The GM10 Series Mowers come with a 22.4-kW (30-hp) rugged gearbox. Cooling fins help extend the life of the gearbox.

To meet specific mowing needs, choose from four blade types:

• Standard
• Mulching
• High lift
• Flat

These rear-discharge mowers are equipped with four swivel wheels that follow ground contours and prevent scalping. Stamped, steel-reinforced wheel arms maintain a consistent cutting height.

One of the greatest concerns for operators involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch quick-hitch sytem.

The iMatch quick-hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements designed to meet the ASAE Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch quick-hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch quick-hitch. Additional bushings are available from a John Deere dealer.

A mulching kit is available as an attachment for field conversion. The mulching kit includes unique mulching blades, baffles, and guard supports to produce smaller clippings, which decompose faster than clippings that haven’t been mulched.

Operators should follow the one-third rule for cutting height when mulching in grass.

This mulching kit also does an excellent job when mulching leaves.

An anti-scalping roller kit can be ordered as an attachment for field conversion for FM and GM Series Grooming Mowers when it is not standard equipment. The roller is attached to the front of the cutting deck to help reduce scalping.

Each kit contains one roller.
