I am going to look at a JD 650 this week and wanted to try to get some information. First, just likes and dislikes about the tractor from owners and former owners. I am not big into John Deere but I am interested in looking at this one. I am guessing it is a 2 cylinder in the 22 HP range. Is that about right?

Those are 2 cyl. diesel not sure what they rated them at maybe 15 ? but your figure of 22 is probabaly more like what they put out. I just sold one last year and to my suprise I could run a 5 1/2' flail mower in normal yard high grass. I find them a little cramped to drive compared to our 750 model.Sound funny too,not at all like my beloved old 2 cyls.Sounds like the 750 with a miss,which is what it is. Same bore and stroke only 2 instead of 3. Power steering was optional they only have a transmission driven rear pto,but it does have a built in overrunning clutch. If you have a JD bellymower they drive from an optional front pto that is live from the engine crankshaft. If you can get by with a gear drive tractor over a hydro these models were among the best built ever ! Just look at the size of the parts like the axles and steering rods they are 2x heavier than any of the new ones. I heard these had the fewest warranty claims of any JD. Our 750 has over 2000 hrs and still looks and runs like new ! just good maintenance is all they need. We only put a centering spring on the gear shift lever and 1 fan belt in all these years.A couple of deck belts on the mower too. Very reliable ! If you get it it would be a good idea to check the valve adjustments and have the injectors tested. This should be done every 500 hrs according to the book. Likely it was never done. The first time you will get some adjustments on those valves and about the 3 rd time or 1500 or so hours those injectors may benefit from new tips even if they had good fuel.My pump shop said Yanmars tend to need more injector attention then some others. Guess that's why JD said to test them every 500 hrs. This way you get the best performance from them. Depending on what you need it for ? a 750 is a little bigger and better.

The tractor is smaller than what I started out looking for. I need to do brushcutting, disking and box blade work around my place. Would probably get a grooming mower too. If the price is right, I may go with it. What did you get for yours?

It was a 4x4 which I highly recommend and had a front power angle blade and a rear blade and 700 hours and I got $5,100 for it.

I have a like new landpride 48" rear discharge finish mower for sale that would work good behind one of those. It will cut pretty high stuff too !I'm asking $900 for it. In Ohio.
