• 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.
• 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.
