A 4 cycle engine has each piston firing at 720º of crankshaft turn rather than at 360º.

#1 Down piston--Suction or intake.
#2 Up piston--Compression of the fuel air mixture.
#3 Down piston--Firing and the power stroke.
#4 Up piston--The exhaust stroke, and then the cycle repeats.

What is being said is that the John Deere two cylinder doesn't fire a piston at the end of each 360º rotation, but fires both cylinders during one 360º rotation.

The flywheel then carries the engine until the first piston fires again after a full 720º from when it first fired, the second 180º after that.

0º-180º Intake on #1, exhaust on #2
180-360ºCompression on #1, intake on #2
TDC (theory)Firing at 360º #1 piston
360-540º Power stroke on #1, compression on #2
TDC Firing at 540º #2
540-720º Exhaust on #1, power stroke on #2

Geez, I hope I've got that right.
