Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): How to make my John Deere X585 go faster, x700, john deere


Question
I am looking to make my X585 go faster while driving.  I caretake for a property about 1 mile down the road from my property and I frequently drive my X585 between properties and am looking to increase the speed of the tractor while driving.

Answer
Buy an X700 or a trailer Paige.  Kick ass as an X585 is, it really wasn't designed to go very fast.  You can adjust the trans linkage a little. If you do this you will lose virtually all reverse.  Sorry, somethings even "The Truthmeister" can't change.
