deere Fairway Mowers makes it much easier for an operator to hold a straight line.
Plus its linkage is the same as a John Deere Utility Tractor, so it’s rock-solid reliable.
Double-Acting Steering Cylinders.

Available on all models, this
system ensures traction on
hills and along hillsides by
transferring hydraulic fl ow
from the wheels that slip to
those with grip.
PATENTED CUT QUALITY

pressure and rear-attaching
point maintain cutting units at
a consistent height of cut, plus
prevent unsightly “waves” in
the turf.
COMMAND ARM ™
Combo armrest/control center
keeps all vital functions (like
lights, lift/lower lever, PTO,
throttle and optional cruise
control) within easy reach.
