The tractor is powered by a John Deere iTorque Power System, a combination of engine features and an exclusive hood design that provides superior lugging ability, even cooling, and durability.

A large 44.3 cu in. (726-cc), 21.5-hp (16-kW) engine has plenty of power and torque for superior performance. The larger, more powerful engine also allows the engine in the rear-discharge tractor to be operated at a lower 3100-rpm speed for quieter operation.

Key engine features include:

• 21.5 hp (16.0 kW)
• Large 44.3 cu in. (726-cc) displacement
• Quality features include:
• Cast-iron cylinder liners
• Overhead valves
• Full-pressure lubrication
• Replaceable oil filter
• Dual-stage air cleaner
• V-twin design:
• Excellent power and performance
• Easy starts
• Smooth operation

FLYWHEEL ALTERNATOR

A flywheel alternator provides plenty of capacity to quickly recharge the battery and power electrical equipment, such as lights or a sprayer:

• 12-amp charging capacity
• Regulated to keep the battery at full charge without risk of overcharging

FUEL TANK HAS LARGE, CONVENIENTLY LOCATED FILL OPENING

Large, 3-in. (7.6-cm) diameter fuel tank filler opening makes adding fuel easy:

• Located on the left fender
• Helps eliminate spillage
• 2-U.S. gal. (7.6-L) capacity
• A low-fuel light is provided on the tractor dash to tell the operator when it is time to refuel.

The innovative design of the 42-in. (107-cm) Edge™ Rear-Discharge Deck combines the best features for reliability and superior performance when mowing, collecting, and mulching grass and leaves:

• The mower deck is stamped from 11-gauge, 0.12-in. (3-mm) steel to provide smooth contours for a quality appearance and excellent performance.
• Easy to install or remove mulch plug is included as standard equipment.
• The included AM147289 blades provide optimal collection/rear discharge and good mulching results in many conditions. For optimal mulching, AM140332 mulching blades are available.
• With no side-discharge chute, the mower can trim on either side for mowing efficiency and convenience.
• A smaller storage area requirement is an additional benefit.
• A standard V-belt and non-timed blade design gives superior reliability and trouble-free operation.
• Offset mower blades permit blade overlap with the use of a standard V-belt drive.
• The blades cut cleanly without being able to contact each other.
• Cut-height increments of 0.25 in. (0.64 cm) allow for operating the mower at the optimum cutting height.
• An Exact Adjust deck-leveling system is provided to make keeping the deck properly adjusted easy.

The mower deck is contoured and free of obstructions to ensure optimum cutting and bagging performance:

• Grass clippings flow smoothly around the deck and up the chute into the hopper.
• Clipping buildup is minimized to ensure continued high-performance and easy cleanup.
• Special discharge blades (standard equipment) have a large wing to propel grass clippings up the chute and into the hopper.
• Mower fills and packs the 8.5-bu (300-L) hopper with a large volume of grass clippings and/or leaves.

STANDARD MULCH PLUG

Mulch plug easily installs in place of hopper:

• A mulch plug is included with the model year 2017 and later X350R as standard equipment (serial number 20,001-).
• Mulch plug is ideal for times when collecting grass clippings and leaves is not desired. The rear hopper can be easily removed and the mulch plug installed.
• Plug closes off opening on bottom of deck so material cannot enter the chute.
• The included AM147289 blades provide optimal bagging and rear discharge performance and good mulching results in many conditions.

• For optimal mulching, AM140332 mulching blades are available.

A wash port is provided on the mower deck. It can be used to supply water to the underside of the deck so it can be easily cleaned after use:

• The wash port is designed for a hose quick-connect fitting.
• Connect the hose to the wash port and operate the mower to clean.
• Using the wash port cleans bottom of deck and chute.
• The wash port works best if used immediately after the mowing job is completed.
• Use of the wash port prevents buildup of material from affecting performance the next time the mower is used.

Optional rear deflector (BM25065) easily installs in place of hopper:

• No tools required for installation
• Deflects clippings in an even pattern behind the tractor

‍

The innovative design of the rear hopper sets a high standard for collecting systems:

• Hopper is constructed of durable fabric for flexibility, where needed.

HOPPER SHIPPING

The rear hopper is shipped in the returnable shipping crate with the tractor:

• Minimizes shipping cost
• No extra carton material of which to dispose

The hopper is made of durable materials and sealed to keep dust away from the operator.
