The John Deere X740 lawn mower is a large machine that is part of the X700 series. Smaller models include the John Deere X728 and the John Deere X729, while if you are looking for something a little bigger, then you might consider something like the John Deere X744 lawn mower. The JD X740 gets it’s power from a Yanmar built engine. This specific engine model is the 3TNV76. It’s a diesel engine with a displacement of 1.1 liters. It’s power output comes in at 24 hp. This Yanmar engine is liquid cooled by a system requiring 2.8 liters of coolant to fully fill it. Air entering the engine is first filtered through a paper element air filter before entering the combustion chamber. The oil pan in the engine can hold 2.6 liters of oil.

Driving the John Deere X740 is very easy for a number of reasons. One is because it has power steering. Another is because it has cruise control (which is very handy if you are cutting large playing fields). The other reason that it’s easy to drive the JD X740 because it has a hydrostatic transmission, which does away with the gear stick and gears, meaning that your foot has complete control over the speed (both forward and reverse).

The John Deere X740 has been in production since 2006 in JD’s Horicon facility in Wisconsin. The tractor lawnmower is started via a 12 volt battery that is charged via a 40 amp alternator. If you are someone who owns a large garden and also needs a machine that can perform a range of other tasks, you should definitely consider the JD X740. While you may not necessarily need this machine to cut your lawn during the winter, you can attach a snow blower to it to clear you driveway.
