MulchControl with baffle open (shown on 54-in. [137-cm] High-Capacity Mower Deck)
The MulchControl attachment 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:
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl handle (standard with MulchControl)
Hydraulic MulchControl actuator option
The optional MulchControl attachment comes with a handle on top of the mower deck that is used to open and close the discharge baffle:
An optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator attachment is available to replace the standard control lever and allow the operator to control MulchControl from the seat using the tractor’s hydraulic control lever.
NOTE: To have hydraulic control of the MulchControl baffle, both MulchControl and hydraulic MulchControl actuator attachments must be ordered. The hydraulic MulchControl actuator is an extra-cost option for the MulchControl attachment.
Changing from mulching to side discharge or vice versa with the hand lever or hydraulic MulchControl actuator option takes only a few seconds.
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. Now the operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side-discharge or bagging when needed.
MulchControl limitations
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 helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:
MulchControl compatibility
MulchControl is a field-installed attachment. Mulching blades are included:
NOTE: The hydraulic MulchControl actuator is not available for the 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower Deck.

X739 Tractor trimming around a tree
Power steering is standard equipment on all X700 Series Tractors. It provides effortless, automotive-like control:
Four-wheel power steering on the X734, X739, and X754 Tractors provides very significant maneuverability and trimming advantages over two-wheel-steering equipped tractors:
1. The uncut circle diameter is greatly reduced, eliminating or greatly reducing the need to back up when trimming around trees, shrubs, etc.
2. Interference from the mower and tractor wheels is eliminated because they are several inches away from the object being trimmed around.
3. The outside turning circle is reduced, decreasing the time spent turning and increasing mowing efficiency.
The X739 Tractor has both full-time four-wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel steering, which gives it the optimum in both traction and maneuverability.

X739 Tractor mowing
Full-time 4WD front axle
The full-time 4WD front axle provides a superior combination of traction and maneuverability. When the tractor is in a turn, the front wheels need to rotate faster because of the larger arc, compared to the rear wheels, they are traveling in. The hydrostatic front-wheel motors automatically increase the average travel speed of the front wheels when the tractor is in a turn.
The full-time 4WD system optimizes steering performance to provide maneuverability and trimming ability comparable to that of 2WD models, turning radius of 25 in. (63.5 cm) for two-wheel steer models and 21 in. (53.3 cm) for four- wheel steer models, with the added benefit of four-wheel traction.
Full-time 4WD front-wheel motors are powered by the same pressurized hydraulic fluid that powers the rear transaxle drive motor:

X739 Tractor mowing
MulchControl handle (shown on 60-in. [152-cm] Mower Deck)
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:
MulchControl baffle open (shown on 54-in. [137-cm] High-Capacity Mower Deck)
MulchControl baffle closed (shown on 54-in. [137-cm] High-Capacity Mower Deck)
MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:
MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:
MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.
An optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator is available to shift the MulchControl baffle using the tractor’s hydraulic control lever. Operators can convert between modes without interrupting the mowing process, making it possible to change between modes:
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:
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.
Each MulchControl system is an optional field-installed attachment and includes everything needed for handle actuation: baffles, handle, and mulch blades. If desired the optional hydraulic actuator needs to be ordered separately.
MulchControl is compatible with model year 2013 and newer X700 Signature Series Tractors (serial number 10,001-) with one of the following mower decks:
Optional hydraulic MulchControl actuator (BUC10536) is available for model year 2019 and newer 9078M 54-in. (137-cm) or 9079M 60-in. (152-cm) High Capacity Mower Deck (serial number 070,001-). Mower must be equipped with a basic MulchControl attachment:

The 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep™ (48A) Mower Deck, 48-in. (122-cm) Edge™ Xtra Mower,* and 54-in. (137-cm) and 60-in. (152-cm) Edge High Capacity (HC) Mowers use a high-performance Power Flow blower to collect material into a variety of material collection systems:
Features are as follows:
The Power Flow blower works well with either the standard mower blades or the mulching blades.
Each of the John Deere material collection systems has durable construction for long life in homeowner or commercial applications.
*NOTE: The three-bag, 14-bu (493-L) Power Flow is not compatible with a X729, X739, or X749 Tractor equipped with a 48X Mower Deck because the chute can contact the rear tire in a turn. However, it is compatible with the 48 Accel Deep (48A) Mower because the increased deck height and the height of its Power Flow blower housing lift the chute high enough to clear the wheel and fender with the three-bag hopper installed.
X730 Tractor with 48A Mower Deck
The 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a forged-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:
NOTE: The 9077M 48A Mower Deck requires a standard connect or auto connect attachment (similar to 54 HC and 60 HC Mower Decks). Unlike the 54 HC and 60 HC, the shaft drive 48A Mower Deck is not a drive-over deck. Operators can rotate the mower wheels 90 degrees and roll the 48A Mower Deck under an X700 Signature Series Tractor and utilize the auto connect to connect the power take-off (PTO) shaft.
48A Mower Deck underside (similar 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:
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:
Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:
Left side of Accel Deep 48A Mower Deck (shown on X584 Tractor)
The flat-top shape of the deck forging is optimal for keeping itself and the operator clean:
Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:
