An equipment lease allows businesses to access top‑tier John Deere commercial mowers without tying up large amounts of capital.
- No large down payment like a purchase
- Fixed, business-friendly monthly payments
- Capital stays available for labor, fuel, trailers, or business growth
Why it matters: Cash flow is often more critical than ownership in seasonal industries like landscaping and grounds maintenance.
Looking to lease?
When your income depends on uptime, equipment reliability isn’t a luxury—it’s insurance. Leasing may be one of the best forms of insurance when you plan for the future of your business. Most warranties will be in place during the lease period and when the lease ends, you can move on to new equipment or simply buy it outright.

Access to Newer, More Efficient Equipment
Leasing makes it easier to run the latest equipment with:
- Fuel-efficient engines
- Improved cutting systems and productivity features
- Operator comfort and safety upgrades
Result: Crews work faster, downtime is reduced, and the finished cut looks better, helping contractors stay competitive. Not to mention access to John Deere technology that helps manage maintenance from your cellphone.
Reduced Maintenance & Repair Risk
Many leases are structured to align with warranty coverage or include maintenance options.
- Major repairs are often minimized during the lease term
- Fewer unexpected expenses
- Simplifies budgeting and scheduling
This is especially valuable during peak mowing season, when downtime can cost far more than the repair itself.
Flexible End‑of‑Term Options
At the end of the lease, businesses typically have choices:
- Upgrade to newer John Deere models
- Purchase the machine (often at a known residual value)
- Return the equipment and adjust fleet size as needed
Benefit: Your fleet can scale up or down as contracts change—without long‑term ownership risk.
Tax Benefits of Equipment Leasing
Leasing John Deere commercial mowing equipment offers practical, financial, and operational advantages—especially for landscaping companies, municipalities, golf courses, and large property managers who rely on uptime and predictable costs.
Not all tax savings are limited to equipment financing. Leased equipment can also be eligible for Section 179. You can write off the entire lease payment as a business expense by deducting the monthly lease payments on your taxes, if your lease meets the qualifications. The goal of Section 179 is to empower small and medium-sized businesses to invest in the development of their businesses and be able to purchase new or used equipment to support their operations.
To get the financing you need to purchase new and used commercial, residential, and agricultural equipment, explore your options with TriGreen Equipment and John Deere Financial.
