    John Deere X540 Multi Terrain has incredible power-really cuts grass wet or dry.Belt for mower deck failed prematurely-replaced free by dealer-deck wheel bolt vibrated loose and was lost -dealer replaced free of charge.Multi-terrain feature is awesome.Only one small complaint.Plastic covers over deck pulleys are bolt-on-a pain to remove after every use-should be clip-on like Kubota.I took mine off and left them off.All things considered it`s a great tractor-mine is just nearing 100 hours.I`m sure it will last for many years.

    This John Deere X540 with 54 inch mulching deck is an upgrade from "garden centre" ride-ons for me. To answer the questions nobody could answer before I bought - yes it can cut rough pasture (in my case a few brambles and tough (really tough) couch grass)but probably not saplings. And yes - with the 54 inch deck it can cut my grass in an acceptable time. About 50 minutes for a 3/4 acre orchard with 80 mature trees, all neatly mowed round, and a long hour for a 1.5 acre paddock - rough pasture ...

    I have the John Deere X540 Multi Terrain 54 inch mower and it works great. I too would the deck to have a higher cutting height for walking path in the field.Great discharge of damp grass. I also have the 42 inch snow blower which worked very well last winter.

    My John Deere walks up hills like a tank. It rides smooth. Put the knob on the steering wheel for great onehand steering-no need for power steering. Deck comes off easy but you must be patient to follow directions.

    A far better name for this John Deere X540 Multi Terrain would be "The Brute" for that is exactly what it is. A brute of a machine with power emanating from its very core.
    It copes with anything and leaves quite a good finish, not as good as the John Deere LT17 with the Freedom 42 mulching deck but acceptable never-the-less..
    The controls at first sight look complicated in fact they are easy to use and intuitive. My machine is fitted with the 54" cutters and I particularly like the ability to cl ...
