X300 Select Series

The X300 Select Series is John Deere's core lineup of residential lawn tractors, offering proven reliability and a range of comfort and steering options to match every yard. From the entry-level X330 to the top-of-line X394 with all-wheel steering and hydraulic lift, there's an X300 for every homeowner.

🌿

Accel Deep Mower Deck

The signature Accel Deep deck design is deeper than conventional stamped decks, creating stronger airflow that lifts grass for a cleaner, more even cut. The deep shell also improves mulching performance and reduces clumping in wet conditions — so you get professional-quality results whether you side-discharge, mulch, or bag.

•42-inch or 48/54-inch deck options depending on model
•Stamped steel construction for durability and a smooth underside
•Compatible with MulchControl for one-touch switching between mulch and side discharge
•Foot-operated deck height adjustment — no levers to reach for

🦶

TwinTouch Foot Pedals

Instead of a single HST pedal, the X300 series uses two side-by-side foot pedals — one for forward, one for reverse. This gives you more precise speed control and makes direction changes smoother, especially when maneuvering around trees, flower beds, and other obstacles.

•Separate forward and reverse pedals for intuitive control
•Smooth, progressive speed response — no jerky starts
•Cruise control available to maintain speed during long passes
•Hydrostatic transmission requires no manual shifting

🔄

All-Wheel Steering

Available on the X354, X384, and X394, John Deere's 4-wheel steering system turns both the front and rear wheels in opposite directions. This dramatically tightens the turning radius, letting you mow closely around trees, landscaping, and garden borders without backing up or making wide turns.

•All four wheels steer for a significantly tighter turning radius
•Reduces the need for backing up and re-approaching obstacles
•Available with power steering on X394 for effortless operation
•Ideal for complex landscapes with many obstacles and tight spaces

💺

Comfort & Operator Station

Long mowing sessions demand a comfortable seat and easy-to-reach controls. The X300 series delivers with a high-back adjustable seat, tilt steering wheel, and an uncluttered operator station that puts every control within easy reach. Wet disc brakes provide reliable, maintenance-free stopping power in all conditions.

•15-inch open-back seat with adjustable suspension on select models
•Tilt steering for comfortable entry/exit and personalized driving position
•Wet disc brakes — sealed from dirt and debris for long-lasting performance
•Hour meter and fuel gauge for at-a-glance status

🔧

Built for the Long Run

The X300 series is backed by John Deere's extensive dealer network and built with quality components designed for years of weekend use. Cast-iron front axles, heavy-gauge steel frames, and Kawasaki commercial-grade engines make these tractors a lasting investment for your property.

•Kawasaki V-Twin engines across the lineup — commercial-grade reliability
•Cast-iron front axle won't bend from impacts or heavy use
•Full-length, welded steel frame — no bolted-together subframes
•2-year/120-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty with nationwide dealer support
