A large-capacity, 500 cold-cranking amp battery provides plenty of cranking power for quick, sure starts in cold weather:

• Mounted at the front of the tractor frame for easy accessibility

• 54-in. (137-cm) and 60-in. (152-cm) High-Capacity (HC) Mower Decks are heavy duty

A deep-deck design of 5.5 in. (14 cm) delivers excellent airflow so material can be processed quickly and efficiently. The deck is forged from 9-gauge, 0.15-in. (3.8-mm) steel and has welded-on reinforcement at the bottom edge for extra strength and durability.

High-capacity mower decks are formed in a hydraulic press to minimize the number of welds and provide a smooth underside for reduced material buildup:

• Wider and higher discharge opening provides an even clipping dispersal for an excellent finished appearance in all conditions.
• Durable plastic deflector spreads grass clippings evenly across the lawn, is hinged, and can be raised to minimize the storage space required. 
• 1-in. (2.5-cm) cold-forged spindles are heat-treated for strength and supported by ball bearings.
• Front edge is raised above the blade plane to allow even cutting of tall grass.
• Blade overlap is greater than many conventional decks for a clean cut.
• Mower can side-discharge, mulch (optional), or use a Power Flow™ collection system (optional).

Ramps are provided to permit driving over the mower deck for installing and removing it from the tractor:

• Constructed of 30 percent glass-filled polypropylene for strength to carry the weight of the tractor
• Polypropylene material will not rust or corrode for lasting good appearance
• Shark tooth shaped grips designed into the ramp inclines for added wheel traction when driving onto the mower deck
• Tire grab at the rear of the ramp gives extra wheel traction
• Ramps removed and replaced without tools to permit convenient servicing of the mower spindles

A wash port is provided to make cleaning the underside of the mower deck easy: 

• Hose connector is included with the mower deck.

The high-performance mulching attachment provides excellent mulching performance:

• This is a high-performance mulching attachment that includes formed steel baffles to control the material and special mulching blades for superior performance.
  • The special mulching blades that are included can also be used for side discharging and collecting, though overall performance may be slightly less than with the standard blades.
• Order: BM23977, 54 HC mulching attachment  or BM23978 60 HC mulching attachment

The MulchControl attachment makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

• A beautiful looking lawn
• Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
• Less fertilizer use
• Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

• The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
• The left mower blade area is completely enclosed and optimized for mulching, thus will mulch even when the mower is in the side-discharge mode.
• Baffles around the center and right blades are optimized for mulching when the discharge baffle is closed.

The optional MulchControl attachment comes with a handle on top of the mower deck that is used to open and close the discharge baffle:

• The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.

An optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator attachment is available to replace the standard control lever and allow the operator to control MulchControl from the seat using the tractor’s hydraulic control lever.

• Four-year or 700-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty is standard

An exclusive 4-year or 700-hour (whichever comes first), single-source, bumper-to-bumper warranty* is standard for all John Deere X700 Series Tractors.

• The warranty is hassle free, with both the mower and the engine covered by a single warranty.
• If the mower is sold, the remaining warranty term is transferable to a new owner.
• Premium features of X700 Series Tractors allow for this longer warranty period, with more coverage than comparable tractors.

• Four-wheel power steering for superior maneuverability and trimming

Power steering is standard equipment on all X700 Series Tractors. It provides effortless, automotive-like control:

• Reduced operator fatigue
• Better maneuverability
• Increased productivity

Four-wheel power steering on the X734, X739, and X754 Tractors provides very significant maneuverability and trimming advantages over two-wheel-steering equipped tractors:

   1. The uncut circle diameter is greatly reduced, eliminating or greatly reducing the need to back up when trimming around trees, shrubs, etc.

• Cutting inside turns created by landscaping, flower beds, etc. can also be done much more efficiently with a four-wheel-steer equipped tractor.

   2. Interference from the mower and tractor wheels is eliminated because they are several inches away from the object being trimmed around.

• When cutting rectangle-shaped areas, square corners can be cut more effectively and efficiently.

   3. The outside turning circle is reduced, decreasing the time spent turning and increasing mowing efficiency.

• Operator station is comfortable and convenient

The tilt steering wheel can be adjusted for optimum operator comfort:

• Six positions can be selected with the push of a lever for the most comfortable setting.
• The full-up position makes getting on and off the tractor easy.
• The steering wheel is designed for comfortable, no-slip operation.

Two-piece, 21-in. (53-cm) high-back seat, with John Deere branded embroidery, has a thick seat cushion for lasting comfort, even after a full day of use. The back can be angled to maximize operator comfort by using a convenient lever on the side of the seat.

A four-bar adjustable seat suspension and 7-in. (18-cm) slide-rail fore-aft adjustment are provided to optimize operator comfort.

Optional armrests increase operator support and comfort, thus reducing fatigue and improving productivity, especially when mowing for extended periods of time. Armrests are adjustable to suit the operator. The embroidered logo on the seat back makes this upscale seat look as good as it feels.

The optional air-ride seat minimizes vibration the operator feels while using the tractor and provides a very smooth ride. This seat has a full pneumatic suspension that is easy for operators to adjust to suit their individual needs. Wide, shaped ergonomic cushions are comfortable and reduce back strain.
