This engine provides ample power for mowing even thick grass and powering attachments. The X534 features a hydrostatic transmission, offering smooth and responsive control. It was offered with either a 48-inch or a 54-inch mower deck, allowing users to choose the right size for their property.

Maintenance Tips

Check and replace belts annually, or sooner if showing signs of wear or cracking. Inspect both the deck belt and drive belt for optimal performance.
Sharpen or replace mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if mowing in sandy or abrasive conditions. Sharp blades ensure a clean cut and reduce stress on the engine and deck.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, or at least once a year. Use the recommended oil type and filter specified by John Deere.
Before storing the X534 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and lubricate all grease fittings. Consider using a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation.
