Product Features
Every wheel drives all the time. No lever, no delay, no traction loss. Climb wet slopes, cross mud, work steep terrain that stops 2WD tractors cold.
Full-time 4WD + hydraulic deck lift + heavy chassis = the residential Deere that can genuinely replace a small compact utility tractor in winter. 47-in. blower, 54-in. blade, weight-box — no problem.
Hydraulic power steering + hydraulic deck lift both standard. One-finger operation of the two most fatigue-inducing controls on any tractor.
Instant cold starts, 25% better fuel economy, and consistent power under load. Modern electronic fuel injection removes the biggest reliability gremlin from gas engines.
Technical Specs
*Warranty term limited to years or hours used, whichever comes first. Specifications based on published information and subject to change without notice.

Have a 15° back slope that gets wet every spring. My old 2WD tractor slipped constantly. X738 crawls up it without a single tire spin. Full-time 4WD is worth every dollar over the X730.

5 acres of North Carolina hillside. 4WD + EFI + hydraulic deck lift is the combo. Deere built this exactly for people with terrain and I feel it every mow.

Wyoming winters. Front-mount 47-in. blower + the X738's full-time 4WD moves through 2-foot drifts. Nothing residential comes close to this capability.

I upgraded to the X738 a few months back for my 3-acre property, and I'm just blown away. That 25.5 HP FS730V EFI engine starts right up, no fuss, even on a cold morning. The 60-inch deck makes short work of my big lawn. But the real star is that Full-Time 4WD. My yard has some slopes and spots that used to get me stuck with my old tractor, not anymore! Glides right over 'em. The hydraulic PS is super smooth too. Worth every penny.

We've got 5 acres here in central Jersey, and this X738 is a beast. The 54-inch deck is perfect for getting around the outbuildings and tree lines. What sold me was the hydraulic lift for my attachments – makes switching from the finish mower to the aerator a breeze. Had it for a year now, running strong, that 25.5 HP engine just purrs. The 5-year warranty gives me peace of mind too.

Moved out to Arizona and got a place with 4 acres of uneven, sometimes sandy ground. My old tractor wouldn't cut it. The X738 with Full-Time 4WD is absolutely essential here. It grips everything. The hydraulic power steering is a dream, especially when navigating around rocks and cacti. I went with the 48-inch deck for maneuverability. The EFI engine starts reliably every time, even in the heat. Couldn't be happier with this choice.

My kids got me this X738 for my 2-acre place. It cuts beautifully with the 54-inch deck. The hydraulic lift for the deck is so much easier than my old machine. It's a powerful machine though, took me a bit to get used to all that 25.5 HP. The power steering is wonderful, makes turning around my flower beds easy. I've had it for two years now and it's been very reliable, starts every time. Just wish it had a simpler instruction manual sometimes!

I'm a contractor, used to heavy equipment, so when it came to my own 3-acre property, I wanted something robust. The X738 delivered. That 25.5 HP FS730V EFI engine is no joke, plenty of power for the 60-inch deck. What I really appreciate is the Full-Time 4WD; it handles my sloped backyard without a skid. The hydraulic power steering makes long mowing sessions comfortable. Built like a tank, true John Deere quality.

Living up north, I needed something that could handle both summer mowing and heavy snow. The X738 with Full-Time 4WD is incredible with my snowblower attachment. It just pushes through anything. Come spring, the 60-inch deck makes quick work of my 5 acres. The hydraulic lift for switching attachments is essential when it's cold out. The EFI engine starts perfectly even at 10 degrees. Best investment for a four-season property.

Oh, this X738 is a dream. My 2.5 acres of St. Augustine grass can get really thick here in Georgia, but that 25.5 HP engine with the 54-inch deck just glides right through it. The hydraulic power steering is so easy on my arms. I used to dread mowing, but with this machine, it's almost enjoyable. The Full-Time 4WD gives me confidence on the slightly damp areas. Solid machine, handles the heat well.

Our 7-acre property has some serious inclines and rough patches. The X738's Full-Time 4WD was the main reason I bought it, and it hasn't disappointed. It grips everything. The 25.5 HP FS730V EFI engine has never struggled, even with tall, thick mountain grass. I opted for the 60-inch deck to cover ground quickly. The 5-year warranty was a big plus for me considering the harsh conditions it operates in. Truly a workhorse.

With three little ones running around, I need to get my 4-acre lawn done quickly and efficiently. The X738 with its 60-inch deck is a lifesaver. That hydraulic power steering is so smooth, I can maneuver around their toys with ease. The 25.5 HP EFI engine always starts right up, even after sitting for a week. And it's comfortable enough that I don't feel beat up after mowing. Highly recommend for busy homeowners.

After years in the fire service, I appreciate good engineering. The X738 is top-notch. My 3.5 acres here in Oregon can get pretty wet, but the Full-Time 4WD keeps me moving forward without tearing up the turf. The 25.5 HP FS730V EFI engine is powerful and fuel-efficient. I especially like the hydraulic lift for the deck; makes routine cleaning simple. Feels solid and safe, exactly what I was looking for in a lawn tractor.
