Minimum requirements include:

The TVAMC requires purchase of five (5) riding lawn mower equal to or better than the John Deere Z997R Diesel NA. This riding lawn mower must have zero-turn, diesel engine, side discharge, 7-Iron 72” deck, 26x12x12 Pneumatic Turf Tires, Beacon Light Kit and SunSouth Service Guarantee with loaner guarantee. The 125 acres of terrain we maintain at the TVAMC consists of rough, uneven grounds and some flat areas. Diesel engines deliver more power and efficiency over gasoline engines and are better suited to perform sizable jobs, especially in 3 digit heat. Overtime time, because of their efficiency, diesel engines will save both time and money. The mulch deck allows the blades to reduce the grass clipping size which in turn reduce yard waste and contribute to a stronger, healthier lawn.
