How Landscapers in Louisiana Can Upgrade Their Fleet for the Spring Season
3/19/2025
Spring is the perfect time for ambitious landscapers to take their projects to the next level, transforming properties into stunning showcases of nature and design. With every new season comes fresh challenges, but the right equipment can make all the difference in tackling them with ease. For landscapers and contractors in Louisiana gearing up for the busy spring season, Goldman Equipment is your go-to partner. At Goldman Equipment, we’re proud to offer a wide range of premium John Deere equipment — from powerful tractors to versatile mowers — built to handle any job and keep properties looking their best all season long.
Compact tractors are the ultimate workhorses for tackling the demands of maintaining and improving properties of all sizes. Don’t let their size fool you – these small yet mighty machines pack serious power and versatility. Whether you’re hauling, mowing, or completing other essential tasks, compact tractors are designed to handle the workload efficiently, making them an indispensable tool for any landscaping or property maintenance project.
The 1 Series includes the sub-compact tractor models, 1023E and 1025R. With horsepower ranging from 21.5 HP to 23.9 HP, these nimble tractors are perfectly suited for light landscaping and mowing, making them ideal for smaller residential projects. Thanks to their compact size, both models navigate tight, narrow spaces with ease while still delivering enough power for essential tasks like tilling and material handling. The 1025R offers a slight edge with its 23.9 HP engine and an optional cab, providing added comfort as the hot summer months approach.
Achieving a clean, professional-grade cut is essential for landscapers, and the ZTrak zero-turn mowers deliver just that. Highly maneuverable and efficient, the Z700 and Z900 Series mowers are excellent choices for nearly any type of Louisiana landscape.
The Z700 Series mowers are the most powerful of the residential lineup. Optimized for medium to large properties, these mowers combine commercial-grade durability with residential-friendly features. Built to tackle thick grass and withstand long hours, the Z700 Series features cutting decks ranging from 48 to 60 inches, allowing operators to cover more ground quickly while maintaining a flawless cut. These mowers are ideal for residential landscapers looking for professional-grade results.
The Z900 Series is a top-tier choice for high-volume commercial jobs. Built for heavy-duty applications, these mowers deliver up to 37 HP and are capable of cutting through the dense grass common in Louisiana’s warm climate. With decks up to 72 inches wide, the Z900 Series is perfect for large properties, drastically reducing mowing time. The high-performance gasoline engines are excellent for landscapers looking for mowers capable of quick acceleration on the job with enough power and agility to maneuver tight spaces easily. Premium features such as ComfortGlide™ suspension seats and intuitive controls make these mowers a pleasure to operate, even during extended use.
To experience greater fuel efficiency, consider the diesel options: Z994R and Z997R. The Z900 diesel mowers not only contribute to lower fuel consumption compared to gasoline mowers but also provide extra power for large commercial jobs as well as a longer engine life, making it a solid investment for landscaping businesses.
A more robust option for landscapers who plan on taking on more complex applications is the commercial walk-behind mower. The highlight feature of the machine is the floating mower deck which allows the mowers to adapt to a wide range of terrain while still maintaining high-quality cuts. Some models, such as the R Series, also offer greater ground clearance making navigating curbs and other obstacles a breeze. The high blade-tip speed of about 18000 fpm enables efficient and precise cutting, while the hydrostatic drive system offers infinite ground-speed adjustments for smoother transitions and enhanced control during operation.
QuikTrack Stand-On mowers are another great pick for landscapers to add to their fleet this spring. The standing design of the stand-on mower gives the operator superior visibility to navigate obstacles more efficiently, while the compact design enables more maneuverability in narrow spaces. Operators can work comfortably thanks to the spacious operator platforms, spring-loaded standing pads, and ergonomic controls intended to reduce fatigue. Choose from multiple deck options, including the 7Iron PRO deck and FastBack PRO deck, to pick the optimal setup for different mowing conditions.
