John Deere X167R

Powerful two-cylinder V-engine

The large 656 cc V-twin engine offers plenty of power and torque to cope with difficult mowing conditions:

• Powerful engine with 12.36 kW at 3,050 rpm for higher performance.
• The twin-cylinder V-design offers more torque with less vibration and less noise.
• Cast iron cylinders increase the service life of the engine.
• Overhead valves ensure excellent performance and economical fuel consumption.
• A return spring ensures that the driver does not accidentally leave the hand throttle in the choke position.
• The electronic ignition enables quick starting.
• Pressure oil lubrication and oil filters ensure clean oil, a longer service life and longer oil change intervals.
• The large, high-quality air filter insert increases the life of the engine and is easy to maintain

A fuel and oil filter in the engine ensure trouble-free operation. Both are conveniently located for easy maintenance. A tool-free engine oil drain is easily accessible and easy to use for oil changes:

• The capacity is 9 l
• The large diameter filler neck opening is conveniently located under the tractor seat
• The tank can be easily filled without spilling.
• The tank cap is practically connected to the fuel tank.
• The sealed lid prevents vapors from escaping from the tank.

 Hydrostatic Kanzaki® Tuff Torq® gearboxes

            
The hydrostatic Kanzaki® Tuff Torq® transmission allows for stepless selection of the driving speed and easy change of the driving direction. Foot pedals arranged next to each other control the speed and direction of travel:

• The control element, which is similar to the accelerator pedal in a car, ensures easy operation.
• The driver can change direction without lifting his foot from the platform.
• The large pedal surface ensures optimal driver comfort.

The appropriate transmissions are used in each model depending on the size of the rear tires and the tractor power requirements to ensure outstanding performance and reliability:

• Tuff Torq TLT200 – X107 and X127
• Tuff Torq K46 – X167, X117R, X147R and X167R

RIO function (Reverse Implement Option)

If the operator feels it is necessary to keep the mower (or other attachment) running while reversing, he should first bring the tractor to a stop and then look behind the machine to make sure there are no people there. Then the RIO switch must be activated (pressed). The RIO button must be held down when the machine is in reverse (on hydrostatic models, the brake pedal must be depressed).

The operator can then release the switch. The mower will continue to operate when reversing and will continue to operate when forward travel is resumed. This procedure must be repeated the next time the operator wants to mow the mower while reversing. If the mower is operating and the operator presses the reverse pedal before pressing the RIO switch, the mower will disengage.

Edge™ mower

The innovative design of the 107 cm (42 in.) Edge™ rear discharge mower deck combines the best features to provide reliability and superior performance when mowing and collecting grass clippings and leaves:

The cutting deck is pressed from 3mm thick steel to allow smooth contours for a high-quality appearance and excellent performance. Since the mower has no side discharge, it can mow effectively on both sides without effort:

• A small storage compartment offers additional benefits.
• A standard V-belt and a blade design that does not require timing ensure high reliability and smooth operation.
• Offset mower blades allow blade overlap using a standard V-belt drive.
• The knives cut cleanly without hitting each other.
• A high-performance V-belt and a large, spring-loaded pulley transfer the power effectively and reliably to the mowing blades.
• Four wheels keep the mower straight and reduce the risk of cutting up the lawn.
• The cutting height adjustment in steps of 0.64 cm makes it possible to operate the mower at the optimal cutting height.
• A quickly adjustable leveling system makes it easier to always align the mower correctly.

The underside of the mower is contoured and free of obstructions to achieve optimum cutting and collection performance. The clippings flow evenly around the mower and then up the discharge chute into the collection container. The build-up of grass clippings is reduced to a minimum to enable easy and always effective cleaning:

• The specially shaped ejection blades (basic equipment) have large wings that throw the cutting waste into the ejection chute and into the collection container.
• The mower fills the 300-L (8.5-bu) grass catcher with a large amount of clippings and leaves.

There is a wash port on the mower to provide water to the bottom of the mower for easy cleaning after use:

           Wash ports are located on both sides of the mower to direct water to the underside of the mower for easy cleaning after use. The wash ports are equipped with quick-connectors for quick hose connection.

An adapter to connect the water hose to the washing connection can be purchased at your local store.

grass catcher with 300l capacity

The large capacity rear-mounted grass catcher makes it easy to collect grass clippings and leaves. The rear mounting provides excellent maneuverability when mowing.

The 300-litre grass catcher holds enough clippings to allow longer mowing times between emptyings. Emptying the grass catcher is easy to do from the driver’s seat.

The sturdy plastic base has a long service life even when working under difficult conditions.

warning signal when the grass catcher is full

When the grass catcher is full, a warning light on the dashboard lights up and an audible warning signal sounds to alert the driver to turn off the PTO.

When the PTO is activated and enough clippings have accumulated in the grass catcher to trigger the sensor switch, the warning light on the dashboard will illuminate and an audible warning signal will sound:

• This reduces the risk of constipation.
• The grass catcher must be sufficiently filled with clippings to activate the sensor switch and thus the warning light and signal tone.

The grass catcher latch can be easily adjusted to suit the operator’s preferences and the situation. The spring can be positioned in one of the three holes.

When the grass catcher is removed, a safety switch ensures that the mower cannot be operated until the rear deflector or mulching insert has been fitted. However, the engine runs and the tractor is functional, so the rear power lift can be used.
