The Quik-Trak uses the 7-Iron deck, which leaves a phenomenal cut. The cut is clean and precise, with great vacuum and discharge. The 7-Iron II deck is coming out this year, which Deere claims to be even better
Durability: Rating B+
A very tough, well built machine. It has spring-loaded pulleys.
Handling and Balance: Rating B+
This machine handles very well. It is nimble and responsive. The spring-loaded platform really smoothes out the ride. Pretty good on hills, but not great.
Maintenance and Ingenuity: Rating A
The Quik-Trak is well designed. This is the only floating-deck unit that allows the operator to change the cutting height with one simple lever. This feature gives the John Deere Quik-Trak the slight advantage over the Everride and Great Dane standers.
*Note: If you are looking for a 52” or 60” stander, choose the Everride Warrior, Great Dane Super Surfer, or John Deere Quik-Trak. Any of them is a good choice due to the floating-deck and spring-loaded platform. For stander mowers under 52”, choose the Wright Warrior for its nimbleness.
