Nice. I'm looking to replace my riding mower with something more capable. Considered a zero-turn, but they don't like wet slopes. Thought a side-by-side or a single seat ATV with a tow-behind mower would be nifty, but that's not their intended purpose. Then I got wise to 4WD garden tractors... This one is high on my list. Properly optioned out, I could eliminate three pieces of equipment in my shed with this tractor.
Hello, I just purchased this same tractor. I was wondering if you could tell me the JD part number for the front weights and if they just hook right onto the front without any added bracket? I need the front ballast for when I run my JD boom sprayer without my 60" deck attached. The front end seems to get a little light without the mower deck on it. Thanks!
@@KVUSMC-KU4SMC ah ok! yea I was wondering if this time of year has the best deals on tractors. You said that's a 2019 model. Is it any different than the 2020 models? How are the headlights on that tractor? Do they light up the night pretty well or will you be upgrading the headlights?
@@KVUSMC-KU4SMC ok well just as a tip, these guys installed LED lights and they all said it made a big difference.

Ok, so can you provide an update on ownership? How is your X750 performing? How many hours do you have on it now? How do you like the 48” deck? Any issues? Did you add a bagger? Thinking about ordering this tractor, not many reviews out there on the X750. Thanks for any feedback.
I had a 2004 X585 4x4 I have several videos of it on TH-cam with a 48 inch deck I love that Machine that is the reason why I got another X758 They havd been around A while
I could Of gotten the 1026R for 4000 grand less and a bucket But this Machine will is more renovable shorter wheel base I wanted a 48 Inch Deck Plus I can Remove my 3 point hitch More Grass cutting And Garden work I owned a 2320 that is bigger than the one series and a X350 I just needed to wrap it up into one do it all Garden Tractor
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
quick question - do the suitcase weights just hang off the bracket that is already on teh front, or do you have to have a differnt add on bracket for the weights?
She’s a beauty of a machine, Good luck with it buddy. I just purchased the X739 a month ago was a hard decision not going with the diesel model 758, but I have acres of grass and plenty of trees to go around so i went with the 739 because of the 4 wheel steering. Awesome you got the 3 point hitch!
Awesome Machine the X739 is Awesome Brother I do allot of Gardening the 3 point hitch comes in handy They are Awesome machines you can't go wrong Buddy great decision
John deere doesnt fabricate decks. On the ZTRs and compact tractors theres the 7 Iron which is a very durable stamped deck. This one has the Accel deep deck which is very nice as well. For the price, I do think this machine deserves the 7 iron.
Nice! Have viewed your video over and over still waiting for the snow to melt so I can pick my 758 up in the spring. Went with the 54 inch deck, all mine will need to be complete is a CPC Loader, no more shoveling. Thank You for posting this Great Overview! Vet to Vet May God Bless Brother.
Did you buy this on the Black Friday deal Deere advertised for this model in November? I was going to buy a x738 earlier but the dealer told me to hold off, glad I did, got this gem cheaper than the 738 with the 54 in driver over/auto connect mower. Check out the loader CTC offers for this tractor, may have to break out the checkbook again Ken. Have A Great Weekend!
Thank you for this review. I live outside Chesterfield, VA as well and was looking at getting this exact setup in the next couple of months. Definitely great to see all the detail you've shown!
I only have 4 hours on mine and the spring that tightens the mower belt came off. Did you experience that How do you get the spring back on by yourself Thank you
Damn! These lawn tractors are getting advanced! Leather seats, 24hp Diesel, 4WD, tail lights, Screens and a phone charger plug? This makes my 90's MTD lawn tractor look ancient!
Just out of curiosity why did you buy the small deck? I have the same one but mine is a 2015 & I have the 60" commercial deck on mine - same 3 point hitch , 60" back blade , 54" snow blade. The best investment I ever made & no I don't let the wife drive it either ! They are the best there is!
Well I'll tell ya! You went and spent for the top of the line 700 series with the diesel. But you by the cheap mower deck were you have dink around underneath to unhook it. Then pull it out to sharpen the blades unless you run them all year. You could have went with the 54" drive over deck and had the auto connection put on instead of paying hight bucks for the three point imatch hitch which you said you were going to take for some reason. There made to stay on to hook up fast to equipment. You could have gone with a Titan hitch which is built heavier and less money..Well I hope you enjoy ur machine and you get ur moneys worth for the diesel. Remember don't run out of fuel or you'll be in for a treat to get it back running .its not like a car!!
Beautiful tractor there fella, congratulations on the new diesel purchase. I probably would have just kept the old X585, capability wise it is almost the same tractor, just gas vs diesel, would have saved 10s of thousands of dollars over the years not having to buy all the other tractors and mowers you had over the years. just my opinion no disrespect. anyways good luck with it, I hope it serves you well for many years to come.
Thank you sir Your exactly right I could of saved allot of money 💰 you live and Learn yes the X585 could hang with the best of them Thanks For stopping by Brother
I own a 2013 X758, bought it new. Has 350hrs on it and hasn’t had one problem at all. Best lawn tractor out there. Still to this day i enjoy getting on that thing
I brought a Zero Turn from Tim about 4 years ago and love it. Traded in an older John Deere . I was very pleased with the offer they made and the entire process. Just moved to another property where I will need a larger lawn tractor that I can use on hilly terrain. I plan to contact Tim in a couple of months for a 700 series. This will be my third purchase from James River Equipment in Chester. Awesome place!
I'm trying to decide between the x750 and x758. Just wanted to ask if the more aggressive tires and 4 wheel drive do any damage to your lawn when your mowing? I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks
The diesel uses about 1/2 the fuel of gas. It uses a lot more air which causes the screens to clog up with dry gas. The diesel will go about 3500 hours before overhaul vs. 1700 for the gas. No problem with the tires as I need them for mowing ditches.
@@KVUSMC-KU4SMC I have x739 (and a zillion trees to mow around). Struggled with 54 vs 60 inch deck. Ended up with 60. There are a few places I can't go. But happy with the choice as I have literally one foot more cutting width. As well, the uncut circle is teensy. Big wide deck and 4 wheel steering is a sweet combo. Also the deck sits much wider than the tires and I can use this overhang well. The x700s are sure sweet machines!
very cool. :) i dont need 2 upgrade my deere mower becuz im still happy with it.. its never let me down.. now big red is a different story, he broke down back in july & the money is not there 2 fix it right now. been thinking about selling it, then maybe in a year or 2 try & get a deere gator with a fully inclosed cab..
I ordered a 2020 X758 today with 48” deck and bagger. Great review! Mine is coming from the factory in Wisconsin so it will be about 2-3 weeks before delivery. A sweet tractor! Great review KVUSMC!
Great Choice Brother you can't go wrong it is the Elite of all Garden tractors and yes it is s John Deere Amen keep me posted I love the 48 inch deck I appreciate the compliment
Thank you for your service and thank you for another great video! Enjoy your X758 - she is a beauty!
she is an expensive beauty

Yoir Exactly right buddy I totally agree 👍
Awesome Machine Brother !
Thank you sir 🙏
Wow, thats a nice deere! I didnt know the X758 could get the 48 inch deck, on John Deeres site it currently says you can only get the 54 or 60 inch.
You can still get the 48 inch deck Buddy
Sweet sweet tractor
Thanks Brother
Nice, John Deere 👍
Thank you Sir
Looks like someone had an early Christmas :)
Yes Sir it looks that way buddy Merry Christmas

Awesome
Thank you sir
Looks good Kenny! You can do some serious farming now...take care!
Thanks so much Yes This Garden Tractor is one of a kind
Beautiful. How much torque?
I'm not exactly sure buddy
Do you have to remove the brush guard to take the deck off? And have you done that yet? Wondering if it’s a pain.
Yes you do buddy 👍

how much do it cost?
About 13 grand depends on what you want on it
a little over priced thou , you can get the 1025r for the same price or cheaper bonus is the bucket
I think you can get that at Lowe's big box stores small tires

Is that a stamped mower deck? Why couldn't they weld the deck together with thicker gauge steel?
