The John Deere WG48A walk behind lawn mower is far bigger than the likes of the John Deere WG32A or the John Deere WG36A self propelled lawn mowers. The most obvious reason for this is the huge mower deck that the JD WG48A has. This is a 48 inch mowing deck that has been constructed from 7 gauge steel which makes it very unlikely to buckle or get seriously damaged even it hits something at speed during operation. The height of the mower deck can be easily adjusted so that you always get the final grass height that you want.

The mower deck on the John Deere WG48A has 2 coats of paint to further add to it’s long lifespan and prevent corrosion. You will also notice that the lip of the mower deck on the JD WG48A has been reinforced to prevent buckling, bending or deformation. The blades housed within the mower deck are made from hardened steel and so remain sharper for longer.

The engine powering the wheels and blades is a Kawasaki FS481V gasoline engine that provides the machine with 16 hp and allows the John Deere WG48A lawn mower to attain a maximum speed of 8.7 kph (5.4 mph). The total weight of the JD WG48A comes to 215.5 kg (475 lbs). If you are the owner or previous (or have operated) a WG48A, then please leave a review of it below to let others know what they should expect from it. Try to describes both it’s good points and it’s bad points so that people can make up their own minds as to whether they should purchase one or not.
