2021 John Deere X758 Review

[@jerrypelletier2328]

I own a 2002 X595 diesel.... Not much has changed in 20 years. I absolutely love my tractor, it a beast. Mine has 1900 hours....

[@ScoutCrafter]

What a beauty! Dealerships always perplexed me. A dealer's whole existence relies on repeat and new customers. When I was looking to buy my truck I didn't look for price I looked for the best rated service dealership and travelled 1 hour away to buy it. Best decision ever. I'm at the age now where if you wrong me once you will never see me again. =D Good decision finding a better dealer!

[@machone7580]

Nice Machine, CONGRATS!! I have the previous series X7, 2WD, gas. What you call a "proportioning valve" behind where your hydraulic hoses connect is actually a lockout valve. You crank it all the way in for snow duties, and it locks out fluid from going to your deck lift hydraulic cylinder. That way your blower chute and angle cylinder (depending on if you are using a blower or a blade) operate faster. I'd love a Diesel and 4WD, but it's just a want and not a need.

[@jeffsmith8906]

Congratulations! I just noticed you got the new machine. I still have my X738 and love it. Might consider deisel next time, but my gasser does everything I need it to do. Look forward to more videos!

[@brianhoward438]

I just traded my 2019 x738 with 120 hours for an x758.my new one will be in first week in October.I also purchased the 47” snowblower,I live in the northeast.Looking forward to getting it.They gave me $8500 trade on mine.Was the best offer out of the 4 price quotes.Look forward to the new x758 videos.👍

[@mic982]

I don't know what you paid for the 738 but $7500 for a machine with 500 hours is pretty fair. It must have been in great shape. I'm surprised the dealership offered you that without seeing the machine in person and checking compressions, etc. I think you did well on the deal. I'd like t trade my 590 for one some day.

[@stuntcardriver]

Both dealers just ask for a few pictures with one being of the hour meter. They won't send anyone out anymore to look at the machine.

[@mic982]

@@stuntcardriver Well, I know JD's and Kubota's both have good resale value and I also know that currently both are experiencing backlog issues due to the Covid restrictions. It's probably a good time to buy if one can find the machine they want. I know there's waiting lists on certain machines and implements right now.

[@leeross7896]

can you please ship that to my house? I will name it Fred and treat it like family

[@cadwarrior]

Beautiful! My dream tractor!

[@marvinjackson2641]

I have a 2020 that ill sell you. 50 hrs mint condition. i need a bucket now so I just ordered a 1025R.

[@richardtrammell7521]

Very nice rig 😊

[@RCALivingStereo]

I have one I just bought Your right there’s a lot of rpm on that motor and deck Make sure to keep it greased, all the zirks and deck to Will last a long time Keep it clean to

[@danielcrafton6676]

I have a 2021 X738 with the 60HC deck. I respectfully disagree with the removal of the plastic coverers from the drive over ramps. I find there is no need. Those drive over ramps pop off with just a tug (totally tool less) and the covers come with them. One of my favorite features of the new HC decks.

[@rvdawg6231]

It sounds great. Thanks for sharing

[@sovietspy8260]

My sister has some property out in Minnesota, they have a older 455. Man i love that thing, but anyways. The rpm on yours sounds pretty similar to what that machine runs. Whenever our family goes out to visit sometimes ill get lucky and the grass will be long, let me tell you what, 4 hours of bliss.

[@tedschmitt178]

Nice machine and great review.

[@mikebracht9261]

Very cool. I also have a X758, you'll love it.

[@gregorygordineer22]

You must live in Pennsylvania, because my dealership treats people poorly at best. But you now have a nice machine. Good luck with it. Band of Brothers and Sisters. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@landonfogle5903]

Could you put the Michelin x tweel tires on the back? I would like to know if it would be possible?

[@masonmoesch]

In Northern WI myself and I’m interested in going to a family dealership rather than the competitor that dominates the state. Let me know how your experience is with them down the road. It’s about an hour drive for me, too… and I’d be glad to make it!

[@JD-sq2vn]

I'm considering a 758 or 739. On another forum, X758 owners (4 of them) all complained that a carriage bolt on the auto connect lift mechanism rubs on the right side of the frame causing a vibration when mowing. Has that been an issue with your's? Also, do you find your 758 better at blowing snow than your 738 or about the same? Thx.

[@stuntcardriver]

@JD-sq2vn I don't have auto connect, so I don't have any vibration when moving. When blowing snow with the x738 you could get the blower to bog down the machine and slow it down in deep snow. The x758 will lug down, but just keeps going. Feels like the x758 could shear a bolt on the blower before running out of power.

[@yolala100]

Nice strong machine, I have the same, love it

[@tashrayt4398]

How does this thing handle on hills? Like going sideways on 10-15 degree slopes? My x590 can handle them fine I’m wondering if this would actually be an improvement for mowing slopes sideways since it’s a bit heavier and wider stance? Thoughts?

[@stuntcardriver]

I have never had an issue mowing hills. I borrowed my dad's x580 and that struggled on the hills that I mowed. I never had a traction issue with my x738 or x758.

[@joesiegert5224]

I mow very steep ditches at 35 degrees slope with mine. If it tips, the mower gauge wheels catch it.

[@justobey733]

I am wanting one bad. Love it

[@marvinjackson2641]

I have a 2020 that ill sell you 50 hrs mint condition

[@v1nc3mc]

So far, how is it compared to the X738? My Grandpa just bought a X738 in May that now has 25 hours. I'm thinking he should've got the diesel (he paid 17,000$ total for his 738, 54in deck, and 47in blower). But all he does is mow about 0.90 acres and snow blows 4 roughly 60ft x 25ft foot driveways in the winter.

[@stuntcardriver]

Nothing phases the x758. The x738 is a very capable machine just has less torque. I have the same size snowblower and the x738 handled it no problem.

[@v1nc3mc]

@@stuntcardriver That I was kind of figuring. He had a 1995 445 that he bought new and used to plow 5-6 driveways back then with it (22hp) and the same 47in blower with no issues. I'm sure the X738 will do great at that, and so far it's done just fine at mowing too. But he's mentioned it a few times to me that it's a gas hog and even the old 445 used less fuel, and had a bigger tank to boot. Since his is such low hours and almost brand new I personally feel he should trade it in for an x758 but I'm not sure that it's truly necessary or not

[@RCALivingStereo]

Also to yiu should not start pto at full throttle or shut pto of at full throttle I was told from dealer to engage and disengage at about half or less

[@mziggypop3455]

a review without actually using it? Are you kidding me?

[@Huntersprojects]

Are these worth 18 grand? I just started cutting grass commercial and I get to use a X475 HUGE upgrade from a craftsman LT1000 😂 I’d love the diesel but is it just worth buying. A 1025R or a BX and do they make loaders for these?

[@stuntcardriver]

Depends on what you are in the market for. If you are looking for a sub compact tractor 1025r would be a better buy.

[@Huntersprojects]

@@stuntcardriver for like if I buy land that’s monthly cleared?

[@stuntcardriver]

@@Huntersprojects I would go with a sub compact with a mid-mount mower.

[@Huntersprojects]

@@stuntcardriver do you just use this to cut grass? And do these have a rear PTO and are loaders optional

[@stuntcardriver]

@@Huntersprojects I use it for cutting lawn and blowing snow. I am not sure loaders are available, they use to make a loader for the earlier models. I do not have the rear pto.

[@Boobtube.]

I also feel they gave you a good price for your X738. Yes Diesel = Torque. I like my x738, and keeping it. Never was a diesel fan. To much of a pain in cold weather.

[@mikebracht9261]

No pain in cold weather at all. You just have to have common sense and use winter fuel and add anti gel. Then you'll never have a problem!!

[@Boobtube.]

@@mikebracht9261 I have plenty of common sense, just dont care to deal with 1 more thing to get ready for winter. I have enough to do already. I also added a Linear Actuator on the snowblower chute deflector, like you did. Being from Minnesota, I'm sure you know plenty about getting equipment ready for winter. Just like there are Ford guys, Chevy guys and Dodge guys, everyone has their preference as to what they like. It all depends what you were exposed to going thru life. A diesel just is not something I need or want in my life. If it works for you, that's great.

[@mikebracht9261]

@@Boobtube. I obviously didn't mean you. Those who don't do it right will have the diesel gum up.

[@freedomlawnservice1987]

Honestly, I could probably get a x758 started in winter quicker than your gas x series

[@Boobtube.]

@@freedomlawnservice1987 I doubt that. Just because, while your glow plugs are warming up, my X738 will be started and running. They are fuel injected incase you didn't know. There is no way from the time the key is turned, that a diesel is going to be running before a gas engine. I am talking about a cold start. Your a lawn service, you should know this much.

[@petebusch9069]

I have a 455 and want one of these for the 4wd and to get rid of my AWS but can't justify it.

Do you not like the all wheel steer? My local deere dealer has a used x739 aws mower i was interested in buying.

Why only a 54 inch deck? That unit could do a 62 inch no problem

[@stuntcardriver]

I had a 54" on my x738 and the size was good for my yard. I also believe the dealer stocked the 54" deck.

[@davidmaine]

I have the X758 I love it. There is no way I would ever recommend circumventing jumping the seat. So if your mower were to flip the blade would not stop. If you want to put your life at risk that is one thing but to tell other people to do this is not wise.

[@RS-uo2nd]

Listen man you should probably wear an insulated hazmat suit and goggles when you drink your coffee.

Nice! But it’s about time the X758 got the less boxy hood (getting a little long in the tooth), more aggressive and modern looking grill/hood treatment of the X300 and X500 series!
