The John Deere WG36A self propelled ‘push’ lawn mower is a big when you consider walk behind lawn mowers. However it uses the same engine as the John Deere WG32A lawnmower. This is the FS481V Kawasaki engine that produces 16 hp. The twin cylinder engine has a displacement of 0.603 liters. The fuel tank supplying gasoline to this engine can hold up to 22 liters (5.8 liters) which would indicate that this machine is often used by commercial contractors and crews who don’t want to waste time constantly refilling it during the day. This power is transferred to the wheels through a 5 speed gearbox, giving the JD WG36A a top speed of 8.7 kph (5.4 mph).

The wheels on the John Deere WG36A are fairly large which gives good traction without digging into the ground too much. They measure 13×6.5-6 (13 inch diameter, 6.5 inch width, 6 inch rim diameter).

The cutting deck on the John Deere WG36A is constructed from a single continuous sheet of pressed 7 gauge steel which means that the likelihood of it cracking or getting damaged is much lowered than a mower deck that has been welded or bolted together. The JD WG36A can handle a serious amount of grass thanks to it’s deep deck. The discharge chute on the mower has been raised and is wider that you would normally find on a mower deck this size so as to distribute the clippings over a wider area. The belt driven mower deck has a cutting width of 36 inches, but obviously it’s total width is larger than this due to the discharge flap that is located at the side of it. If you need a bigger self propelled lawn mower from JD, then you should take a look at the John Deere WG48A self propelled mower.
