Hood with vents for engine airThe tractor is powered by a John Deere iTorque™ power system, a combination of engine features and an exclusive hood design providing superior lugging ability, even cooling, and durability. Electrically actuated air inlet valveNo choke control is needed for the EFI engine because a servo motor controls the intake air butterfly valve and the air stream. For cold starts the actuator will close the valve, making starting the engine easier - no choke leveris needed. Starts are quick and easy - even for inexperienced operators.The advanced engine features provide the following advantages:.Constant-speed governor improves performance.
A removable on-board deck-leveling gauge and a hex-key tool are provided to make adjustment easy. They are securely stored under the tractor seat. Exact Adjust leveling ports are provided on each side of the operator platform above the mower-level adjusting bolts.
Mowing time is reduced as the constant-speed governor keeps the engine operating at optimum speed, responding instantaneously as the mower transitions from light to heavy mowing. Cut quality is improved, especially in difficult mowing conditions, because the constant-speed governor keeps the mower blades turning at full speed, delivering optimal cut quality and dispersion of clippings. While snow blowing,maintaining the fan speed enables consistent snow placement.EFI increases uptime. Fast, reliable starts are routine just like with a modern automobile. EFI automatically meters fuel, including the extra fuel needed to start a cold engine. Flooding by unnecessary choking of a warm engine is eliminated.
Nocarburetor adjustments are needed at altitude. No choke-related problems since the choke is eliminated, thus ensuring operator confidence and quick starts, even in cold ambient temperatures (snow blower use). The mechanical throttle cable is replaced by an electric linkagethat is not susceptible to wear or freezing.Cost of ownership is reduced. EFI precisely meters fuel to each engine cylinder.
Fuel usage can be expected to be about 10 percent less than with a similar carbureted tractor. Reduced maintenance expense because of fewer complaints related to hard starting, vapor lock, misfire, run-on, or fouled spark plugs.The X590 Tractor, including the engine, is covered by a 4-year/500-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty.Flywheel alternator.

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material.
Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helpsto reduce the amount of material being discharged.
Other times this could work as a disadvantage:. When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda. When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States.

'Official' JohnDeere deck leveling gaugeThis pivot gauge is made of plastic. It's stout enough to do the job. The pivot arm is held in place by a metal spring snap. If you treat it as what it is, and store it carefully it should last. I have used mine once, and it does make taking measurements much easier. I wish I had gotten one with my mower.
Actually for the price of my JD X320 it should have come with it.One thing that I noticed that could make it inaccurate if care isn't taken is, the base is very thin, and not perfectly flat. So it's important to press down on the base at the same spot, each time a measurement is taken. Not a big deal, but it does help to ensure accuracy. I plan to mount it on a 1/8' piece of steel flat stock to eliminate this issue.
