Good video. I have the X738 and love it. These JD tractors have tremendous capabilities whether you buy the gas or diesel versions. They just make them right!
@@felixfreire369 Yes the cab is heated by tapping in to the radiator hot coolant with a blower. I don"t feel it needs a wiper on the rear window,the front one is a must have. I also keep all the windows coated with RainX
@@back4052 thanks for the answer, good idea for the crystals, how do you feel on a hot summer day cutting the grass ... does a window open besides the entrance door? Do you have air conditioning (cold)?Is it really recommended in very cold weather (0 fahrenheit and less) to have gasoline instead of diesel?
@@felixfreire369 This is my winter JD, I have a smaller JD for mowing although the doors could be removed for summer. I don't think air conditioning is available on these. I went with gas for better cold weather starting and just the convenience of having all the fuel the same. I"m going to add a engine heater next summer to warm the engine up a little bit if it's really cold or it's sat for a while, although it's always started for me now as is.
Thank you. The number of replacement parts in my body are starting to add up so it's nice to not have to lean into a walk behind blower to bust through a snowplow drift anymore
Based on your video and others like it, I purchased the x738 with HDAP tires and the 47" blower and an Original Tractor cab (I felt the JD glass cab was a bit spendy). I have a wide driveway and 214' of sidewalk, and I like helping neighbors also, so my 20 year old White 13 HP walk behind will get sold.. time in my life to start riding.. love the video.
Thank you. Your story sounds a lot like mine, my JD is replacing a commercial duty 12 HP Simplicity 32" walk behind that is a great snowblower but it just came time to make snow removal easier. We had a 22" inch snowstorm 11/19 that the JD chewed right through and I was really glad to have it for. I plan on keeping it for as long as we live here so I added the glass cab and heat because JD's hold their value so well the cost averaged out over time isn't too bad .
I watch a lot of snow removal videos whether it's by mower or riding tractor or by quads 4x4s with a palm blade I do believe my own opinion is that blowing the snow or throwing it is the most efficient manner even though the snow thrower or blower is the most or more expensive option have a very good day take care
@@felixmartel1847 I went with gas really for the sake of convenience because I have 8 other small engines that I use only 91 octane gas in so it's just easier to keep it organized. Plus this tractor can sit for a month or two where you can run into issues with diesel. The diesel might give you a little more torque but this has had all the power I've ever needed. You can't go wrong either way.
Great snowblowing and your camera person did very well, does that tractor have float mode,did you use that when you were blowing toward snow mountain? I have the 2025r and going past down puts it in float just curious if the smaller x series has that.
Thank you . Yes it does have float mode by flicking the bottom lever, I lift the blower at the end of the driveway to clear the snow. If I want to do a hard scrape I"ll lower with a continuous push on the lever for extra downforce.
In process of purchasing similar tractor and 47-inch thrower lifts and lowers unevenly. 1-1/4 inch higher on left edge of thrower than right. Yours appears to lift and lower more evenly. I am challenging dealer to correct this. I would appreciate feedback ASAP. Thanks.
That's a puzzler I went out and checked mine and everything is in the bubble level. The first thing I would check is that both the locking pins are in the holes on the blower attachment and in the locked position. They can pop out if you're blowing and don't have it in the float position. If that's not it do the same for the quick hitch. Maybe take everything off and reattach to make sure it's right. If it's new your quick hitch should be level and your blower will be level. If it's used I'm wondering if someone tried to lift something heavy and bent the quick hitch or the frame. Good luck hope it works out.
@@back4052 Thanks for checking for me. I found today that my dealer questioned John Deere in a “technical case bull item” and was told that they are not designed to be level when lifted, but are designed to run when on the ground. I am aware that it is designed to be used when lowered to the ground, but observe that yours and others lift up and lower down evenly unlike what I am being sold. I had a 425 tractor prior to this which lifted evenly and I liked to lift it occasionally when throwing on a gravel driveway to limit picking up rock.
Hi - are you happy with the throw distance on the blower? I am looking at moving up from a Kubota GR2120. While the Kubota feels underpowered mowing hills, it can REALLY throw some snow. I can put light powder on my neighbor's roof!
Yes it is 4 wheel drive. I wouldn't say someone could go offroading with it but I've pushed into deep snowplow drifts with no problem and I've rarely used the traction lock.
I bought the tractor, cab, heater and blower attachment for $16500 in 02/15. I got bids from 3 dealers the other 2 were over 20K at the time so I guess it pays to shop around.
You have a good eye. I taped a cloth's pin into a wedge and just wedge it under the PTO switch, I can pull it out quick if need be. On my lawn mower I wired a jumper on the RIO so I can mow a few feet in reverse without killing the engine. Thanks

Hi Matt. In general I am satisfied with the throw distance. As you can see my driveway is between the house and garage so I have to throw lengthways not sideways and it handles everything fine except a slushy rain snow mix. I have the push blade to handle those times.
I love you're still in your uniform. You work all day in the snow and then have to clean your own when you get home. That's a great setup !
Very nice little tractor 👍
Very nice & proper. That's how a quality machine should be used. Great video!!❤
Thank you.
Good video. I have the X738 and love it. These JD tractors have tremendous capabilities whether you buy the gas or diesel versions. They just make them right!
Thank you. It hasn't let me down yet.
That is a good looking litte tractor.
Thank you. It is definitely a labor saver.
Great machine! I had the X739 and loved it! I had a soft cab. I'm sure with the hard cab and heat it's awesome!
Thank you
@@back4052 Does the machine have a heated cabin? Have you ever missed a window cleaner on the rear window?

Nice machine. I have the X739 with soft cab. Wish I had your cab!
Thanks. I plan on keeping it for another 15 to 20 years so I spent a little more for the heat and cab.
I'm excited ❤
12/3/19 update we just had 22" snowstorm 3 to 5 foot drifts I do my driveway and a neighbor's the JD handled it all with no problem.
Do you wish you bought the diesel instead of the gaz model?? Thanks for any Input
Looking Into one right now

Thanks. After 35 years of always ending up with a face full of snow and soaking wet this makes any amount of snow a non-factor. And it is fun!
Great video
Some where a cat is missing it's pajamas because that thing is it!! Can't get over the capabilities.....or the price lol
I needed you to show me how to operate the piece of equipment correctly not just how you can do yours

Impressive.
Nice set up you have there . How wide is your blower ? That blower really throws that snow pretty far
I've got the 47" blower. I also have the 54" blade which is nice for when it's a rain snow mix. This was a dry snow that blows nice.
Thanks for getting back to me so fast .
Hi - are you happy with the throw distance on the blower? I am looking
at moving up from a Kubota GR2120. While the Kubota feels underpowered
mowing hills, it can REALLY throw some snow. I can put light powder on
my neighbor's roof!
What's the brand of your cab? Does it have a part number or something.
It is a Curtis BM24439. It should fit all the JD X700 series tractors.
I would hope for snow every day. Does that have four wheel drive
Yes it is 4 wheel drive. I wouldn't say someone could go offroading with it but I've pushed into deep snowplow drifts with no problem and I've rarely used the traction lock.
To me that is a perfect machine. What was the total cost ?
I bought the tractor, cab, heater and blower attachment for $16500 in 02/15. I got bids from 3 dealers the other 2 were over 20K at the time so I guess it pays to shop around.
Are you really good at using the RIO switch or did you do a mod?
You have a good eye. I taped a cloth's pin into a wedge and just wedge it under the PTO switch, I can pull it out quick if need be. On my lawn mower I wired a jumper on the RIO so I can mow a few feet in reverse without killing the engine. Thanks
THATS A NICE LOOKING CAB. WHAT BRAND IS IT.
It's made for John Deere by Curtis
@@back4052 Is the cab heated?
@@MegaGeorge1948 Yes it taps into the radiator for heat with a blower. All stock from JD. Nice to have.
@@back4052 6500.00$ is it worth that much?
@@marvinjackson2641 I didn't pay that much. Actually I saved 4K on the unit by shopping around 4 dealers in 2015.
It should break down so u could shovel it by hand good exercise haaaaaah
ruclips.net/video/9vLlR7VM9-0/видео.html a bit diff approach of doin it
Made in the USA
You are very sloppily in your work. You are tavcking too much snow on your passes
