John Deere X117R

This is John Deere’s entry-level lawn tractor that has been designed and factory fitted with a rear discharge mower and grass collector.

With a single-cylinder engine and 36inch cut this tractor needs around 38 inches to get through a gap.

Ideal for regular cutting on medium-sized lawns. With hydrodrive you can control the machine with ease and dump the clippings from the seat.

Here in Powercut, we are proud to have had considerable input into the design and performance of this machine. Our lawns, parkland, and other facilities here at our premises were extensively used by John Deere U.S. factory engineers during the prototype’s performance testing phase. You are unlikely to find harder conditions for cutting and collecting grass anywhere. With our wet weather and lush, heavy grass it’s a challenge for any machine. After initial successful tests here, the engineers returned again some months later having made the suggested design modifications. Results were superb as they had really “tweaked” the machine for optimal performance under UK use.
