General overview
John Deere X540 is a wheeled tractor manufactured in the United States and listed for production from 2006 to 2014. It is powered by a 19 kW (26 hp) gasoline engine with a 0.7 L (41 cu in) displacement, and it uses a hydrostatic transmission for speed control. That combination places the model in a light tractor power class for general farm use and light implement work.
The X540 also features a hydrostatic hydraulic system and a rear hitch in Category 0 (SAE designation), which identifies it for light-duty rear implement use. It rides on 16x6.5-8 front tires and 24x12-12 rear tires, and it includes an 18.9 L (5 US gal) fuel tank.
