JD X540 - X590 (mower) - opinions please

[Davescay]

Hi

 

Does anyone use the John Deere X540. I'm looking at the replacement model the X590.

 

What are peoples views and alternatives. I'm looking at JD as there is a dealer not to far away from me.

 

Thanks in advance

Got the 540 Good mower, 54" decks nice and quick but blooming wide with the fan sticking out the side.

I got a lot of grass to cut on the holiday park and they got me a Iseki 323. It's a stunning cut. I got a Jacobson tri king cylinder mower and it doesn't leave as good a finish

The X540 uses a liquid cooled Kawasaki engine which is more than the model required but John Deere couldnt refuse to use the engines when they were offered them.

It has a strong chassis with cast iron axles, power steering and power deck lift, cruise control and a very smooth twin touch hydrostatic drive.

Large width rear tyres for excellent climbing of slopes. really easy to use with a 48 or 54 deck.

John Deere have introduced the X590 as the x540 replacement and it comes with electronic fuel injection with a constant speed governor which works to increase torque under load. The mower blade-tip speed remain constant, even in heavy-grass conditions, to improve the grass cutting. Its the first fuel injected mower in the consumer market and has fly by wire throttle without choke.

We are doing a special offer on x540 with 48 or 54 deck for £5200 + VAT. x590 with 48 or 54 deck £5495 + vat.

hope this helps.
