- I didn't mention it in the video but they do have available drive over decks in 54 and 60 inches. The green decks are commercial and have been discontinued and you can only get the standard yellow deck.

You can put a jumper wire between the 2 wires on the little yellow switch for the mow in reverse and it will stay on all the time.
sorry to ask a dumb quest what is a jumper wire, and how do I install it?
@@paulmosley6157 Ummm 🤔 here ---->>> th-cam.com/video/lLIpqk894Is/w-d-xo.html that will explain it.. Some Deere mowers have a little yellow button on the left side of the dash you can press and some like the X750 and X758 you pull up on the blade pto switch. Either one can be bypass so you don't have to press (or pull) the switch to mow in reverse.
I super glued mine down lol
@@Jthorn58great idea I gotta remember that I’m dealing on on today can’t make my mind up on gas or diesel but I guess spend the extra cash and get diesel
Have one myself and really like the ride and torque it has
Yeah I had an Lt190 before and it was just a lot of work to mow the hills. This makes 2 hours of riding easy.
I have the 54" plow for mine and it is worth every penny. I have two driveways and it cleans them up real fast. I have had my x738 for 8 years now and enjoy every time I use it. So far, problem free.
Nice video.
Two things. If you reverse the raise lower connections on your hydraulic connections so that the bottom lever controls raise lower function, you will find that pushing the bottom lever full forward places the plow in “float” mode. The plow lowers and floats with the contour of the ground surface ( without downward hydraulic pressure). A nice feature.
Second, i don’t modify the rpms on mine to reverse. Blades continue to rotate in reverse if you pull up (slightly) on the pto mechanism on the right OR press the yellow button on the left side of steering wheel. Not sure why Deere designed w both options but there are times when you use the left hand to push ( e.g. when the beer is in the right... jk).
If I'm shopping for a riding lawn mower I really want this model. It has everything you ever want in one.
Nice tractor and thanks for the video. I thought you might mention the turning radius while mowing. It should turn very sharp unlike a compact utility tractor which has a much heavier front axle which is necessary to support the weight of a loader. Specified turn radius is about 2 feet compared to the JD 1025r which is more like 7 feet. Big difference there. The 1025r also has the ROPS that will annoy you continually if you are mowing around trees and other low hanging obstacles. For mowing, pretty hard to best what you have there.
Very good review, thank you. I am looking at this model and the Kubota GR2120 - Kubota diesel, 4x4, 54" deck, Front mounted Snowblower, Glide Steer for sharper turning. I really like this Deere and I really like the Kubota Glide Steer system for steering. Right now it looks like whoever gets their model in stock first will be the winner - man is stuff hard to come by nowadays!
What did you go with?
In Mowing 90 acres over the years I’ve also found you can get about 1600 hours before overhaul on the gas models but 3500 hours on the Yanmar diesels. Fuel consumption is about 1/2 as much as the gas equivalents. Make sure to get the optional anti scalp roller.
I like the x758 and all around john deer. But I Opted for the 1025R not much more cost different from the 2. But the 1025R gives all most unlimited attachments.
Not a bad point. But I don't like that the 1025r has tier 4 emissions. I don't want that potential headache for a homesteading tractor.
Nice machine. I have an X590 and I’d like to get one of these so we can have his and hers mowers lol. FYI, it’s generally recommended to not use the hose attachments on the mower deck. You risk getting water in the spindle bearings causing rust and premature failure. Just blow it out with compressed air after use.
How do you like your x590? Which width deck do you have?
@@DH-mf2lv I love the X590. Very wife friendly with the fuel injection and HST. Just turn the key and go. I went with the 48in deck. Went around the property and measured the narrowest areas. Overall great machine.
I will admit that I'm quite jealous! I want one! With a heated hard cab, front end loader, plow, brush grapple, 3 point hitch, and a vast plethora of rear attachments. Ya know just the basics is all.
They make loaders for these!?!
@@Huntersprojects Yeah there's a few different ones available for it out there. Most of them are aftermarket. I don't believe JD makes one for it anymore, but I could be wrong. You can do a Google search and find them pretty quickly.
I was hoping you would tell us how much for one like this and I am good at fixing things that backup button would go down under the backup paddle
How well does it do in plowing or earth moving? Does it struggle at all? Ever used it with a bucket to try and clear brush?
With the hydraulic lift on the deck do you have any idea how high the deck is when you drop it?
Drop on the ground for removal you mean? I have my deck wheels set far enough down so I don’t have to worry about scalping.
Best review of this on TH-cam!! What can you tell me about the gas vs the diesel version? Never worked on anything diesel
The gas is good and all but will drink fuel and that’s the main reason I didn’t want it. The diesel is pretty efficient and the it doesn’t bog down and it’s very torquey. It’s great for plowing my driveway and mowing 2-3 hours if I need it too
Also diesels typically hit their peak torque at lower rpms which will make them last a lot longer. Whereas the typical gasoline engine needs to be run at full throttle in order to hit their peak torque which will tend to make them use more fuel especially under a load. In my opinion.
Engage pto implements like the mower at a lower throttle rpm then move up to whatever manual says do and to disengage an implement slow the rpm a bit. If you engage at full throttle it puts to much stress way too fast on everything and will wear or break it all faster. My Kubota BX recommends 3200 rpm for maximum blade tip speed on a 54 inch deck. Just read the manual or ask your dealer if you can’t find it in the manual. Have fun !
Sweet tractor. I just ordered one myself
How did you get a green deck instead of the yellow?
Yeah I've got that problem too having to lean over to touch the right rear tire down!
Wheel weights would help with that problem
How do you set the scalp tires for a 3 inch cut on a 60 HC? How many empty holes would
There be?
The front doesn’t match the back for me. I just move the deck to the height I want and then put the wheels barely touching the ground
Great video mate, do you notice noise from the front wheels due to the hydraulic awd? Still undecided on the x750 or x758
I do not notice any noise. If all you’re doing is mowing then a x750, but on the same note you shouldn’t be getting one for *just* that. Between snow, steep hills, and wanting a tiller in the future I could not get by with 2WD
@@Rob_Cleans_Cars Ok awesome thanks mate, i pulled the pin on a brand new x758 with 54" auto connect and brush guard and just took delivery of it. Wow what a machine, its like putting a comfy lounge chain on a tank it's so comfortable to drive. Thanks for your video in helping me decide.
Oh I plan buying that John Deere thanks for infor have nice day
Does it have tilt steering?
I'm assuming so
I just ordered one with the bumper/air ride seat and 54" deck
Yeah it does. I wanted that seat as well but I cheaped out
Love that hood scoop!! :)
I am seriously looking into this one
What year mower is this? My dealer saying I cannot do this. 7 iron deck on this mower
2019, you can absolutely get a 7iron deck on any x7 of this “body style”, but the 7 iron was discontinued so you need to find one used. So I would imagine that the sales person is telling you correct based on what’s available new, but it can be bought used
What did the dealer get you for with the 60" deck and plow?
I paid for the deck and snowplow separately. I believe it was all of $3000 for the deck and $1500 for the plow. I believe the tractor itself was 10,500
@@Rob_Cleans_Cars For that kind of money, why wouldn't you spend the couple grand extra to get a 1025r? You'd gain so much functionality at comparatively little cost. I'm genuinely inquiring, not trying to shame your decision or anything.
Good question. I paid approximately 10k for the X758. The 1025r base price is about 15k, and the real added cost is a backhoe and bucket if you so chose and with a mower you’ll be almost 25k. I don’t see 25k in utility in that for myself as I mow a lot and I don’t want to rutt and chew my lawn with aggressive tires/heavier machine.
@@tylernicholson5319 If a beautiful cut is what you are after, nothing beats the X7s, they have a better, lighter footprint. The 1025R is better suited for everything but mowing, mainly the reason you hardly ever see one with a deck, usually taken off for ground clearance.
You still get full hydraulics on the X7 and Little Buck Loader makes a beautiful bucket for this one specifically, The Little Bull. About$3800.
And the loader is usually the big want on the 1025R, no-one ever buys one without the loader.
I like your John Deere X758... how can I get one used or new... where were you bought it from and can you tell me and give me the price as well, I just want to get some idea how much to buy one...
How did you get the 7 iron deck? All the ones I've seen come with the yellow edge deck. Thanks
Unfortunately they no longer make the 7 iron for the x758. I bought the last one the dealer had. That was recent though so maybe call around see if you can find one? They’ll pop up used too I’m sure.
They don't come with the edge deck. That's only available on the E100 series. The X700 come with the 48" AccelDeep and 54 and 60" come with the High Capacity
Run the tractor at full speed to get your deck speed up. I have the X595 which is the same frame and engine as yours. I have a 54 front blade but I use the composite cutting edge on my 80 yards of concrete and hard surface my skid shoes. I also have a loader and snowblower for my tractor also. My neighbor bought the gas model and I can mow three times to his one time now he said he is going to get the diesel next time.
Does this model have mechanical injection or computerized?
A very nice video and tractor. That yellow button to press when going into reverse is like many other "safety" annoyances and makes the machine more dangerous. I do back and forth work under tree limbs and could not deal with that. Thanks.
Is there any benefit to having this mower over a zero turn? I’m using a d140 John Deere now.
This tractor can mow, plow, tow a dump cart, use rear implements, etc. Zero turns are one trick ponies. They mow great but that’s all they do.
Zero turns get stuck easy and not good on hills or side slopes
🛑🛑 Do you use any weight when plowing snow?
Thank You. 😀👍
Not for plowing or a box blade on 3pt.
Can you switch from 2wd to 4wd? Or it’s it always stuck in 4wd?
It's awd. Front only power a lot when traction is low. It steers like a dream.
if you weren't plowing would you go 4 wheel steering over 4 wheel drive?
Probably not. The 4WD is a boss on hills, and this turns sharp. I’ve also added a box blade and 3 point harness since buying. If they made four wheel steer and 4wd together like they use to I would have paid extra for that
Awsome tractor! You might want to read the manual about the rpms to mow at and i would do what the manual recommends.
Good video Sir nice tractor, How is the speed? I know it’s heavy but is it fast ,
its not heavy, that's pretty much the tiniest tractor that Yanmar produces right there, Yanmar's machines don't get any smaller than that thing.
What is squeaking so much when you’re sitting on it? Can it be fixed?
The seat pivots need to be lubricated.....
Look like you can drive over the deck?
Do you use tire chains in the winter?
No not with the 4wd it’s great. Rarely even use the locker. If you got a 2wd with the really pedestrian tires (idk what they’re called) you’d want chains
Do you know the difference between 758 and 754?
758 is awd and 2 wheel steer, 754 is 2wd but 4 wheel steer
Do they make a diesel 4x4 with all wheel steering? Pitter Patter!
Yep! I have the 749 ultimate, they didn’t make very many but it’s essentially the better version of the 758
Think about buying one of these I mow grass for commercial with a X475 things nice I’d say but upgrade from a craftsman LT1000 😂 are these worth 18 G’s? I’d love a diesel but should I just buy a 1025R or a BX?
Fair question. A 1025r will not mow with the same ease and a X758. Lower center of gravity and better size for it etc etc. if you **need** a bucket then yes go bigger. I’ve also since put a 3 point hitch on and blade and it work great. Does it (almost) all.
How did you get the 7 iron deck with the x758?
It was available with the 7 series until about 4 years ago. You can probably find them use. I will say though it wont come with auto connect (not really hard) but the 7 iron deck is heavy as sin.
@@Rob_Cleans_Cars Thank you for the response. I just had mine delivered today & I love it. I was curious about the 7 iron because I asked several dealers about getting the 7 iron deck and they told me that it was not available on the x series.
How much do they cost
Do you have a front loader for it? If so , which one?
No front loader. They were discontinued for this model years ago.
@@Rob_Cleans_Cars aftermarket loaders are available if you are interested
Get a Johnny Bucket scoop.... best investment you will make in this machine or Any power equipment. This machine takes the "Sr." version (Jr. is not hydraulic). You'll never need a wheelbarrow again and you can bury a horse w/it if you want 😀. Add on at least the toothbar for digging and maybe the snow-edge for plowing. (but they have a plow blade that swaps in of you want, too) Very few ppl need to "load" anything with a loader, and this keeps your cg low and safe (for mom or kids too) and the frame isn't up over the wheels so you can ram right into stuff if you want to.... you'll Never have that fun with a loader. Go get one. I have absolutely no connection with them, just have their Jr. model on my Simplicity and it's awesome-
How hard is it to bypass all the safety stuff on these?
Very easy
Nice tractor and I would love to own one but my 455 just keeps going and going and I have the blade,the 40 loader,and a snowblower for it and can’t imagine what the cost with all that would be for the 758 lol
I considered a newer John Deere diesel, but in the end I just bought a 2 owner 430. I don’t think I could work on one of these, and I don’t think these will last.
How much did you pay for a 455? I’d like a X758 but I’m to cheap to buy new!
@@Huntersprojects I got the whole deal 2 years ago for $5000.00. The tractor had only 800 hours on it and all the receipts from the yearly dealer service
Very Cool Mower If I Had To Get A New One This Is What I’d Get. Can You Do A Video Of The Snow Blade Attachment And Disconnecting And Connecting The Mower Deck?
kubota ones has same set up but cheaper then deere plus its a hydrulic deck lift with shaft plus kubota doesnt have that system push a yellow button and deeper cup holder
I Only Like John Deere
@@boltonbiggs3 deere dealers in cannada is accully gone down hill bad because bad poor customer service and they dont go over the equipment with customers wich kubota dealers does plus deere dealers in canada accully lost 70 %customers
Oh Wow I Didn’t Know That.
And How Did You Buy A Green Mower Deck. The Only One I’ve Seen Are Yellow?
How do you get a green mower deck instead of yellow?
Its John Deere new deck color, not an option
Can you secure the yellow button permanently down and just use it like that?
Just use a jumper wire on the back of the switch, very simple.
WERE DID YOU GET IT
Landpro
How come you mower deck is green most are yellow
I loved everything about this mower except the price of a new one. I purchased a used 3 year old Yanmar 4x4 tractor for less than half the cost of a new one .
Tell us about the 7-iron deck. That is not a standard offering as far as I know.
Or not lol
Beast
Don't have the money for one but I love diesel and especially love diesel tractors
Still check the used market. I would buy a well maintained 1000 hour used one over an brand new box store disposable one for the same price
@Rob_Cleans_Cars I found a x354 2024 model that has 66 hours on it. The guy said he can transfer the warranty. Selling it for 3400
Nuthin' runs like a DEERE !!!
Yea My wife took over mine too.
That’s how it goes I guess lol
One thing I’ve noticed on this model is when it shuts off it shutters
I love zero turns but how you supposed to mow and drink beer on a zero turn because you have to keep both of your hands on the handles. This is ideal 😎👍🏿🤙🏿
Man I want a r drive that thing
to work. 🤤🇺🇲
Sad to see you have to buy a guard for the front when the front grill could just be the guard. They make you buy a plastic hood, then you buy the guard, then the hood still breaks and you have to buy a new hood.
you need ah giant air horn on that thing some duel antennas and a cb radio.......
i can tell you for a fact that the hood on a mower a fraction of that size is 800 dollars your hood would be 1500 maybe more. I need a mower like that i have 3 acres around my house and it's very difficult mowing but i'm not crazy about spending 12k. Currently i'm using a very small JD riding mower and it takes me 4 hours to mow. I was looking today at an X390 that's an option which is more reasonable at 5500 dollars
An OEM John Deere Green Mower Deck...???
That is my dream bro.i got a e130.that was all I could afford
This is a very sturdy and well built mower. I thought I wouldn't like the foot operated speed control but after one use th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTZSPVwJFBv2hORqhQamtxi-tAe5K2EtC , I can't believe I ever had one without it. It drives like a car with an automatic transmission. Easy to adjust mowing speed according to grass depth/thickness. I have yet to get used to the long throw of the blade engagement lever but kind of get why it is that way. It allows you to hold mowing for short moments if you need. The engine seems very substantial and the frame has very little flex, both adding up to an impressive package. All my previous tractors were 18 to21 hp with 42in decks. This one is 23/46. I mow about 1.5 acres about every 5 days here in Alaska and that mowing time has been reduced by about 20%, partly due to the very tight turning radius. No loop arounds lol. Hour meter, cruise control, reverse mowing capability,deck cleanout and easy assembly all add up to a very well thought out tractor.
Who buys an X758 and suggests Busch Lite?! Haha. Nice machine!
Buy aftermarket gator blades. The gator has a longer cutting edge length, mulching teeth, and is easy to sharpen with a flat hand file. JD factory blades are junk.
That's been my experience also.
I want this! lol.
In Canada these tractors are over $22k not including the mower deck…they are ridiculously priced!
What isn’t anymore! lol. But 5 years I’ve owned it and would still buy it again.
@@Rob_Cleans_Cars I had a 455 that was absolutely amazing!…it was getting old and rickety so I gave it to my godson to restore and it looks and works like new again!..these tractors are heirloom tractors…they’re made so good that your grandchildren will be mowing with it!…I know my old 455 will be mowing grass for at least another 10 years and it’s almost 30 years old now!..extremely well made units!
@@MrMan5014 Agreed. I plan on this being a lifetime machinw
Love everything about it but I'd be bypassing that reverse mow interlock crap.
Nobody wants that.
always run full rpms you'll tear it up
I want one of these....but my yard is only .63 of an acre. Plus this mower costs $16,000, so there's that.
So wish I had like 12 grand for one if these
Said the same thing be nice but this thing cost more than my side by side
A 2023 model x758 tractor wirh 60" cutting deck is little over 17 grand. I might go ahead and buy one with 2 grand 3 point hydraulic hutch. Akao buy a 3 grand 48" rear tiller so I can earn extra income tilling garden beds and flower beds for other folks.
Living in northeastern region of Tennessee lots of people have too many hillsides on their property. Si I could advertise to cut hills property's and earn good side income when I retire in 6 more years at the young age of 64.
u sure u need all that beef that uh 100 hectacre traffic bump got run wide open for proper cooling and exaust prep
Got x758 4x4 diesel wit 54 deck 275 hours for sale
Park Hi Power
You really need a $15,000 lawn tractor? I'm getting the S240 with 48" cutting with front blade for $3,800 out the door. I don't know about you, but I can think of a whole bunch of other stuff I could buy with the remaining $11,200 I saved. And I'm a Diesel nut with a Mercedes Diesel, a diesel bus conversion, and a Diesel Kenworth motorhome, 2-Diesel generators.
I have x749 ultimate which is the big brother to this thing, its aws and 4wd it was probably close to 20k and it was 100% worth it
But it’s not just a lawn mower, although it does mow excessively well. There is a bucket list of attachments you can get for it that aren’t lawn related. Some people will have an ATV for plowing and a mower for mowing. Rather then having 2 subpar machines to maintain, you can have one excellent one that would do better at all the jobs.
@@Rob_Cleans_Cars I have about 3/4 acre of lawn. So for 7 months need a mower with bagging and for 5 months a blade on the front (maybe snow blower later). So an el cheapo S240 works for me. Actually-I don't understand why JD doesn't come out with battery powered tractors? Craftsman/Cub have a 42" that has 2 hour battery life.
I’m mowing about 3.5 acres. Imo under an acre is really small to spend much of anything on a mower like you said. For as much as I use mine I couldn’t even consider anything electric.
@@Tchristman100 The X700 isn't a lawn mower, its a tractor. This machine weighs 1200 lbs with a rider and can use ground contact implements like a plow or tiller. I believe they are very competitively priced for the power, capabilities and features they offer as the next step is a subcompact that is going to start at several thousand more and may be to big for many jobs. I have two acres and a 1025R size is not suitable for my property but the capabilities are still necessary for a number of tasks which this tractor fills perfectly. I'm hoping to get one someday soon and because I agree with Rob, this is a do it all type machine, instead of spending the money on 3 machines with three maintenance bills, tires etc you can have one good tractor that does it all and will last forever if well maintained.
The home depot online is not a good place to order a mower. paid for one 3 weeks ago and cant reach anyone that knows anything about it . called home depot 10 times called Pape' john deere. in sandpoint a week ago and they said they had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. they lied. it's been sitting there for 3 weeks. still dont have my mower.
That mower is 18k now.
Damn you’re right I just checked. With tax a plow, deck, 3 point with box blade is 25k! Sheeeesh
That motor is designed to run wide-open
Wish U would of went on a ride at full speed.
sounds like a car when starting up.
It's ALWAYS just RPM, and NEVER RPMS... Remember we're just measuring the number of revolutionS (plural) in just one minute (singular)...! Therefore jut RPM, NEVER RPMS...! 1 RPM, 2,500 RPM, 10,350 RPM...
I got a John Deere L100 i bought for a 100 dollars can do the same thing as this thing.
Nice. Want a cookie?
@@SteelSurgeon How about your moms cookie???
WTF is wrong with the dash display it looks like its flickering
No, always mow at full throttle. It helps keeps the engine cool and puts less strain and wear on the engine. Always run at full throttle no matter what.... also engage blades at full throttle. theyre designed to run like that. always engage and disengage at full throttle, and always run at full throttle.
Good to know. I'll take any advice.
Never engage or disengage at full throttle. And you're not hurting it at all running at a lower throttle setting. It's liquid cooled with a thermostat. Air cooled engines you should mow at full throttle. Very nice tractor and video.
I agree air cooled mowing should be full throttle but liquid cooled you can idle and mow if you wanted lol at least without overheating. And if it did get hot theirs a warning light. I run my diesel about 60% throttle when brush hogging and 80% with the finish mower
@@semiprofessional8470 why mow at full throttle with air cooled? You just have to keep moving with them to get air to them. Makes really no difference high speed or low.
As an oem supplier run it at wide open throttle. Designed to be run wide open.
Seat sounds like it’s made in china
oil that seat
Those machines are way overpriced! Your paying for union wages and benifits. They are a better product than the box store crap as long as your up above the 300 series. And don't be fooled by the low end stuff at the dealer. It's the exact same crap as the box stores and even built in the same plant. Ever notice the brilliant engineering with the way the fuel tank sits in the tractor? No hold- down of any kind . Just floats in a confined space. You think spilling your beer is a problem? Just wait until a hole is worn through the fuel tank from bouncing around with every little bump or rut you drive over! A cars battery and even that tractor battery is secure for that very reason. What the hell was John Deere thinking ? ... or maybe not!
That mower has a Kubota diesel
It has a Yanmar engine.
Your dash Should not be doing that
It’s the camera not the dash
a kubota diesel engine in a deere lol
Its actually a Yanmar diesel.
@@northdakotaham1752 it sounded like a kubota unless the yammar is copying off kubota
@@michaelmactavish1728 not sure about that...but I have read that Yanmar makes the entire tractor for John Deere.
@@northdakotaham1752 that's not true. If you look on the frame of any jd tractor there is a little plate with the serial number, month and year of assembly and the place where it was built. For most compacts it is in Moline, Illinois.
@@lucapecorari8801 that seems logical...but since JD is already using Yanmar engines, what about the transaxle? Is that made by others also? I will look on the tractors here, 1025r and just bought a new X758 with Yanmar diesel. Could it be that the tractors are only just assembled in Moline?
