The tractor in that picture.....has it ever mowed grass??? Or was that the day you brought it home? It looks so clean!

It,s the day I brought it home.But I still wash and wax my tractors and equipment.My wife and friends think I am nuts.LOL.coobie

What kind of standard are the diesels in the x700 series built to? Could a person get 5,000 hours out of it?

You should be able to get 4-5,000 hrs out of the Yanmar Diesel in the X700 series. I have an 07 Deere X744 that has about 874hrs on it, and its still works great. As long as you maintain the mower they will last a long time. A local Deere Dealer, had a 455 in the shop for service several years ago that had over 7,000 hrs on it. I have a seen a few X700 series listed for sale with over 1600hrs. I looked at an X595 with 1,350 hrs before I bought my X744 used with 692 hrs.

Good to know thank you.

That sure beats the heck out of a gas engine. At that rate it will take me probably 40 years to wear out a X740 :laughing:
