All construction of the John Deere LX255 mower took place at the Horicon facility in Wisconsin. This model is part of the “LX” series of mowers, which includes the John Deere LX266 and the John Deere LX176. The JD LX255 has a Kohler CV15S-41571 1-cylinder gasoline engine. This naturally aspirated engine is air-cooled and uses a paper-and-foam air filter on the air intake. Controlling the speed of the wheels is a Tuff Torq, automatic transmission using Twin Touch pedals for added comfort.
The John Deere LX255 has a top speed of 8. 8 km/h. The turning radius on this model is quite high at 0. 51 m (20 inches), which means you should look at other mowers if you need a mower for a yard with lots of narrow lanes, nooks and crannies. The weight of the JD LX255 when shipped is 483 lbs (219 kg), but obviously with the mower deck attached, it’s going to weigh a lot more. The overall length of the machine is 1. 76 m (69 inches) without the bagger attached to the rear.
The specially designed tires on the John Deere LX255 mean there’s a very low chance it will leave marks on soft grass. The front wheels measure 15×6-6 (15-inch diameter, 6-inch wide, 6-inch rim diameter) while the rear tires measure 20×10-8 (20-inch diameter, 10-inch wide, 8inches of rim diameter). Unfortunately, the JD LX255 does not come standard with power steering or a cab to protect the operator from inclement weather. However, some people have modified their LX255s to better suit their needs. In addition to cutting grass, you can also use this riding mower to clear snow from your driveway using an optional John Deere snow blower attachment.
