X-Series heavy-duty lawn and garden tractors offer quick, tool-free implement connections
The new X-Series heavy-duty lawn and garden tractors have been totally re-designed to increase capability and versatility. An industry exclusive four-wheel drive is standard on all X500 models. Ergonomic features include power steering, tilt steering, cruise control, twin pedal foot controls, high back seats (with 6-way adjustment to meet different size operators), and finger tip control of hydraulic levers, power take-off, and front and rear lights. Additional performance features include modulated hydraulic power take-off clutch, reverse implement option, and 13.7-kilometers per hour (8.5-miles per hour) forward ground speed. Enhancements including tapered splines and lock-back collars on drive shafts, self-aligning draft arms, and a front quick-hitch make changing attachments a breeze. Tractor models include two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and four-wheel steer versions; powered by Kawasaki gas or Yanmar diesel engines ranging from 17 to 19 kilowatts (21 to 25 horsepower).
