SELECT SERIES™ X500, X520, X534 (4WS), 
AND

 X540 MULTI-TERRAIN™ TRACTORS

•  Four models make up John Deere’s line of Select 

Series X500 Tractors. These tractors provide 
the customer with excellent stability, traction 
and versatility.

•  John Deere iTorque™ Power Systems with 

25-horsepower* V-twin air-cooled engines and 
26-horsepower* liquid-cooled engines are used 
in the X500 Multi-Terrain Tractors.

•  The iTorque Power System includes a 

combination of engine features and exclusive 
hood design that provide more lugging ability, 
even cooling, and durability.

•  Engines feature premium components for 

excellent reliability and long engine life. Included 
are cast-iron cylinder liners, overhead valves, 
full-pressure lubrication with replaceable oil 
fi lter, and dual-stage air fi lter.

•  Fully regulated 15 amp electrical system provides 

quick, reliable starts. It also powers the standard 
headlights and electric PTO clutch.

•  Hydrostatic transaxle is sealed in one housing for 

effi cient operation. A replaceable fi lter keeps the 
oil clean for long life. Full-length axle housings 
are designed to handle heavy loads.

•  Heavy-Duty CargO™ Mounts make installation of 

rear-mounted equipment like the 7- and 14-bushel 
material collection hoppers easy.

•  All models use John Deere’s exclusive Twin 

Touch automatic drive system. Dual foot pedals 
allow the operator to easily select tractor speed 
and direction while keeping both hands on the 
steering wheel for maximum productivity.

•  Cruise control is standard on all models.

•  Welded frame is made of 3-mm thick steel for 

excellent strength and reliability. A heavy-duty 
cast-iron front axle pivots at the center and 
oscillates to keep all wheels on the ground when 
traveling over uneven terrain. 

•  Sector-and-pinion steering (X500, X520) or 

convenient power steering with tilt steering 
wheel (X534, X540) is standard.

•  Metal bushings are used at the steering spindles 

to provide easy steering and long life. A grease 
cavity between the bushings provides continuous 
lubrication during operation.

•  A tight turning radius provides superb handling. 

The X534 has 4-wheel steering that gives this 
model even tighter turning for superior 
maneuverability and easier trimming around 
trees and bushes. 

•  Operator controls are color-coded and identifi ed 

with English words for easy identifi cation and 
logically placed for easy use. 

•  Comfortable, 15- or 16-inch seats provide a 

cushioned ride and good support for the 
operator. The open back design allows air to 
circulate to keep the operator’s back cool.

•  The seat can be easily adjusted fore and aft 

7 inches. The unique seat suspension system 
uses two adjustable coil springs to give the 
operator a smooth, stable ride.

•  On the X500 and X520, a lift-assist spring is coupled 

with a foot-pedal lift system to make raising the 
mower and other implements both convenient and 
easy. The spring can be adjusted to accommodate 
different implements. 

•  On the X534 and X540, hydraulic power lift provides 

an even higher level of convenience.

•  The lift system allows mower cutting heights 

from 1 to 4 inches.

•  X500 Series Tractors come with a 48- or 54-inch 

Edge Xtra mower deck. Features include ¼-inch 
cut-height increments, 4-point mounting, and 
wider wheels. These mowers offer excellent 
cutting performance and easy convertibility.

•  Mower decks feature Quik-Tatch™ mounting, 

dual-belt drive, wash port, greaseable spindles, 
powder paint, and many other high-quality 
features to ensure long, trouble-free use.
