Deere adds another front mower with diesel power

John Deere brings commercial landscapers another option with the addition of the 1545 front mower to its line of mowers. The Deere 1545 is equipped with a 31-hp (23-kW) Yanmar diesel engine. The engine's rear-mounted radiator helps lower sound levels and is easy to service. A dual-element air filter includes an air restriction indicator that lets the operator know when servicing is required. Full-pressure lubrication protects the engine even with continuous operation on slopes and hillsides. The CARB-certified engine also features a 55-A alternator for easy starting, a self-bleeding fuel system for restarting the engine even when it runs out of fuel, and a 14.5-gal (55-L) fuel tank sufficient for all-day mowing.
