The John Deere 657A Quik-Trak lawnmower is the mid range machine in the current stand on line of mowers from JD. If you are looking for something that’s not quite as wide, then check out the John Deere 647A Quik Trak, while if it’s something that’s way bigger, then you may just be interested in the John Deere 667A Quik Trak. The engine powering the JD 657A Quik Trak is an 0.675 liter Kawasaki that supplies the machine with 23 hp. This engine is air cooled and uses a full pressure lubrication system. The fuel tank on this model is capable of holding up to 22.7 liters (6 US gallons) of gasoline.

The power from the engine on the John Deere 657A Quik Trak is transferred to the wheels by first passing through the dual hydrostatic transmission. This allows each rear wheel to receive varying amounts of power. Receiving varying amounts of power is what allows the JD 657A to make zero radius turns. As this is a stand on lawnmower, having a steering wheel in front of the operator would be very cumbersome. Instead the operator uses the 2 lap bars in front of him to control how much power each rear wheel receives.

The large rear wheels on the John Deere 657A stand on lawnmower each measure 20×10-10 (20 inch diameter, 10 inch width, 10 inch rim diameter) and have a turf thread so as not to leaves visible marks on the lawn they are cutting. The area where the operator needs to stand when using this machine is lined with a 2 inch thick leaning pad which helps to reduce vibration and increase operator comfort during heavy periods of use. The pad also protects the operator from the heat produced by the engine.
