X300 Tractor
42-Inch Edge™ Rear Discharge Deck
Price: $3,999.00
Power
17-hp V-twin, air-cooled John Deere iTorque™ Power System (a combination of engine features that provide more lugging ability, even cooling, and durability) provides excellent power and performance, easy starts and smooth operation
Performance
TurboStar 42-in. Edge™ Xtra rear discharge mower deck includes a heavy-duty cast-iron blower that pulls in grass clippings and propels and packs them into the 8.5 bu. (300 liter) hopper, filling it with 1 1/2 to 2 times more material by weight
Mower trims on both sides for more efficient mowing as there is no chute or hopper on the side of the mower to interfere
Automatic PTO shutoff stops the mower when the hopper is full to prevent chute plugging
2.4 U.S. gallon fuel tank with a large 3-inch fill opening located on the left fender makes adding fuel easy and helps eliminate spillage
Twin Touch™ automatic transmission provides comfortable two-pedal foot control for effortless speed and direction changes
35-watt headlights designed to provide optimum lighting pattern for mowing and improved visibility during evening operation
Tight 22-inch turning radius provides excellent maneuverability and improved mowing performance
Durability
Heavy-duty welded frame for the strength to operate a wide variety of equipment
Front axle is made of nodular cast iron
Depressing brake pedal applies internal wet disk brakes (increased durability and longer life) for safe stopping
Heavy-duty electric PTO clutch designed to operate through many on/off cycles before needing adjustment; controlled by a convenient dash-mounted control
Hopper contains inside rear mesh bag with outside heavy debris deflector around the rear and sides allowing the large volume of air to escape, reducing sound, and deflecting debris downward
Convenience
Narrower width allows better maneuverability and use in smaller spaces; holds 1.5 to 2 times more material than a 7 bu. rear bagger for less trips to empty; less total mowing time
Hopper can be conveniently emptied from the operator seat; no bags to lift
Hopper is easily removed - simply lift off - nothing to disconnect
Mower deck is easy to remove for cleaning or service; also, two quick-connect wash ports are provided for cleaning the underside of the deck, blower, and chute
Smaller storage footprint takes less space when storing; hopper simply lifts-off to reduce area needed to store tractor
Standard tool tray and cupholder keep tools and beverages within reach
A lift-assist spring is available on tractors to minimize lift effort; lift effort can be easily adjusted for optimum performance depending on the equipment used (mower, front blade, etc.)
Color-coded controls are conveniently located for easy access
Standard hourmeter makes it easy to tell when oil changes and other maintenance should be performed
Separate engine speed and choke controls make starting and warming up the engine easier in cold weather
Mower deck height-of-cut control with rotary dial knob provides mower cut height range from 1 to 4 inches in 1/4-inch increments; on-board deck leveling gauge located in the center of the cut-height adjusting knob
Comfort
Comfortable, high-back sit-and-adjust seat features 7 inches of travel; springs adjust for operator weight allowing fine tuning of suspension; open-back design allows air circulation to keep the operator's back cool and dry for a more comfortable ride
Large 14-inch diameter steering wheel is comfortable to use and minimizes steering effort
Full-length foot mats provide comfort for the operator while protecting the footrest area
Roomy and uncluttered open platform makes getting on and off the tractor easy
