Start with the mowing job

Shopping for a mower and identifying a machine you already own are different tasks. For a purchase, start with the areas you cut, access restrictions, deck configuration, and the exact machine's operating guidance. For parts or service, start with the model and identification record.

The existing articles below include model and historical pages. An archive entry is not confirmation of current availability or the right configuration for your property.

John Deere X950R 25.2-HP Lawn Tractor

The John Deere X950R is a diesel mower with rear discharge and rear collection. Before comparing a used machine or buying service parts, identify its engine, rear deck and collector. A photograph or a “25.2 hp” heading does not establish all three. Deere documents the X950R with 48-inch (122 cm) and 54-inch (137 cm) rear…

Compare the setup, not just the deck width

Use this worksheet to decide what information to collect next. It does not select a model or establish that a machine is suitable for a slope.

Keep cutting width separate from access width

Write down the clear opening at gates and storage entrances. Then ask for the machine's overall dimensions in the configuration being supplied, including its discharge or collection equipment. A cutting-width label is not a complete access measurement. Check the manual before assuming a component may be folded or removed.

Separate equipment from accessories

Record whether the quote includes the deck, bagging or mulching equipment, installation, and delivery. An accessory shown in a photograph is not enough to establish what the seller supplies. For accessory research, use the John Deere attachments archive; verify the exact machine-and-attachment combination before ordering.

Turn missing information into the next question

Have two quotes? The Offer Scope Check in Buying Guides helps identify missing or different descriptions. It compares the information supplied, not mower performance or value.

Already own the machine? Use the Parts Request Brief in Parts & Maintenance to prepare the details a parts supplier needs. It does not certify a part number or fit.

For model-specific documentation, use the . Match the publication to the machine and configuration rather than relying on the model name alone.
