2024 John Deere Z315E

Premium engine is powerful, reliable, and durable

A 20-hp (14.9-kW) V-twin engine provides plenty of power and torque to handle tough mulching, mowing, and bagging conditions:

• V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
• Engine model M40
• Electronic ignition for fast starts
• Cast-iron sleeves for longer engine life
• Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy

• Easy access to the no-tools oil drain valve for oil changes
• Rear engine guard for protecting the engine and providing additional strength and integrity
