John Deere are well known for the quality and reliability of all their products and the John Deere X500 garden tractor is no exception. The 25 hp engine has enough power to get any job done quickly and efficiently and the large 48 inch deck will give a fast cut. Different operating modes are possible including mulching, side discharging and material collecting. The height of the blade can be adjusted from 1" to 4" in 1/4" increments with the easy to use gauge and there is a spring assisted system operated by foot for adjusting the deck. Maneuverability is excellent on inclines and around obstacles.
The X500 garden tractor has a larger than average 5 gallon tank so it is ideally suited to all those very large areas. Refuelling is easy with the large 3" opening and the fuel gauge mounted on the dash is easy to read.
The turning radius of 22" is slightly larger than on smaller decked mowers but is compensated for by the speed that can be achieved with the larger cutting path. Steering is very smooth and the automatic transmission gives very smooth speed and direction changes.
For a comfortable ride the X500 garden tractor can't be beaten. The high back and springed seat help to soften the ride and there's even a cup holder attached.
Overall a well made, efficient machine although a little pricey.
