X584Tracteur avec corps de 122 ou 137 cm (48 ou 54 po)

Direction aux quatre roues

REMARQUE : Sur l’illustration présentée ci-dessus, le trait plein représente la trajectoire d’un tracteur doté de quatre roues directrices, tandis que le trait hachuré représente la trajectoire d’un tracteur doté de deux roues directrices.

La direction aux quatre roues offre un net avantage quant à la maniabilité et à la capacité de tonte par rapport aux tracteurs dotés de deux roues directrices (les numéros suivants correspondent au schéma affiché ci-dessus) :

1. Le diamètre du cercle non coupé est beaucoup plus petit, ce qui élimine ou réduit considérablement la nécessité de reculer pour tondre autour des arbres, des buissons, etc.

• Les braquages pour tondre autour des massifs de fleurs et d’autres aménagements sont plus efficaces avec un tracteur à quatre roues directrices.

2. Les roues du tracteur ne nuisent pas au fonctionnement de la tondeuse puisqu’elles se trouvent à plusieurs centimètres de l’obstacle autour duquel se fait la tonte.

• Les coins à angle droit des superficies rectangulaires peuvent être coupés de manière plus efficace.

3. Le rayon de braquage extérieur est plus faible, ce qui réduit le temps nécessaire pour les braquages et accroît l’efficacité de la tonte.

Servodirection hydraulique

La servodirection hydraulique est un équipement de série qui sert à optimiser les avantages des quatre roues motrices pour faire des braquages serrés et faciliter la direction :

• procure une direction souple comme celle dont bénéficient les automobilistes ;
• réduit la fatigue du conducteur et accroît sa productivité ;
• procure un rayon de braquage serré qui optimise la maniabilité ;
• simplifie et améliore la tonte autour des objets.

Virages serrés

Le système de direction aux quatre roues est conçu pour les virages serrés, ce qui améliore le rendement de la tonte :

• les angles de chasse, de carrossage et de pivot de fusée sont optimisés afin de réduire l’effort nécessaire, surtout lorsque le tracteur se déplace en ligne droite juste avant un virage.
• La géométrie du système de direction a été conçue avec l’aide de la modélisation 3D afin de veiller à ce que les quatre roues travaillent de concert.
• Les roulements à billes étanches des fusées de roue arrière réduisent la friction.
• Le petit rayon de frottement, qui est de moins de 2,54 cm (1 po) à l’arrière réduit les éraflures et les secousses.

Pour obtenir des performances de coupe optimales, le corps de tondeuse doit être à niveau latéralement et correctement réglé sur le plan longitudinal. Un indicateur de niveau de corps embarqué et amovible et une clé hexagonale sont fournis pour faciliter le réglage. Ils sont rangés en toute sécurité sous le siège du tracteur.

Des orifices de mise à niveau pour réglage de précision sont situés de chaque côté du poste de conduite au-dessus des boulons de rappel de niveau de la tondeuse. Combinés à l’outil hexagonal, ils fournissent un accès pratique pour un réglage facile et rapide de la tondeuse, afin d’obtenir la meilleure qualité de coupe possible.

Le réglage de précision est une caractéristique de série sur tous les tracteurs X300, X500 et sur tous ceux de la série Select™ :

• Il n’est pas nécessaire d’accéder au dessous du capot des ailes pour régler le niveau de la tondeuse.
• L’indicateur de niveau de corps embarqué, les orifices pour réglage de précision et l’outil hexagonal fonctionnent ensemble.
  • Mettez le corps à niveau le corps en sens latéral
  • Définissez le bon taux de ratissage (selon l’axe longitudinal du corps)
  • Calibrez la hauteur de coupe par rapport à la position du bouton de réglage de la hauteur de coupe
• Le système de réglage de précision simplifie la mise à niveau du corps de tondeuse si celle-ci est équipée d’un souffleur Power Flow™.
  • Pour une coupe optimale, le niveau de la tondeuse doit être réglé à chaque fois que vous posez et que vous déposez le souffleur durant les travaux de tonte. Le système de réglage de précision facilite ce réglage.

Consultez le livret d’entretien pour connaître les procédures de réglage appropriées pour chaque modèle de tracteur. Une bonne mise à niveau du corps de tondeuse comprend les étapes de réglage de base suivantes :

• Garez le tracteur sur une surface de niveau.
• Gonflez les pneus à la pression appropriée.
• Consultez l’étiquette du bouton de réglage de hauteur de coupe qui se situe sur la console de la machine. Cette étiquette montre la position de mise à niveau du corps et les points permettant de procéder au réglage du niveau.
• Tournez le bouton de réglage de la hauteur de coupe jusqu’à la position correspondant au bon réglage du niveau de corps.
  • Pour les modèles X300, utilisez la position 2,75.
  • Pour tous les autres modèles, utilisez la position 2,5.
• Réglez les roues de la tondeuse au besoin afin d’éviter qu’elles soient en contact avec le sol.
• Retirez l’indicateur de niveau de corps embarqué situé sous le siège.
• À l’aide de l’outil et des orifices de réglage de précision, réglez le niveau du corps de tondeuse latéralement jusqu’à ce que l’indicateur de niveau de corps puisse passer légèrement sous les bords inférieurs droit et gauche du corps au niveau des points de réglage désignés. L’emplacement des points de réglage varie légèrement d’un corps de tondeuse à l’autre.
  • Les points de réglage arrière gauche et droit se trouvent sous le rebord du corps près des roues arrière de la tondeuse, si celle-ci en est équipée.
• Réglez le niveau du corps de tondeuse selon l’axe longitudinal, si nécessaire.
  • Desserrez les écrous arrière de manière égale de chaque côté de la biellette de relevage avant.
  • Vissez les écrous avant uniformément de chaque côté dans le sens horaire pour relever l’avant de la tondeuse et dans le sens antihoraire pour l’abaisser, jusqu’à ce que l’indicateur puisse tout juste passer sous le point de réglage avant.
  • Resserrez les écrous arrière lorsque le réglage est terminé.
• Remettez l’indicateur en position de remisage.

REMARQUE : L’outil de réglage fourni avec le tracteur est une clé hexagonale à bille de 8 mm (numéro de pièce M162737). L’extrémité arrondie permet un certain désalignement avec le boulon pendant le réglage du corps.

Les formes arrondies et fluides donnent une apparence moderne et élégante :

• le capot stylisé est doté de volets d’admission d’air pleine longueur efficaces, de chaque côté.
  • Refroidissement du moteur plus efficace
  • Réduction du bruit au poste de conduite
• L’air chaud est évacué par la calandre avant, loin du conducteur.
• Le capot en résine Xenoy®, dont la couleur est intégrée au matériau, est très durable.
  • Excellente résistance aux chocs
  • Cache les éraflures
  • À l’épreuve des bosses et de la rouille
• Une calandre distinctive, un grand repose-pied, et les ailes monoblocs complètent le style.

Xenoy est une marque de commerce de SABIC Innovative Plastics.

Le corps de tondeuse Accel Deep de 122 cm (48 po) en acier embouti, doté d’une coque profonde et d’un dessus plat, offre une coupe d’excellente qualité et une productivité remarquable, et est facile à nettoyer, durable et polyvalent. Il fournit un rendement optimal et assure une excellente dispersion des brins d’herbe coupée, même à grande vitesse :

• Profondeur de 12,3 cm (4,8 po) sur l’ensemble de la coque, ce qui assure un rendement optimal lors de la tonte, du hachage et de l’ensachage
  • L’accessoire MulchControl™ offert en option est polyvalent et assure un hachage de rendement supérieur.
• Parce que le corps est fait en acier embouti, il ne présente aucune arête vive et aucun coin où la matière pourrait s’accumuler et réduire le rendement de la tonte
• Le corps de tondeuse est suspendu, ce qui assure une coupe uniforme et de niveau.
  • Les roues de la tondeuse sont réglables et sont situées juste au-dessus du sol, ce qui réduit les dégâts pouvant être causés sur le terrain.

Excellente qualité de coupe

Ce corps de tondeuse profond en acier embouti procure une coupe d’excellente qualité. Il offre suffisamment d’espace pour évacuer l’herbe coupée en suspension sans qu’elle soit coupée de nouveau :

• La puissance de la tondeuse sert à couper l’herbe une seule fois, ce qui améliore grandement sa capacité de coupe.
  • Cela permet de garder une excellente qualité de coupe à grande vitesse.
• Le débit constant des matières éjectées empêche l’herbe déjà coupée d’entrer en contact avec l’herbe à couper, ce qui assure une coupe nette.
• En mode de hachage, la coupe est également plus uniforme que celle qu’offrent d’autres types de conception ; la profondeur accrue du corps permet à l’herbe coupée de circuler de façon continue, ce qui optimise le hachage et assure une distribution uniforme des brins d’herbe coupée.

Productivité – accélère le travail

Le corps de tondeuse profond en acier embouti permet d’accroître la productivité, donc d’accélérer le travail. Il offre suffisamment d’espace pour évacuer l’herbe coupée en suspension sans la couper de nouveau, ce qui permet de concentrer la puissance de la tondeuse sur l’herbe à couper :

• Améliore grandement la capacité de la tondeuse à assurer un excellent rendement de tonte dans les conditions difficiles et à grande vitesse

La grande goulotte d’éjection, à la fois haute et large, laisse passer un grand volume de matière :

• Elle assure une éjection uniforme des brins d’herbe coupée quelle que soit la vitesse de tonte
• Elle réduit les risques d’obstruction, ce qui est particulièrement important durant la tonte de gazon épais, dense ou humide ou durant l’ensachage
• Le souffleur Power Flow™ de la tondeuse 48A est doté d’un boîtier d’entrée qui est 50 pour cent plus grand que celle des souffleurs Power Flow 48X utilisés sur les machines de génération antérieure

Propreté – à la fois pour la tondeuse et pour le conducteur

Grâce à son dessus plat, le corps de tondeuse en acier embouti demeure propre et permet au conducteur de ne pas se salir :

• Le corps de tondeuse ne présente que très peu d’endroits, sur le dessus ou en dessous, où l’herbe coupée peut s’accumuler.
  • Le dessus du corps demeure propre, ce qui réduit le temps nécessaire au nettoyage et à l’entretien.
  • La partie inférieure du corps est auto-nettoyante, ce qui prévient l’accumulation de matières pouvant nuire à la circulation de l’air et des brins d’herbe coupée et lui assure un rendement optimal.
  • Il n’est pas nécessaire de procéder aussi souvent au nettoyage et au retrait des matières accumulées au niveau de la partie inférieure du corps de la tondeuse.
• La profondeur du corps de la tondeuse Accel Deep réduit la quantité de brins d’herbe coupée qui s’échappe par l’avant de la tondeuse
  • La quantité de brins d’herbe coupée qui aboutissent sur le poste de conduite et sur le corps de tondeuse est négligeable.
  • Même en ce qui concerne les matières éjectées par la goulotte, les brins d’herbe sont plus longs, parce qu’ils ne sont coupés qu’une seule fois, ils sont donc moins susceptibles d’aboutir sur le conducteur
  • Le hachage empêche complètement l’éjection de matières et l’accessoire MulchControl fait en sorte que le hachage constitue une solution pratique dans la plupart des situations de tonte.

Le nettoyage du corps de tondeuse, sur le dessus et en dessous, est l’une des activités d’entretien les plus fréquentes :

• Le dessus plat du corps de tondeuse offre peu d’endroits où les brins d’herbe coupée peuvent s’accumuler et facilite le retrait des matières qui réussissent malgré tout à s’y accumuler.

Option MulchControl

L’accessoire MulchControl conçu pour le corps de tondeuse 48A fait du hachage le mode de choix dans de nombreuses situations de tonte. En effet, il offre non seulement un excellent rendement en matière de hachage, mais il permet également de passer facilement au mode d’éjection latérale ou d’ensachage, selon les besoins. Le hachage des brins d’herbe coupée procure les avantages suivants :

• Il donne une pelouse magnifique
• Il prévient la projection des brins d’herbe coupée sur le conducteur, les allées ou les massifs de fleurs
• Il réduit la quantité d’engrais nécessaire
• Il élimine l’effort nécessaire pour récupérer les brins d’herbe coupée

Un orifice facilite le lavage de la partie inférieure du corps de tondeuse.

• Un raccord de tuyau est offert de série avec le corps de tondeuse.

La durabilité supérieure est intégrée à la conception

Le corps de tondeuse 48A est doté de logements robustes pour les moyeux de lames ; les lames demeurent donc alignées, même après des années d’utilisation intensive :

• Les nervures accroissent la robustesse de la coque.
• Le poids global du corps de tondeuse 48A est de 23 pour cent supérieur à celui du corps de tondeuse Edge™ Xtra de 122 cm (48 po) utilisé sur les machines de génération antérieure.

Les roues de la tondeuse sont renforcées :

• Cet accroissement de leur robustesse et de leur durabilité en prolonge donc l’utilisation et en réduit l’entretien.
• Le réglage de la hauteur des roues pour obtenir la hauteur de coupe souhaitée est facile et rapide.

Grâce à la conception du système d’entraînement qui utilise une courroie à faible tension, la charge latérale subie par les roulements inférieurs du moteur et les roulements du corps de tondeuse est plus faible, ce qui accroît la durée d’utilisation.

Le corps de tondeuse 48A est doté d’un pare-chocs fabriqué à partir d’une tige d’acier massif de 16 mm (5/8 po) de diamètre qui accroît sa robustesse et offre une meilleure protection.

La peinture appliquée en deux étapes avec une machine à enduire de type E et la peinture en poudre fournissent une protection supplémentaire contre la rouille.

Polyvalence – il est facile de passer du mode d’éjection latérale aux modes de hachage et d’ensachage.

La tondeuse 48A est conçue pour offrir une polyvalence optimale, en permettant de passer facilement d’un mode à un autre :

• Avec l’accessoire MulchControl, offert en option (en plus des lames de hachage spéciales), le passage du mode d’éjection latérale au mode de hachage, et vice-versa, se fait simplement au moyen d’un levier.
• Le sac récupérateur d’herbe arrière Power Flow peut être utilisé lorsque l’accessoire MulchControl et les lames sont posés ; pour ce faire, il suffit de placer le levier de l’accessoire MulchControl en position d’éjection latérale.

Fonctionnement de l’accessoire MulchControl

L’accessoire MulchControl, de conception simple et innovante, est facile à utiliser et à entretenir :

• L’accessoire MulchControl des déflecteurs permettant de réguler la circulation des brins d’herbe coupée sous le corps de tondeuse.
  • Le déflecteur, ou séparateur, de l’accessoire MulchControl est situé entre les moyeux central et de gauche et se trouve environ à mi-chemin du sol. Sa hauteur permet d’assurer l’équilibre entre les modes de hachage et d’éjection latérale.
  • Lorsque le déflecteur MulchControl est ouvert, le séparateur situé entre les moyeux central et de gauche fait passer une partie de la matière par l’orifice d’éjection, en plus de la matière provenant des zones situées autour des moyeux centraux et de droite.
  • Lorsque le déflecteur MulchControl est fermé, l’herbe coupée reste sous le corps de tondeuse et est hachée et déposée sur le gazon.

• La poignée de l’accessoire MulchControl se trouve sur le dessus du corps de tondeuse et sert à ouvrir et à fermer le déflecteur d’éjection.
  • Le conducteur doit donc descendre de la tondeuse pour engager ou désengager le mode de hachage.
• Le passage du mode de hachage au mode d’éjection latérale ou vice-versa ne prend que quelques secondes.

L’accessoire MulchControl convient aux situations suivantes :

• Lorsque le conducteur procède habituellement au hachage de l’herbe, mais qu’il veut passer au mode d’éjection latérale si l’herbe est trop longue
• Lorsque le conducteur utilise habituellement l’éjection latérale, mais qu’il souhaite pouvoir fermer la goulotte afin de réduire la quantité de brins d’herbe coupée
• Lorsque le conducteur souhaite rester en mode de hachage sur la pelouse principale, mais qu’il a souvent recours à l’éjection latérale sur les pelouses secondaires
• Lorsqu’il procède à l’ensachage des brins d’herbe coupée, mais qu’il veut tondre le plus longtemps possible avant de devoir vider les sacs

L’accessoire MulchControl permet au conducteur de décider du traitement de l’herbe coupée. Désormais, le conducteur bénéficie de tous les avantages du hachage tout en ayant la possibilité de passer facilement à l’éjection latérale ou à l’ensachage au besoin.

Sac récupérateur d’herbe arrière Power Flow de 247 l (7 boisseaux)

Un système récupération arrière de 247 l (7 boisseaux) est disponible en option. Ce système permet de ramasser efficacement les brins d’herbe coupée et les feuilles :

Ce mode peut être avantageux durant l’éjection latérale de l’herbe coupée ou l’ensachage, car il réduit le volume d’herbe rejetée. Néanmoins, il présente parfois des inconvénients dans les cas suivants :

• Lorsque l’herbe est coriace, comme le gazon de Manille et l’herbe des Bermudes dans le sud des États-Unis
• Lorsque l’herbe est humide ou très longue, ce qui est fréquent dans la région du Pacifique nord-ouest des États-Unis
• Lorsqu’il est souhaitable de débarrasser le plus possible la pelouse des brins d’herbe coupée en optimisant l’ensachage

• 0.75-in. (2-cm) x 2-in. (5-cm) stake pockets are molded in to make the addition of side extensions easy.
• Two vertical 0.75-in. (2-cm) molded channels on each side allow easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
• Ribs in the box bottom add strength and prevent the shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
• Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
• Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
• Pneumatic tires provide turf tread for good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.

Wheels

Wheels are mounted on a solid, one-piece axle for durability.
 
Iron and Oilite® wheel bearings with grease fittings provide lubrication for long life.

The pneumatic tires offer the following:

• Good flotation
• Minimal rolling resistance
• Shock absorption

Sloped tailgate

A sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.

Tractor hitch

A large-diameter hitch pin provides plenty of strength:

• Fast, easy attachment to the tractor hitch
• Spring pin to ensure the pin stays in place

Tilt latch

An easy-to-use, spring-loaded dump latch allows tilting the box for easier unloading. A steep dump angle makes emptying the cart easier.

• Mulch
• Garden tools
• Plants and bushes

The 10P Utility Cart is designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment:

10P Utility Cart
Order number: LPPCT10JD

Oilite is a trademark of Beemer Precision, Incorporated.

Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart. Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials, including firewood, lawn debris, dirt, sand, mulch, garden tools, plants, and bushes.

Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.

For proper braking and operation, the loaded weight of the cart should never exceed the weight of the tractor, or other towing unit, plus the operator. See the appropriate vehicle pages for the weight of the vehicle and the mower deck.

Welded box construction provides maximum reliability:

• Requires less setup time than the bolted construction.
• Box sides and bottom are one piece and have rounded corners and no hardware for easy cleaning.

Wheels and tires

Wheels are mounted on a solid, one-piece axle for durability.

Iron/Oilite® wheel bearings with grease fittings provide lubrication for long life.

Pneumatic tires offer:

• Good flotation
• Minimal rolling resistance
• Shock absorption

Turf-tread tires are used on the 13 Utility Cart.

Deluxe tailgate is hinged for easy emptying and can also be quickly removed without the use of tools.

Easy hookup and tilt-dump latch

A large-diameter hitch pin provides plenty of strength:

• Fast, easy attachment to the tractor hitch
• Spring pin to ensure the pin stays in place

The easy-to-use latch allows tilting the bed for easier unloading:

• Steep dump angle makes emptying easier.

13 Utility Cart
Order number: LPHDC13JD

Oilite is a trademark of Beemer Precision, Incorporated.

Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential user of a high-quality, affordable utility cart.

Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials:

• Firewood
• Lawn debris
• Sand
• Dirt
• Mulch
• Garden tools
• Plants and bushes

Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.

 

Key features of the 17P Utility Cart:

• 1,000-lb (454-kg), 17-cu ft (0.48-m³) load capacity.
• Cart has premium molded high-density polyethylene box construction.
• Compression molding process allows polyethyl­ene to be the optimum thickness in all areas for superior strength and durability.
• Polyethylene body will not rust or dent, staying new-looking longer.
• 0.75- x 2-in. (19- x 51-mm) stake pockets are molded in to make addition of side extensions easy.
• Two vertical 0.75-in. (19-mm) molded channels on each side allow for easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
• Ribs in box bottom add strength and prevent a shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
• Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; no tailgate to loosen or remove.
• Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
• 16x6.5 pneumatic tires with turf tread give good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.
• Wheels are mounted on a solid one-piece axle.
• Wheels turn on iron/Oilite® bushings with grease fitting for long life.
• Spring-loaded dump latch is easy to use.

A convenient foot pedal dump release kit, LP48017, which now comes standard on all 10P and 17P carts is available to retrofit existing poly carts. This kit allows the operator to use both hands to lift the cart bed for more natural and efficient unloading.

Oilite is a trademark of Beemer Precision, Incorporated.

35 W sealed-beam bulb provides additional lighting for evening operation.

Light swivels and tilts to allow positioning beam on work area.

Light is designed for mounting on rear fender by drilling a hole in the desired location.

The 40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel expands the usefulness of any John Deere Select Series^TM X300 or X500 Multi-Terrain Tractor by allowing it to pick up and move material. It utilizes a high-capacity electric actuator that provides lift, lower, dump, and down force functions. No front blade is required.

The tractor shovel takes the back-breaking labor out of jobs like moving mulch, spreading gravel, ground grading, and more. It installs using the tractor's existing frame holes. After initial installation, it can be removed or installed without tools.

The innovative opening design of the tractor shovel, combined with the lift height, assures complete emptying of material. The tractor shovel can also be used for scraping and grading by locking the shovel in the raised position.

Tractor recommendations and requirements:

• Rear tractor ballast recommended for improved traction
• Tire chains recommended for moving snow
• No tractor requirements

 Key features:

• Can be used when upper part of shovel is locked in the raised position as a blade (without angling capability)
• Raised and lowered with electric actuator
• Provides down force to increase scraping effectiveness of blade
• Pick-up, transport, and empty a variety of loose material including soil, gravel, mulch, and snow
• Can be removed in 10 minutes or less

Compatibility:

• LP63767 40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel is Compatible with:

• Select Series X500, X520, X530, X534, X540, X570, X580, X584, and X590 Multi-Terrain Tractors

 

Unique shovel design

The unique design of the 40-in. (102-cm) Tractor Shovel allows an operator who has a Select Series™ X300 Series (including X300R and X350R) or X500 Series Multi-Terrain Tractor to use the tractor shovel for lifting and moving material as well as for typical blade functions (without blade angling), such as blading, leveling, and scraping:

• Unique shovel design empties material completely.
• Shovel can be locked in the raised position for blading applications.

Operation

The tractor shovel is operated from the tractor seat with the use of a control rod and an electric switch.

An electric actuator provides power to raise, lower, and empty the shovel.

To raise or lower the tractor shovel, use the electric switch on the tractor shovel panel.

Depress the bottom of the switch to raise the shovel and depress the top of the switch to lower the shovel.

To open the shovel for emptying, raise it completely and then pull the control rod to the yellow area of the rod and press the upper end of the electric switch.

To close the shovel, press the lower end of the electric switch until the control rod releases to the black area of the rod.

Operation of the shovel for blading or leveling

To use the tractor shovel for blading, use the handle on the right side of the shovel to raise it and then use the locking lever to lock it in the raised position.

Fuel sitting in gas tanks or gas containers for more than 30 days begins to degrade. Also, blended fuels and water in gasoline can form acids that corrode fuel-system components. Protect your investment - use John Deere fuel stabilizer with corrosion preventers and prevent hard starting, surging, lack of power, poor idle, flooding, and will not run or stay running conditions caused by poor-quality fuel. Ask your local John Deere dealer or visit JDParts.

Helpful tips:

• Add fuel stabilizer every time you purchase fuel.
• Deere gasoline-powered equipment is recommended to run on a minimum of 87 octane gasoline.
• John Deere Fuel-Protect for gasoline is safe to use in all types of gasoline, including gasoline/oil mixtures and blended fuels containing up to 10 percent ethanol.
• Use plastic fuel containers to store fuel; ask your local John Deere dealer.
• For best results, use a spill-proof gas can that automatically seals the gas can vent.
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed fuel can.
• Fill tank to the top every time the machine is put away.
  • Make sure tank is drained if stored for the winter or treated if left for prolonged periods of time.

Please refer to the operator’s manual for additional recommendations and warranty information.

Fuel related issues are not considered a warrantable condition as there is no defect in the materials or workmanship of the machine. 

For more information on fuel, visit John Deere Groundscare.

The Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the 3-bag Power Flow MCS. The chute includes a convenient handle and a fill indicator that tells the operator when the bags are getting full. 

 

One chute works with several tractor applications. Trim lines on the chute are referenced in the instructions so the chute can be cut to the proper length for the tractor/mower application.

 

The 3-bag hopper installs to the tractor with the Click-N-Go™ mounting system:

• Click-N-Go brackets must be ordered separately.

NOTE: The chute can be used with 48C/48X, 54C/54X, 60-in. (152-cm) 7-Iron™, 62C/62X, 62D, 54 HC, and 60 HC Mowers.

The Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the 2-bag Power Flow material collection system. The chute includes a convenient handle and a fill indicator that tells the operator when the bags are getting full.

One chute works with several vehicle applications. Trim lines on the chute are referenced in the instructions so the chute can be cut to the proper length for the vehicle/mower application.

The Power Flow chute is required, along with the high-performance Power Flow blower, to use the MC519 Cart MCS.

The 14-bu (493-L), 3-bag Power Flow MCS increases the versatility of the X500 Multi-Terrain Tractors and the GT and GX Series garden tractors equipped with a 48-in. (122-cm) or 54-in. (137-cm) Convertible or Edge™ Xtra mower and C-Series high-performance Power Flow blower.

The large 14-bu (493-L) capacity means the operator can collect a large area of grass or leaves before needing to stop to empty the bags.

The 7-bu (247-L) hopper provides an efficient means of collecting grass clippings and leaves using either the cut-and-throw rear bagger or the Power Flow material collection system (MCS):

• 38-in. (97-cm) and 42-in. (107-cm) mower decks use the cut-and-throw system.
• 48-in. (122-cm) and 54-in. (137-cm) mower decks use the Power Flow system.

The hopper design provides modern styling, great bagging performance, cleaner operation, and easy-to-empty bags.

The 7-bu (247-L) MCS features:

• 7-bu (247-L) capacity
• Easy-to-attach lower chute (ordered separately)
• Handle on chute
• Air exhaust duct
• Convenient spring-latch
• Airflow fill indicator
• Quik-Tatch mounting
• Sealed hopper top
• Loose-knit bags available

A loose-knit bag is available as an option for use with 7-bu (247-L) cut-n-throw rear baggers and Power Flow™ baggers:

• Two loose-knit bags are required.
• The loose-knit bag allows more air to flow through and provide more complete bag filling in wet and heavy grass conditions.

 

The MC519 is compatible with Select Series™ X320, X324, X340, X360, X380, X384, X390, X394, X500 Series Multi-Terrain, X700 Series Tractors, GT200, GX300, X400, and X500 Heavy-Duty Garden Tractors, and 110 through 455 Garden Tractors.

 

NOTE: MC519 is not compatible with D100 Series, LA100 Series, L100 Series, 100 Series, or Select Series model X300, X304, X310, X330, X350, X354, X370 Tractors, LT, LX, or SST Lawn Tractors, or G100 or G110 Garden Tractors.

 

The MC519 is designed to provide the versatility of two products in one - a utility cart or a material collector.

 

Utility cart:

• 7.5 cu ft (212 L) heaped or 500 lb (227 kg) of capacity
• Ideal for hauling topsoil, gravel, sand, firewood, mulch, etc.

 

Collector:

• Large, 19-bu (23-cu ft), (670-L) capacity with a standard equipment cover
• Can be equipped with a Power Flow blower and chute for vacuuming grass clippings, thatch, pine needles, and leaves

Potential customers include homeowners, commercial operators, nurseries, and estates.

Easy to hook up and operate

The MC519 hitch can be connected to the tractor without tools in about one minute.

 

In combination with non-jackknifing caster wheels, this semi-rigid hitch makes it easy to maneuver the cart/collector.

 

An easy-to-reach handle allows dumping the cart/collector from the tractor seat.

 

For dumping extra-heavy loads, the operator can use the hand grip on the front of the box.

A standard equipment cover can be installed in a matter of seconds to convert the utility cart to a collector:

• Large plastic window in the cover allows the operator to see when the collector is full.
• Cover folds flat for space-saving wall storage.

Strong construction

The MC519 has the durability to handle homeowner or commercial applications:

• Steel support structure is mig-welded for strength.
• Cart box is made of strong, 18-gauge, 0.05-in. (1.2-mm) steel for durability.
• Puncture-resistant 4-ply rated (PR) turf tires are standard equipment.
• Greaseable bearings (wheels and casters) enable long life.
• Cover is made of tough 14-oz (397-g) black vinyl-coated nylon. The lower sides are made of 9.5-oz (269-g) black polyester knitted cloth.

Power Flow option (Power Flow blower and discharge chute must be ordered separately)

When equipped with the optional blower and discharge chute (ordered separately), the MC519 becomes a material collection system.

The blower housing material is high-density polyethylene and the fan material is ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene:

• Lightweight for easy handling and minimal effect on mowing smoothness
• Will not rust or corrode
• Resists wear and abrasion caused by sand
• Contoured design for clean appearance and smooth grass flow

The 42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch can be used to counterbalance a heavy front or rear attachment and/or provide greater stability, especially when operating on hills.

This weight is constructed of cast iron and weighs approximately 42 lb (19 kg).

Some vehicles have built-in front and/or rear weight brackets to hang the weights on; others require a weight bracket that must be ordered separately.

X400/X500 Heavy-Duty Garden Tractors and X700 Series Tractors require the following parts when weights are installed on the front of the tractor:

• One  M147986 weight retaining rod (Parts)
• Two  M40461 spring clip (Parts)

Rear weight bracket is designed to hold two suitcase weights on X300 Tractors and up to four suitcase weights on X500 Multi-Terrain Tractors.

• This item required for 4-wheel-steer tractors only; weight bracket is built into frame of 2-wheel-steer tractors.
• It is particularly useful to counterbalance a front-mounted attachment such as a snow blower or blade.
• Weight bracket can be quickly mounted to the rear of the tractor.
• Weight bracket will not interfere with rear grass bagger mounting bracket.

Hardware is required for installing each front-wheel weight.

Requirements:

• Mounting may require drilling two holes in the wheel rim.
• BM17978 mounting hardware kit is required for each weight.

NOTE: Front-wheel weights are not available for special edition tractors because the styled front-wheel design does not have appropriate holes for mounting the wheel weights and no adapter is available.

M152726 is an approved alternative to M143520, standard side-discharge blade. M152726 improves cut-quality performance in certain grass conditions. It will increase the amount of lift or suction under the deck. It will be most beneficial for customers who are experiencing cut quality issues with the standard blade, especially in limp grass, typical in early spring and late fall. The blade will improve side-discharge performance, but a potential downside is increased blow-out in dry conditions.

The BM26238 dry-condition kit, 48A is available for 48A Accel Deep Mower Decks used on model year 2016 and later X300 and X500 Select Series™ Tractors and Residential ZTrak™ Mowers. The 48A dry-condition kit will also work with any X700 Signature Series Tractor (model year 2013 and later) that is equipped with a 48A Mower Deck.

The dry-condition kit will reduce the amount of blowout around the mower deck when side discharging, mulching, or bagging in dry grass and leaf conditions. For optimum mowing performance in lush-grass conditions, the dry-condition kit baffles may be removed.

Features and benefits

• Homeowners can now achieve results just like the professionals
• Brush is easy to adjust for varying mower cutting height
• Brush adjusts to varying ground conditions and allows the operator to freely maneuver the vehicle without damaging the turf
• The brush striping kit is a very economical and functional attachment

Compatible with the following:

• 48A or 54A - 48-in. (122-cm) or 54-in. (137-cm) Side-Discharge Mower for X350, X354, X370, X380, X384, X390, X394, X570, X580, X584, and X590 (model year 2016) Tractors

Order number: LP63761

Leveling gauge allows quick and accurate mower deck leveling and cutting height adjustment.

Can be used for:

• Lawn tractors
• Lawn and garden tractors
• Riding mowers
• Front mowers
• Commercial walk-behind mowers
• Zero-turn-radius mowers

MulchControl advantages and benefits

The MulchControl attachment for the 48A Mower Deck 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:

• A beautiful looking lawn
• Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
• Less fertilizer use
• Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings

How MulchControl works

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

• The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
  • The MulchControl baffle, or divider, between the left and middle spindles is about half way down. The height is designed to balance the mulching and side-discharge modes.
  • When the MulchControl baffle is open, the divider between the left and middle spindles passes a portion of the material to the discharge opening, along with the material from the middle and right spindle areas.
  • When the MulchControl baffle is closed, this material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

• The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
  • The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
• Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa takes only a few seconds.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

• Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
• Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
• Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
• Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.

MulchControl limitations

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

• When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
• When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
• When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired

MulchControl advantages and benefits

The MulchControl attachment for the 54A Mower Deck 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:

• A beautiful looking lawn
