The John Deere WG32A self propelled, walk behind lawnmower is quite a beast. It’s really not your average ‘push’ lawnmower, especially when you consider the size of it’s engine. The engine powering the JD WG32A boasts a whopping 16 hp. This is a FS481V engine designed and built by Kawasaki. The twin cylinder engine has a displacement of 0.603 liters and operates at 3600 RPM. Before entering the combustion chamber where it mixes with the fuel, the air intake is cleaned through a dual element air filter. The engine is air cooled.

Power from the engine is routed to the wheels through a 5 speed gearbox (and it has one speed for reversing). This gives the John Deere WG32A a top speed of 8.7 kph (5.4 mph) when traveling forwards which will make for a workout just trying to keep up with it! The fuel tank which supplies gasoline to the engine is capable of holding 22 liters (5.8 US gallons) which means that you could practically use it all day long without needing to refill it.The JD WG32A tips the scales at 215.5 kg (475 lbs) which may seem heavy for a walk behind mower.

But do remember that the mower deck on the John Deere WG32A is pretty big. It has a cutting width of 32 inches, which is as big as some ride on lawnmowers. The mower deck is belt driven and consists of 2 blades. The mower deck is similar to the ones you’ll find on ride on lawn mowers as it can be adjusted from as low as 1.5 inches above the ground to 4 inches above the ground. If you would prefer something a little bigger, then take a look at the John Deere WG36A, but if that doesn’t take your fancy, then the John Deere 7G18 might be right for you.
