John Deer X739 with 647 Tiller

Tilling up a 55'x12' garden for planting sweet corn. 2021 John Deere X739 all wheel steer and all wheel drive model. Tiller is a rear PTO driven John Deere 647 4ft tiller mounted to a imatch quick hitch.

The u joints are clacking because you are lifting the tiller too high and pinching them.

I am very grateful to you for this video, which I have long wanted to see. What type of soil do you have and how long has it been plowed before you made this video?

I changed my mind I want the garden on the other side

I’m glad to see the X739 in action with the tiller. I’ve been waiting about a month to get mine in. Need the rear PTO and 3PH installed. The 3PH is holding everything up. Good video!

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I kept finding videos of x739 tilling already established gardens. I wanted to see what it looks like on undisturbed soil. Thank you!

I’ll be picking up my x758 with the 647 this week. The dealer told me that the 647 pto shaft is too short to operate with the imatch. He thinks the shaft will separate once the tiller is lowered. You don’t seem to have any issues in the video. Have you had any issues with this since?

Can use a pto shaft for a 1 series with the iMatch

[@chadweddle702]

@@dejongo apperantly that is the one to use. There are 2 different ones. The one for the series 1 is to be used with the imatch on the x758. If you use the series 1 shaft without the imatch then you run the risk of damaging the rear axle because that shaft is longer. If you use the shorter pto shaft with the imatch then the tubes will separate. The dealers know the part numbers to use.

Was low speed control a bit sketch? Hydostatic whine and release. Over and over and over. Or just bad pedal management?

That’s a newbie trying to learn the feel. Found a couple old buried fence posts from the previous home owner as well during this. I’ve used it quite a bit since this video and can hold a nice steady pace 👍.
