The 19-kW (25.5-hp) liquid-cooled V-twin engine has a large 745-cc (45.5-cu in.) displacement to provide plenty of power and torque for excellent performance in any operating condition. The one-piece hood is hinged to open for convenient engine service.

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. 
• 2.5-cm (1-in.) 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).

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 one company handling all the paperwork.
• Premium features of X700 Series Tractors allow for this longer warranty period, with more coverage than comparable tractors.

*Term limited to years or hours used, whichever comes first, and varies by model. See Agriculture and Turf equipment Warranty Statement.at JohnDeere.com.au for details.

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.

The X739 Tractor has both full-time four-wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel steering, which gives it the optimum in both traction and maneuverability.

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.

Smooth, rounded contours present a modern, styled appearance:

• Hood styling incorporates efficient full-length air-intake louvers on each side, rather than on the top.
  • Cooler engine operation
  • Lower operator station sound levels
• Hot air is vented out the front grille, away from the operator.
• The fully enclosed hood is made of molded-in-color material.
  • Reduces sound
  • Will not rust or dent
• Distinctive grille and large, one-piece fender deck complete the styling package.

The contoured dash has clean, attractive styling and ergonomic controls for easy use:

• Controls are color coded and labeled with English words for easy identification by the operator.
• Controls are logically placed and easy to reach.
• The power take-off (PTO) switch allows the operator to get fingers underneath it, like a T-handle, to pull up for easy activation.
• The reverse implement option (RIO) switch is a yellow button.
• The latch control on foot-lift models and hydraulic-lift control on power-lift models and the park brake latch are pivot levers for low effort.
• Cruise control activation is handled by an automotive-style button.
• Separate engine speed and choke controls make starting and warming up the engine easier in cold weather.
  • The choke lever is spring loaded to eliminate the chance the tractor will be unintentionally operated with the choke partially closed.
• Functional design of the throttle and choke controls provides good appearance and a comfortable feel.

The optional MulchControl system 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:

• Creates a beautiful looking lawn
• Smaller grass clippings disappear into the lawn canopy
• Reduces fertilizer needs
• Grass clippings are not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
• No need to dispose of bags of clippings

The 122-cm (48-in.) Accel Deep™ (48A) Mower Deck, 122-cm (48-in.) Edge™ Xtra Mower,* and 137-cm (54-in.) and 152-cm (60-in.) Edge High Capacity (HC) Mowers use a high-performance Power Flow blower to collect material into a variety of material collection systems:

• 247-L (7-bu), two-bag Power Flow hopper 
• 493-L (14-bu), three-bag Power Flow hopper 
• 670-L (19-bu), MC519 Power Flow cart 

Features are as follows:

• Blower is hinged to provide easy installation.
• Blower is easy to swing out for easy cleanout.
• Blower fan runs in a clockwise direction (viewed from the right side) to efficiently move material up the chute.

The Power Flow blower works well with either the standard mower blades or the mulching blades.

Each of the John Deere material collection systems has durable construction for long life in homeowner or commercial applications.

*NOTE: The three-bag, 493-L (14-bu) Power Flow is not compatible with a X729, X739, or X749 Tractor equipped with a 48X Mower Deck because the chute can contact the rear tire in a turn. However, it is compatible with the 48 Accel Deep (48A) Mower because the increased deck height and the height of its Power Flow blower housing lift the chute high enough to clear the wheel and fender with the three-bag hopper installed.

The 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:

• 4.83-in. (12.3-cm) depth throughout the entire deck shell for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance
  • Optional MulchControl™ system provides superior mulching performance and versatility.
• Stamped-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance
• Mower deck is suspended from the vehicle for a smooth and level cut
  • Adjustable mower wheels, positioned just above ground level, help reduce scalping
• 0.25-in. (6.4-mm) cut-height increments allow the mower to be set at the desired cut height
• Compatible with high-performance Power Flow™ material collection systems
• For use on X730, X734, X738, X739, X750, X754, and X758
