** HACK ** on a 2017 John Deere X758 Diesel

In todays video we are going to be discussing a little Hack that i discovered, a few month after purchasing this machine. This will change your mowing experience. No more messing around while on the seat of your machine.

Well aren't you just the clever boy!! I love it - that is a slick way to bypass that foolish safety crap without altering the machine in any way.
Now I have to ask you what you do for a living. That machine ain't cheap - $16K last time I looked. It is last and best REAL garden tractor on the planet.
I am an old guy so I have a JD 318, a JD 212 and a JD 140 garden tractors, but the 758 is the real dream machine.
Congratulations Stu.

PS; That 758 cost 5x what a brand new 1969 Mustang Mach1 cost!!!! FIVE TIMES!!!!

Hello, how much did you buy the tractor for?

To each his own, but if you need to shut the deck off quickly for any reason you might be screwed. The weights on the back are called starter weights and they weigh 72 lbs each.

I just traded in my 2018 with 347 hours for a $9000 allowance for my new 2024 758.

Pull the RIO switch out of the dash with a little tug. Jump the two terminals with a short piece of wire. Push it back in the dash. Problem solved.
