The 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. Key engine features include:

  • 25.5 hp (19 kW)
  • Large 44.3-cu in. (726-cc) displacement
  • V-twin air-cooled design 
    • Excellent power and performance
    • Smooth, quiet power
    • Easy starts
  • Quality features include:
    • Cast-iron cylinder liners
    • Overhead valves
    • Full-pressure lubrication
    • Replaceable oil filter
    • Dual-stage air cleaner
  • Solenoid-shift starter for easy starts, even in cold weather
  • Electronic fuel injection (EFI)

    • EFI meters the correct amount of fuel directly into each engine cylinder for all operating conditions.
    • It simplifies engine starts and warm-up by eliminating the need for the operator to use a choke.
    • Fuel usage is reduced up to 10 percent compared to a carbureted engine.
  • Electronic throttle control

    • Electronic throttle control works in conjunction with EFI to electronically adjust the supply of fuel air mixture, to increase torque as needed to maintain engine operating speed under load.
    • Ground speed and mower blade-tip speed remain constant, even in heavy-grass conditions, to improve productivity and cut quality.
      • Mechanical governors cannot respond fast enough to maintain a constant engine speed.
    • Some torque rise remains to warn the operator before the engine stalls.
    • X590 Tractor's electronic throttle control is a first in the mowing industry.

X590 Tractor dash, no choke required X590 Tractor dash, no choke required
Electrically actuated air inlet valve Electrically actuated air inlet valve

No 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 closes the valve, making starting the engine easier - no choke lever is needed. Starts are quick and easy, even for inexperienced operators.

The advanced engine features provide the following advantages:

  • Electronic throttle control improves performance.

    • Mowing time is reduced as the electronic throttle control 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 electronic throttle control 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. No carburetor 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 linkage that 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*.

Excellent cut quality
54A Mower Deck underside (similar mower from ZTrak™ Z300 shown) 54A Mower Deck underside (similar mower from ZTrak™ Z300 shown)

Deep mower-deck forging gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:

  • Reducing the amount of recutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
    • Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
  • Clean flow of material out of discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
  • Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
  • Exact Adjust deck-leveling system allows for easy and accurate leveling of the mower deck
Productivity - getting the job done fast
Left side of Accel Deep 54A Mower Deck Left side of Accel Deep 54A Mower Deck

Deep mower-deck forging gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:

  • Greatly improves mowers capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds

Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:

  • Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
  • Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
  • The 54A Power Flow blower has an inlet housing with over 20 percent greater area than the 54X Power Flow blower used on previous machines.
Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator
Accel Deep 54A Mower Deck Accel Deep 54A Mower Deck

The flat-top shape of the deck forging is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:

  • There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
    • Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
    • Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without buildup of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
    • Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside deck
  • The depth of the Accel Deep mower deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck:
    • Limited amount of material to drift onto the operator and mower deck
    • Even for material discharged out the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
    • Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely and MulchControl makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.

Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:

  • The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.

  • Forged from strong 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.4-mm) steel
  • Ribs in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.
  • The 54A has a 3 percent heavier overall weight than the Edge™ Xtra 54-in. (137-cm) Mower Deck used on previous machines.

Mower wheels are heavy duty:

  • Provides greater strength and durability for longer, trouble-free life.
  • Setting wheels to the correct height for the cutting height quick and easy.

Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on engine lower bearings and mower deck bearings for longer life.

The 54A Mower Deck features a 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side bumper that provides extra strength and protection.

Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.

Versatility - easy to change between side discharge, mulch, and bagging modes

The 54A Mower Deck is designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another:

  • With an optional MulchControl system installed (along with the special mulching blades), changing from mulch mode to side discharge mode or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever or touch of an electric switch.
  • The Power Flow rear bagger can be used with MulchControl by simply using the MulchControl lever or electric one-touch switch to move the MulchControl baffle to the side-discharge position.

Electric one-touch MulchControl switch Electric one-touch MulchControl switch

The optional MulchControl system makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

  • Creates a beautiful looking lawn
  • Smaller grass clippings disappear into the lawn canopy
  • Reduces fertilizer needs
  • Grass clippings are not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
  • No need to dispose of bags of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl baffle open (shown on Z300 48A mower deck) MulchControl baffle open (shown on Z300 48A mower deck)
MulchControl baffle closed (shown on Z300 48A mower deck) MulchControl baffle closed (shown on Z300 48A mower deck)

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

  • The MulchControl system includes an adjustable MulchControl baffle near the discharge chute and fixed baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
  • The MulchControl handle, or an electric one-touch actuator, is on top of the mower deck and is used to open and close the MulchControl baffle.
  • When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.
  • When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

  • For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
  • For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to close the chute to control clippings in some areas
  • For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
  • For operators who collect clippings but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.

 

Electric one-touch MulchControl

Electric one-touch MulchControl systems shift the MulchControl baffle using an electric actuator that is operated by a dash-mounted switch.

Electric one-touch MulchControl switch	Electric one-touch MulchControl switch
Electric one-touch MulchControl actuator (shown on 54A mower deck) Electric one-touch MulchControl actuator (shown on 54A mower deck)

Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it possible to change between modes:

  • When approaching driveways or flower beds where clippings would be undesirable
  • When a breeze blows clippings back onto the operator
  • For side discharge mowing only the areas of the property where grass is too thick for mulching
  • With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, for collecting only the areas of the property where grass is too tall or thick for mulching
MulchControl limitations

While in the side discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches 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 helps to 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
  • When optimum bagging and lawn clean­up is desired
  • 42A Mower Deck requires a MulchControl baffle be removed to install the bagger chute

When bagging with MulchControl on a 48A or 54A mower deck, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower runs without material when the baffle is closed.

Rear baffle (A) must be removed for bagging with MulchControl with 42A mower decks Rear baffle (A) must be removed for bagging with MulchControl with 42A mower decks

When bagging with MulchControl on a 42A mower deck, the cut-and-throw rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl blades. However, the rear MulchControl baffle (A) needs to be removed to install the bagger chute. The baffle is held in place with two carriage bolts. To return to mulching, the chute needs to be removed and the baffle replaced.

MulchControl compatibility

Each MulchControl system is an optional field-installed attachment and includes everything needed: baffles, mulch blades, a handle (lever action attachments) or an actuator, wiring, and switches (electric one-touch attachments).

Comfortable seats
15-in. (38-cm) open-back seat (X570) 15-in. (38-cm) open-back seat (X570)

The 15-in. (38-cm) open-back seat (X570) features distinctive styling and is designed for comfort:

  • Seat travel of 6.6 in. (17 cm) with 15 positions allows the operator to be seated comfortably and easily operate the controls. Seat can be easily adjusted fore and aft by the operator while sitting on the seat.
  • Open-back design allows air circulation to keep the operator's back cool and dry for a more comfortable ride.
  • Grasp at the top of the seat is conveniently located for use when tilting the seat up to protect it from the weather.
Comfortable cut-and-sewn seat Comfortable cut-and-sewn seat

The 21-in. (53-cm) high-back cut-and-sewn seat (X580, X584, X590) delivers a comfortable, smooth ride and excellent support for the operator:

  • A smoother, more comfortable ride results from the use of more foam than in a form-in-place seat and more side-bolstering to stabilize the operator on uneven terrain.
  • Improved visual appeal is provided by the thicker cushion, additional bolstering in the seat and back, and an embroidered John Deere logo that makes this upscale seat look as good as it feels.
  • Long-term pliability and less chance of cracking are advantages of the cut-and-sewn process, which does not require heating during the manufacturing process and gives a more uniform vinyl thickness.
  • Additional operator support and comfort is available with optional BM23761 armrests.
  • Reduced cost of repair, should the seat cover be damaged, is available with a replaceable seat cover available from Parts.

Exact Adjust ports and onboard deck-leveling tools make precise deck adjustments easy
Deck-leveling gauge and hex adjusting tool stored under tractor seat Deck-leveling gauge and hex adjusting tool stored under tractor seat
Exact Adjust access holes Exact Adjust access holes

A mower deck must be level side-to-side and properly adjusted front-to-rear to give the best cutting performance. A removable onboard 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. With the hex-shaped tool, they provide convenient access to allow quick and easy adjustment of the mower for the best-cut quality of cut.

The Exact Adjust feature is standard on all Select Series™ X300 and X500 Tractors:

  • There is no need to reach under the fender deck while making the mower-level adjustment.
  • Onboard deck-leveling gauge, Exact Adjust ports, and the hex tool work together.
    • Level the mower deck side to side
    • Set the correct amount of rake (front-to-back deck orientation)
    • Calibrate the cutting height to the cut-height adjusting knob setting
  • Exact Adjust simplifies leveling the mower deck if equipped with a Power Flow™ blower.
    • To give the best cut, mower level should be adjusted if alternately mowing with and without blower installed. The Exact Adjust feature makes this easy.

Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:

  • Park the tractor on a level surface.
  • Inflate tires to the correct pressure.
  • Consult the label for the cutting-height knob that is located on the console of the machine. This label shows deck-leveling position and location of deck-leveling adjustment points.
Cut height adjusting knob Cut height adjusting knob
  • Set mower cutting-height knob to the correct deck-leveling position.
  • Adjust mower wheels as necessary so they do not contact the ground surface.
  • Remove the onboard deck-leveling gauge that is located under the seat.
  • Using the Exact Adjust ports and tool, adjust mower deck side-to-side level so the deck-leveling gauge just slips under the left and right lower deck rim at the designated adjustment points. The location of adjustment points will vary slightly between decks.
    • Left- and right-rear adjustment points are under the deck rim near the rear mower wheels, if equipped.
  • Adjust mower deck front-to-back level, if necessary.
    • Loosen rear nuts equally on each side of front lift rod.
    • Turn front nut equally on each side clockwise to raise front of mower or counterclockwise to lower it until gauge just slips under the front adjustment point.
    • Tighten rear nuts after adjustment is complete.
  • Return the gauge to its storage position. 

 

NOTE: The adjusting tool supplied with the tractor is an 8-mm ball-hex key, part number M162737. The rounded end allows for some misalignment with the bolt as the deck is adjusted.

Excellent cut quality, comfort, ease of use

I had a John Deere x300 since 2011. I it performed great as well as using the snowblower head all winter. Although I never had any issues with the unit I needed to consider a power lift feature for the snow blower head. In researching the JD line of tractors I zeroed in on the x590 with the 48” mower deck. I was blown away with the cut quality compared to the x300 series. A much better overall look and anti scalping features. Also add EFI, HDAP tires, power deck and snowblower lift as well as power steering and better seat comfort. The other thing I noticed was more stability on inclines. I also am looking forward to being able to snow blow with out using the chains, as I just replaced my concrete driveway. I was somewhat apprehensive when making the change, as I thought a larger deck and more horsepower why do I need it, but overall the benefits are enormous compared to the x300. Also the build quality , warranty, and resale value are second to none. I was concerned about the HDAP tires creating turf problems but there are no issues

A Beast!

Bought this to upgrade from a 22 year old 345 (which is still doing great, by the way) in order to clear snow for the neighborhood sidewalks. After more than half a winter it has been nothing short of amazing. Plow goes through? No problem. 10" of snow? No problem. I'm excited to get to spring when I can start caring for the lawn with this excellent machine. Dealer experience was fantastic (Greenmark in Jenison, MI); it felt more like I was buying a tractor from a friend rather than a business.

Well built lawn tractor

Mowed with this tractor four times now, what a difference from my JD L120 tractor. Power steering and 54" deck cuts my mowing time in half. Comfortable seat and ride too. Plenty of power with the 25.5 engine. Very nice machine!!

Pros:

  • powerful engine
  • nice high back seat -comfortable ride

Couldn't be happier and the mulch kit added to it

We SERIOUSLY traded-up our five year old X300 48" for an X590 54" and couldn't be happier!!! Our dealer let us trial a zero turn 60" and an X580 54". We landed on the X590 54" for the versatility, the extra horsepower and rider comfort. We have almost 3 acres to mow. Some of it is kinda rough and some is steep road banks. The X590 rides and tracks it all very well thanks to the all-terrain tires, power steering, upgraded seat and weight. The tilt sterring wheel is a nice feature as is the fuel injection - its nice not having to use a choke when starting, especially if you're not accustom to using one. The mulch kit was somewhat of an afterthought, but one of the best features because we can mow in any direction, along sidewalks or flower beds without having to worry where the clippings will end up. There's no side discharge, the mulcher just chews them up and you seldom see them at all!!! Our grass is pretty thick and lush, especially in late spring, so the extra horsepower of the X590 lets us mow about as fast as we want, even when mulching. The power lift is a nice feature too, compared to the pedal lift on our previous mower. If you have quite a bit of mowing to do or looking for a better ride and mowing experience, I'd highly recommend considering an X590. #JohnDeereEmployee

Nice ride

I have to say, by far this JD x590 is best mower I have ever bought. Its still new with only 3 hours on it, but with power lift and power steering, this thing is a work horse. Havent used the traction lock, because it will go everywhere. I have had lower back fusion and neck fusions. This thing dosent beat you to death. Just all around great mower. You may regret price till you mow with it, worth every penny. So Far.

Pros:

  • power steering power lift
  • low vibration engin power

Cons:
  • havent found one

WAY, WAY OVER PRICED FOR ITS SNOW REMOVABLE ABILITIES!!

This is my 4th and worst experience with a John Deere product and I bleed John Deere green. No orange foreign made machines in my garage. Nonetheless, I have to call it like it is and this machine cannot hold a candle to my 10+ year old John Deere GT 235, a smaller and much less expensive machine, when it comes to moving snow. My GT235 still runs fine, but as I reached my 70's, I thought that I would make life easier and not have to switch attachments in the off season. My intention was to keep the old machine for just mowing the 4 or 5 times I have to in the summer. Along the same lines, I thought the hydraulic lift would make it easier on my back and arm and the differential would make it less apt to get stuck. After 6 hours of using it to blow snow, over 4 storms, I am convinced I made an expensive mistake and will be selling it and looking for an older basic model even perhaps another GT 235. Why? Even after adjusting the skid shoes as low as they go, the driveway always has a coating of snow on it and it takes a lot of time and gas to go back over several times. It is as if the hydraulic lift is pushed up by the snow, whereas the mechanical arm on the GT 235 locks in place. The two stage snow blower of the X590 does not do as good a job of throwing the snow as the GT 235. When you stop the latter, the snow is gone. When you come to the end of a run with the X590 it leaves a pile. As a consequence of not cleaning well and leaving piles, you end up going over areas over and over again. The effects of the cold on my body for this much longer period of being outside offsets the extra work with the mechanical lift and uses more gas. The older GT 235 is much better on the hill part of my driveway. For most storms, I was able to blow going up the driveway. The X590, even with chains, does not allow me to have the blower down going up the driveway on my 4th and 5th runs trying to get the last 1/2 inch of snow it likes to leave on the macadam.

Pros:

  • nice gauges
  • nice high back seat

Cons:
  • does not clean well
  • expensive for its abilities
  • not good on hills
  • leaves piles of snow

Great features

What can you say, nothing runs like a deere..fuel injection and power steering.locking differential..I had no trouble plowing deep snow..didn't need tire chains...it mows great except when the grass is a little too wet.(I dont like mowing wet grass but sometimes you have no choice) it will clog and bog down...otherwise it is a great tractor. ..

Pros:

  • see above

Cons:
  • see above

The 590 is an excellent garden tractor but for the price it should be!

This is overall an excellent machine. the 54 inch deck works fine and I can mow our entire yard on one tank of fuel. That's quite a change from my old Wheel Horse 520HC.There is no clumping of grass and the engine has plenty of power. The power steering is wonderful but the deck hydraulics don't move it very far. Everything is good, so far. What I don't like is the necessity of adding other equipment to the rear to put any additional equipment on it.For the $8k I paid I expected more than the necessity to add silly stuff like that.

Pros:

  • power
  • runs like a champ

Cons:
  • price

Love this mower........so does wife!

My 2002 John Deere LX277 was getting a bit long in the tooth, although it had never given me one single problem, so I decided to buy this X590. I am getting older and needed something a little more comfortable and easier to drive and this really fits the bill. If anyone had told me to get power steering on a lawn tractor before, I would have laughed in their face. Not now, this thing, with its power steering, is a dream to steer, making it so easy to get around obstacles in the yard. A larger, more comfortable seat, and larger tires make it a joy to ride, and with Fuel Injection, no more choking the engine to start, just turn the key and it starts, every time. I really like the hydraulic deck control also, although I still find myself reaching for the big lever to raise the deck with. I started out at looking at some of the lesser models that the John Deere dealer had, but after much research decided to spend the extra money and get this mower, and I am so glad that I did. I figure the extra money won't be much of a concern after a year or two, but you will have a great mower for many years to come.

Pros:

  • power steering
  • hydraulic deck lift
  • stouter transaxle
  • larger more comfortable seat
  • easy start fuel injection
  • hdap tires on back

Cons:
  • plastic hood
