Automatic transmission makes it easy to choose the exact travel speed for each operating condition
The automatic transmission allows the operator to easily choose the desired forward or reverse travel speed, simply by depressing a single foot pedal; this is similar to the way the driver of an automobile with automatic transmission changes speed when depressing the accelerator.
Whether a slow speed for trimming or faster speed for open-area mowing is desired, the operator can easily adjust by how far the foot pedal is depressed.
Brake pedal
Automatic transmission forward/reverse shift leverWith the brake pedal depressed and the forward/reverse lever in the center park or the forward position, the engine can be started. Once the engine is started, it is not necessary to use the brake pedal when selecting forward or reverse or when changing direction of travel. Simply move the forward/reverse lever to select travel direction, then press the automatic foot pedal to choose from an infinite number of travel speeds.
Speed control pedalWith the automatic speed control pedal, the operator can choose from an infinite number of speeds forward or reverse:

The seat tilts up to protect it from the weather and for adding fuel.
Reverse implement option (RIO)
RIO switchMowing while backing up is strongly discouraged.
The operator who deems it necessary to keep the mower (or other implement) engaged while backing up should first bring the tractor to a stop and look behind the tractor to be sure there are no bystanders. Then actuate (push in) the RIO button. The RIO button must be held down in the reverse implement position as the shift lever is moved into reverse (reverse foot pedal is depressed on models with a hydrostatic transmission).
The operator may then release the button and the mower will continue to operate while backing up and also when resuming forward operation. This procedure must be repeated the next time the operator chooses to keep the mower engaged while backing up. If the mower power take-off (PTO) is engaged and the operator shifts into reverse or depresses the reverse pedal prior to pressing the RIO button, ignition to the engine will be shut off. The engine will stop unless the operator either pushes on the RIO switch or shifts out of reverse.
If the engine does stop, the operator must return the mower engagement (PTO) switch or lever to the off position, depress the brake pedal, and then turn the ignition switch to restart the engine.

X500 Series Tractor moving snow with the front bladeThis durable blade serves as a perfect solution for snow removal and other materials.
It is very easy to mount on the tractor which facilitates all year-round usage through the different seasons. To use it, the operator simply pushes a lever from the seat and the blade lowers to the ground. When the task is complete, pulling back the lever will raise it.
Front blade angled to the leftThe working angle can be changed with a lever from the tractor. This will be especially appreciated in tighter areas when frequently changing direction between left and right.
Clearing off snowThe blade is wider than the tractor to ensure the tractor has good traction on the cleared path and does not compact snow. Even with an angled blade, the operator can clean up to the edge of walls and other obstacles for best results.
Demonstration of the unique safety joint: the tractor is slowed down after the impact yet can move enough to reduce the shock on the operator. The blade moves away from the obstacle by moving up.
Function of a traditional blade (upper line) and the unique safety joint (lower line):
Many front blades available in the market tilt around a pivoting point close to the ground (see 1.1). When potentially contacting an obstacle (see 1.2), the pivoting blade can barely move at all, increasing impact on the blade, tractor, and operator even more (1.3).
The unique joint solution of this blade is smarter by pivoting around a higher spot (2.1). It avoids a harsh impact as the colliding blade edge moves clearly to the rear (2.2), allowing the tractor to slow down more smoothly. Also, the blade will move up if too much snow is present – and even continues to clear off the snow. Once the hard object is overcome, the spring pushes the blade back to the original position. This all results in more comfort of the operator, better uptime of the blade and tractor together with cost effective snow removal without backing up and rehitting the obstacle attempting to clear snow on it.
Three simple steps to mount the bladeTo attach the blade to the tractor, simply raise it from ground, hook it into the quick-hitch, and lock it. Although it can stay on, taking the mower deck off and using rear wheel weights on the tractor is recommended. For snow applications, snow chains are suggested. Both the weights and the chains are available through John Deere Parts.
Quick-hitch
Tractor-specific mounting frame A John Deere dealer can identify which models are compatible with this broom and order the required mounting hardware.
Broom and blade with quick-hitchThe following chart shows the available options for John Deere Riding Lawn Equipment and suggests which solution might be the best in each case. The entire description above applies to the blade with 125-cm (49-in.) quick-hitch. If the tractor is equipped with driveline and corresponding quick-hitch, a tractor with this quick-hitch can carry either the blade or the 120-cm (47-in.) broom.

Front broom with debris catcher on X300 Series TractorThis broom serves as perfect solution for snow and dirt removal. It is very easy to mount and comes with a debris catcher box and multipurpose brush.
To engage, the operator simply pushes a lever from the seat and the broom lowers to the ground while starting to spin. When the job is complete, pulling back the lever will stop the broom and raise it from ground.
Front broom angled to the leftFrom the tractor, the working angle can be changed just by pulling or pushing the (left) lever. This is particularly beneficial in tighter areas when the frequency of changing between working to left and right is higher.
Every broom is shipped with a debris catcher for when collection is required. An upper and a lower rubber lip minimize dust accumulation. To empty, tilt in from its mounted position or take it off and push on its wheels to empty the debris elsewhere.
To achieve optimal performance, the ground pressure can be increased by simply turning a knob on top of the broom. Lowering ground pressure will reduce friction and increase lifetime of the broom.
The wide broom and the central drive system clean to the very edge of walls and other obstacles. Cleaning uneven surfaces is easy and efficient; the brush itself is mounted with an oscillating bearing to compensate undulations.
The air-filled caster wheel supports the broom and also allows easy moving and storing of the broom when not in use. The rubber boot over the wheel’s king pin protects it from thrown up dirt.
Lift, settle, and lock the broomTo attach the broom to the tractor, simply raise it from ground, hook it into the quick-hitch, and lock by pushing the handle down. Using rear wheel weights on the tractor is recommended. For snow applications, snow chains are suggested. In some conditions it may be recommended to take off the mower deck to keep enough clearance between tire chains and deck. Both the weights and the chains are available through John Deere Parts.
