FEATURES

• Four models make up John Deere’s line of Select Series X500 Tractors. These tractors provide the customer with excellent stability, traction and versatility.

• John Deere iTorque™ Power Systems with 25-horsepower* V-twin air-cooled engines and 26-horsepower* liquid-cooled engines are used in the X500 Multi-Terrain Tractors.

• The iTorque Power System includes a combination of engine features and exclusive hood design that provide more lugging ability, even cooling, and durability.

• Engines feature premium components for excellent reliability and long engine life. Included are cast-iron cylinder liners, overhead valves, full-pressure lubrication with replaceable oil ﬁ lter, and dual-stage air ﬁ lter.

• Fully regulated 15 amp electrical system provides quick, reliable starts. It also powers the standard headlights and electric PTO clutch.

• Hydrostatic transaxle is sealed in one housing for efﬁ cient operation. A replaceable ﬁ lter keeps the oil clean for long life. Full-length axle housings are designed to handle heavy loads.

• Heavy-Duty CargO™ Mounts make installation of rear-mounted equipment like the 7- and 14-bushel material collection hoppers easy.

* Engine horsepower is provided by the engine manufacturer for comparison purposes. Actual operating horsepower will be less.

• All models use John Deere’s exclusive Twin Touch automatic drive system. Dual foot pedals allow the operator to easily select tractor speed and direction while keeping both hands on the steering wheel for maximum productivity.

• Cruise control is standard on all models.

• Welded frame is made of 3-mm thick steel for excellent strength and reliability. A heavy-duty cast-iron front axle pivots at the center and oscillates to keep all wheels on the ground when traveling over uneven terrain.

• Sector-and-pinion steering (X500, X520) or convenient power steering with tilt steering wheel (X534, X540) is standard.

• Metal bushings are used at the steering spindles to provide easy steering and long life. A grease cavity between the bushings provides continuous lubrication during operation.

• A tight turning radius provides superb handling. The X534 has 4-wheel steering that gives this model even tighter turning for superior maneuverability and easier trimming around trees and bushes.

• Operator controls are color-coded and identiﬁ ed with English words for easy identiﬁ cation and logically placed for easy use.

• Comfortable, 15- or 16-inch seats provide a cushioned ride and good support for the operator. The open back design allows air to circulate to keep the operator’s back cool.

• The seat can be easily adjusted fore and aft 7 inches. The unique seat suspension system uses two adjustable coil springs to give the operator a smooth, stable ride.

• On the X500 and X520, a lift-assist spring is coupled with a foot-pedal lift system to make raising the mower and other implements both convenient and easy. The spring can be adjusted to accommodate different implements.

• On the X534 and X540, hydraulic power lift provides an even higher level of convenience.

• The lift system allows mower cutting heights from 1 to 4 inches.

• X500 Series Tractors come with a 48- or 54-inch Edge Xtra mower deck. Features include ¼-inch cut-height increments, 4-point mounting, and wider wheels. These mowers offer excellent cutting performance and easy convertibility.

• Mower decks feature Quik-Tatch™ mounting, dual-belt drive, wash port, greaseable spindles, powder paint, and many other high-quality features to ensure long, trouble-free use.
