21.5-hp (16.0-kW) V-twin engine
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:
A flywheel alternator provides plenty of capacity to quickly recharge the battery and power electrical equipment, such as lights or a sprayer:
Large fuel-fill opening
Large, 3-in. (7.6-cm) diameter fuel tank filler opening makes adding fuel easy:
X350R 42-in. (107-cm) Rear-Discharge Mower Deck
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 contoured and free of obstructions to ensure optimum cutting and bagging performance:
Standard mulch plug
Mulch plug easily installs in place of hopper:
Wash port
Hose-end adapter for use with wash port
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:
Optional rear deflector
Optional rear deflector in operation
Optional rear deflector (BM25065) easily installs in place of hopper:
Hopper easily emptied from operator seat
Large-capacity hopper
The innovative design of the rear hopper sets a high standard for collecting systems:
44-in. (112-cm) Front Blade, electric lift, angling and tire chains on an X350 Tractor
44-in. (112-cm) Snow Blower, weather enclosure and tire chains on an X350 Tractor
An advantage of lawn tractors is their ability to use equipment for snow removal. Lawn tractor owners can add a John Deere snow blower or front blade to make quick work of moving snow whenever the need arises. Weather enclosure and tire-chain attachments add comfort and performance.
Equipment available for snow removal includes:
High-quality steering system for easy operation
A heavy-duty sector and pinion steering system with quality bearings provides easy and precise control for the life of the tractor:
Easy steering is important to give the operator an enjoyable mowing experience:
Kanzaki® K46 transaxle
The Tuff Torq® hydrostatic transaxle encloses the hydrostatic pump and motor rotator groups in the same housing with the differential and axle housings:
When combined with the foot controls, the hydrostatic transmission functions similarly to an automatic transmission in an automobile, so the term automatic is often used to describe it:
Freewheeling valve
When it's inconvenient to start the tractor, a freewheeling valve releases the transmission so the tractor can be pushed a short distance. The freewheeling valve control is located under the hopper near the hitch.
Kanzaki and Tuff Torq are trademarks of Kanzaki Kokyukoki Mfg. Co., Ltd.
Operator station
Close-up of display
The contoured dash has clean, attractive styling and ergonomic controls for easy use:
X350R display panel with indicators identified
Display has the look and feel of a modern automobile. A power-up sequence cycles lights and gauges to indicate they are working:
Twin Touch foot control
Cruise control
Twin Touch foot pedals control the speed and direction of travel:
Cruise control is standard equipment:
Onboard mower adjusting gauge and wrench
Rotary dial knob makes adjusting mower cut height quick and easy:
Parking brake
Depressing brake pedal applies internal wet disk brakes (increased durability and longer life) for safe stopping.
Parking brake control is conveniently located for easy access; holds brake pedal securely in locked position.
Storage tray under tractor seat
Exact Adjust tool used to level mower deck
Storage for the onboard deck-leveling gauge and the Exact Adjust tool is provided in the storage tray under the tractor’s seat.
Deck-leveling gauge placed under deck
Foot-pedal lift system
Pushing with the foot to raise the mower or implement is less strenuous for many operators:
Electric PTO switch
The heavy-duty electric PTO clutch is operated with a convenient dash-mounted switch.
PTO clutch
The PTO clutch is designed to operate through many on/off cycles.
Reverse implement switch
Switch senses if hopper is installed
A switch senses if the hopper is installed. If the hopper is not installed and the PTO switch is actuated, the PTO will not operate.
A brake interlock switch is provided so the tractor does not start unless the brake is depressed or the parking brake set.
A tractor seat switch turns off the PTO if the operator leaves the tractor seat; it also shuts down the engine if the park brake is not set and the operator leaves the seat.
Either the operator needs to be in the seat or the hopper or deflector needs to be installed for the engine to run.
CAUTION: Children or bystanders may be injured by rotating blades. Before traveling forward or rearward:
NOTE: Operating the mower while backing up is strongly discouraged. RIO should be used only when operating another attachment or when the operator deems it necessary to reposition the machine with the mower engaged.
Heavy-duty frame
Steel front-side of hopper bolted to frame
The frame is made of heavy formed and welded steel, reinforced in critical areas for even greater strength.
The steel front side of the hopper is bolted to the rear of the tractor frame:
Standard rear hitch for tow-behind equipment
A standard rear hitch is included for pulling tow-behind equipment. Simply lift off the hopper, and the hitch is ready to use.

Seat suspension with springs in rear position
Seat suspension with springs in forward position
The seat suspension is adjustable, without tools, for the weight of the operator:
Cup holder and covered toolbox on fender
Covered toolbox with open cover
A cup holder and covered toolbox are located on the fender for operator convenience:
Location for optional 12-V outlet
A removable plug on the console, in front of the operator, provides a convenient location for the optional 12-V outlet and makes installation easy.
Fast connector location
A mid-vehicle, 12-V fast connector, located under the tractor’s fuse box, is included as standard equipment to reduce initial installation time for some attachments that operate on 12-V power from the tractor:
One-piece hood is easy to open
Service interval decal located under hood
The one-piece hood opens easily to permit checking and servicing the engine:
Easy-to-service engine fuel and oil filters
The engine fuel and oil filters, the oil check/fill tube, and the oil drain tube are exposed for serviceability when the hood is opened.
Adjustable hopper latch
Hopper is easily removed and reinstalled

The chute can be easily pulled out and removed:
Deck-leveling gauge and hex adjusting tool stored under tractor seat
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:
Deck-leveling tool placed under deck
Using included ball-hex tool to level mower deck
Consult the operator's manual for the correct adjusting procedures for each tractor model. Basic adjusting steps to properly level the mower deck include:
Cut height adjusting knob
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.
