John Deere X300 Riding Mower Parts

The John Deere X300 was introduced in 2006 as part of the Select Series, designed to offer premium features and performance for residential users. This model replaced the Sabre and Scotts models sold at big box retailers. The X300 came standard with a Kawasaki engine, known for its smooth operation and longevity. Engine options included the Kawasaki FH491V, a 17 HP twin-cylinder in early models, and later the Kawasaki FS600V, ranging to 18.5 HP. It features a hydrostatic transmission, providing effortless speed control and maneuverability. Available deck widths included 42 inches and 48 inches. Key features included a comfortable high-back seat, easy-to-use controls, and a durable frame. The X300 is well-suited for homeowners with medium to large-sized lawns who demand a dependable and comfortable mowing experience. Unlike the entry-level D100 series or the LA series, the X300 offered a more powerful engine and a heavier-duty transmission for enhanced performance and durability. Compared to the X500 series, the X300 is lighter duty and features a smaller mowing deck. It is positioned as a premium residential lawn tractor, not quite a garden tractor, but much more capable than a box store model.
