NOTE: Includes mandatory compliance kit (BM23683) for France.

A mower deck must be level side-to-side and properly adjusted front-to-rear to give the best cutting performance. A removable, onboard deck-leveling gauge, located in the center of the cut-height adjusting knob, and a hex-key tool are provided to make adjustment easy.

 

Exact Adjust leveling ports are provided on each side of the operator platform above the mower-level adjusting bolts. With the tool, they provide convenient access to allow quick and easy adjustment of the mower for a best-quality cut.

The Exact Adjust feature is standard on all Select Series™ X300 and X500 Tractors:

• There is no need to reach under the fender deck while making the mower-level adjustment. 
• On-board deck-leveling gauge, Exact Adjust ports, and the hex tool work together. 
  • Level the mower deck side-to-side
  • Set the correct amount of rake (front-to-back deck orientation) 
  • Calibrate the cutting height to the cut-height adjusting knob setting 
• Exact Adjust simplifies leveling the mower deck if equipped with a Power Flow™ blower. 
  • To give the best cut, mower level should be adjusted if alternately mowing with and without blower installed. The Exact Adjust feature makes this easy.

Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:

• Park the tractor on a level surface.
• Inflate tires to the correct pressure.
• Consult the label for the cutting-height knob that is located on the console of the machine. This label shows deck-leveling position and location of deck-leveling adjustment points.
• Set mower cutting-height knob to the correct deck-leveling position of 6.4 cm (2.5 in.)
• Adjust mower wheels as necessary so they do not contact the ground surface.
• Remove the onboard deck-leveling gauge that is located under the seat.
• Using the Exact Adjust ports and tool, adjust mower deck side-to-side level so the deck-leveling gauge just slips under the left and right lower deck rim at the designated adjustment points.
  • Left-rear and right-rear adjustment points are under the deck rim near the corners of the deck.
• Adjust mower deck front-to-back level, if necessary.
  • Loosen rear nuts equally on each side of front lift rod.
  • Turn front nut equally on each side clockwise to raise front of mower or counterclockwise to lower it until gauge just slips under the front adjustment point.
    • Front adjustment point is under the front center of the deck.
  • Tighten rear nuts after adjustment is complete.
• Return the gauge to its storage position. 

NOTE: The adjusting tool supplied with the tractor is an 8-mm ball-hex key, part number M162737. The rounded end allows for some misalignment with the bolt as the deck is adjusted.

The tractor is powered by a John Deere iTorque™ power system, a combination of engine features and an exclusive hood design providing superior lugging ability, even cooling, and durability. Key engine features include:

• Large, 726-cc displacement
• 17.1 kW at 3500 rpm
• V-twin air-cooled design
  • Excellent power and performance
  • Smooth, quiet power
  • Easy starts
• Quality features include:
  • Cast-iron cylinder liners
  • Overhead valves
  • Full-pressure lubrication
  • Replaceable oil filter
  • Dual-stage air cleaner
• Solenoid-shift starter for easy starts, even in cold weather

• Electronic fuel injection (EFI)

  • EFI meters the correct amount of fuel directly into each engine cylinder for all operating conditions.
  • It simplifies engine starts and warm-up by eliminating the need for the operator to use a choke.
  • Fuel usage is reduced up to 10 percent compared to a carbureted engine.

• Constant-speed governor

  • Constant-speed governor works in conjunction with EFI to electronically adjust the supply of fuel air mixture, to increase torque as needed to maintain engine operating speed under load.
  • Ground speed and mower blade-tip speed remain constant, even in heavy-grass conditions, to improve productivity and cut quality.
    • Mechanical governors cannot respond fast enough to maintain a constant engine speed.
  • Some torque rise remains to warn the operator before the engine stalls.
  • X590's constant-speed governor is a first in the consumer mowing industry.

Electronic fuel injection and constant-speed governor

No choke control is needed for the EFI engine because a servo motor controls the intake air butterfly valve and the air stream. For cold starts the actuator will close the valve, making starting the engine easier - no choke lever is needed. Starts are quick and easy - even for inexperienced operators.

The advanced engine features provide the following advantages:

• Performance is improved.

  • Mowing time is reduced as the constant-speed governor keeps the engine operating at optimum speed, responding instantaneously as the mower transitions from light to heavy mowing.
  • Cut quality is improved, especially in difficult mowing conditions, because the constant-speed governor keeps the mower blades turning at full speed, delivering optimal cut quality and dispersion of clippings. While snow blowing, maintaining the fan speed enables consistent snow placement.

• Uptime is increased.

  • Fast, reliable starts are routine just like with a modern automobile. EFI automatically meters fuel, including the extra fuel needed to start a cold engine. Flooding by unnecessary choking of a warm engine is eliminated. No carburetor adjustments are needed at altitude.
  • No choke-related problems since the choke is eliminated, thus ensuring operator confidence and quick starts, even in cold ambient temperatures (snow blower use). The mechanical throttle cable is replaced by an electric linkage that is not susceptible to wear or freezing.

• Cost of ownership is reduced.

  • EFI precisely meters fuel to each engine cylinder. Fuel usage can be expected to be about 10 percent less than with a similar carbureted tractor.
  • Reduced maintenance expense because of fewer complaints related to hard starting, vapor lock, misfire, run-on, or fouled spark plugs.

• The X590 Tractor, including the engine, is covered by a 4-year/500-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty*.

Flywheel alternator

A flywheel alternator provides plenty of capacity to quickly recharge the battery and power electrical equipment, such as lights or a sprayer:

• 15-amp capacity
• Regulated to keep the battery at a full charge, without risk of overcharging
