john deere x720

Hello all, I've read a lot of threads here, some older, some newer. Looking for some input and feedback. We recently purchased ~6 acres (previously cropland) and are planning to build a home. Currently live on 1 acre that I've been mowing with a really tired LT155 (paid $300 5 years ago...

I really hate to say, but a couple of years ago we bought a low hour X720 with the 56" drive over deck. I have to say that ever since we have owned this tractor our yard has looked like crap. If you go around a tree, the deck will cut lower on one side. The scalping wheels adjustment release...

Just a quick question. A friend of mine has an x720, 54c deck with 430 hours for $5500. Is this an okdeal for one? He is also the original owner of it.

Greetings :jump: The oil pressure light on my John Deere X720 came on, and I haven't been able to start my tractor since. I have changed the oil (which was black and thick when I drained it) and oil filter, but the oil pressure light still comes on and the tractor won't start. I checked the...

Seems I have a defective alternator on my 2006 tractor. Installed new battery Jan/15. Tractor runs for an hour or so, then battery has to be recharged. Can anyone tell me where and how do I access the hidden alternator? Would greatly appreciate some help here.

Hi Guys, I am heading out to look at the following JD X720 which has 66 hours on it. As you see by the photos, it comes with the ROPS hard cab as well as the rear weights, the 47 in snow blower, he 52" broom, quick-hitch, hydraulic lift and turf tires. Here's the question... Will the X720 do...

Local dealer has one X740 left on his lot and has it priced at $9900 with a 62" deck. He said he'd give us $6500 for our X720 with a 54" deck and little over 200 hours on it. That would give us a new unit with a another 4 years of warranty but that does seem like a lot just to get into a diesel...

I am looking to buy the X720 John deere with a loader for $7,000.00. Is this the right price range?

I am dealing with my dealer on a new (different) lawnmower. I currently have a 2005 GX345 54in cut with 254hrs. My two options are a new X540 54in cut or a 2006 X720 62in cut with 265hrs no PTO no 3ph. I mow three acres. My main question is which one is the best value and would be worth more in...

Does anyone know the correct part numbers for converting an X720/X740 into an SE machine? I know the fenders, brush guard and seat, but I am looking for part numbers to change the front hubs on the tractor. As many of you know, you can't mount the SE wheels up front unless you change the hubs...

Today I removed the mower deck from my new X720SE to install the Quick Connect Front Hitch and 54" Snow Plow. After I removed the deck, I forgot to raise the deck position knob to the highest setting before installing the front hitch and plow. After connecting the hydraulic lines to the plow and...

Just wondering if diesel engine is worth the $1,000 upgrade? I sold my X748 last year because I came to the conclusion that I couldn't afford it. I can make the payments on an X720 though. I have no interest in all wheel steering or AWD as my property is all flat. How is the fuel injected...

central Wisconsin, i'm willing to drive a few hundred miles for the right unit. looking for near new unit and am very particular. under 100 hours. davidcmerry@gmail.com

Finally after a month and a half, I reached the 8 hour mark on my tractor. Draining the oil is very easy, JD did a great job by providing the plastic tube that allows you to drain the old oil into a container without getting it all over the tractor or the floor. However, I was very surprised to...

Hi everyone- I have found a 2009 John Deere x720 with 400 hours. It has the 54'' deck, PTO, and 3 point installed with new tires (guy trades every 3 years and swaps the new tires out for his bar tires). They told me they would do it for $6300 without a trade in. I guess the first question is...

I recently purchased a 2003 x595 that came with the shaft-driven 62c deck. Since the deck is larger than what I need, I'd like to swap it for a similar-hour 54c deck. I received a PM from a TBN member stating that he has a 2008 x720 with the 54c deck and is interested in a trade. Will these...

I Think I am going to pull the trigger and buy a used JD x720 to maintain my 2.5 acres. My local JD dealer has a used one for sale for 5,900, I have looked allover the net and cant find one much cheaper anywhere so I am assuming this is a god buy. Do you experts have any thoughts about this...

I have a X530 now for about a year and I gonna trade up to a X728 for garden purposes (deep tilling etc.):D I have a fan on my X530 and If I decide to purchase I would like to attach the fan to the X728. Has anyone done this without drilling?:confused:

Hey guys, I am thinking of trading my x720 GT for a 3320 with 72d auto connect deck. Anyone done a similar trade? How well does the auto deck really hook up and disconnect? Anyone want to buy a 1 year old, low hour (80) x720 in central IL for $7500? jphippard@yahoo.com 618.292.0025 John

i have a john deere x720. you can mow for a couple of hrs(3-4) then it feels like it runs out of gas. surges real bad and dies. wait lets say 30 sec starts right up but only runs good for about 15-20 min and it dies again and it will sart again and run fine for 15-20 min. it has spark. it has...

I found a 2006 X720 today with 300 hours and was just serviced. It has the 54" deck with the mulching blades and a single stage snow thrower that come with it. $6400.00 was what I finally paid. Any thoughts on if I got a good deal.

I have a question for you Deere guys. My friend just got a new X720 and was telling me the book says to engage the PTO when engine is at full rpm. Boy, that sounds like a real jolt to everything and tough on clutch pack. Darn near like dropping the clutch at drag strip. Is this common w/JD or...

A good friend of mine is zeroing in on this machine with deck & snow blower (all new). Does anyone here have any thoughts --good or bad-- that I can pass on before he writes a check. Thanks

I had my x720 delivered today. The 4720 Cab tractor is coming next week. I have a set of brand new turf 26x12x12 rear tires avaliable if anyone would be interested. I had a set of Bar tires mounted instead. Enjoy the pics an let me know about the tires.

Hi, I have been lurking on these forums the past couple days trying to do as much research as possible. I have 5 acres of land and my grandfathers 20 year old JD 285 broke down earlier last week so I decided it was time to upgrade to something bigger. I went to my local JD dealer and got a...

My Father In-Law Just Purchased A JD X720SE With 62" Mower ($10,500 Out The Door). Anyone Found A Way To Disable The Reverse Switch On X700 Tractors? (Shuts Off Mower When You Back-Up) We So Far Can't Find The Switch. It Has Back-Up Lights, Will We Lose Them When We Disable This Function? Please...
