I added a plastic fob to the key and slide it under the pto switch when mowing. Eliminates the pesky lifting when you backup backup. Works Works well on my X360.

Very nice John Deere! 👍😎 Hydrostatic drive is king, in my opinion.

Thanks, Great Demo ! I have the X300 also. Installing the bagging system would be a good video to do next ! !

Thanks! I don't have a bagging system - but I do believe that would be a good video.

We have a x304. I agree that it is a bit easier to work on the deck. I tried to work on my brother-in-law’s John Deere from the big box store it was to many components compared with my x304. I wish him luck with it and hope he gets a 300 series.

I have a JD Saber 2354 that is now 22 years old. Still runs great. The tranaxel is the same as the JD 500 model, almost a thousand hours on the motor. Looking at getting a Zero turn to buy

@PurpleCollarLife Жыл бұрын

I didn’t realize that the Saber machines were made by John Deere. That’s interesting. 1000 hours on the motor is great! I think as long as maintenance is performed regularly, they can go 1500+ hours. I do really enjoy saving time mowing on the zero turn - but there’s some times that sitting on the lawn tractor is just more quality time while getting work done, than just getting the task done.

Just got a x354. Im using it to mow and spread things on the lawn. Should I have the throttle set to high while i am hauling my filled spreader? Or keep it on low? Not sure what would benefit the clutch more.

@PurpleCollarLife Жыл бұрын

Great question! I'm certainly not a transmission specialist, but my thoughts are to run the throttle high enough that the tractor doesn't sound/feel like it's straining. I imagine this is probably below full throttle, but you'll have to play it by ear.

I just bought this exact JD deck combo, except it has 22 hp, 42 deck as yours. It has 135 hours on it, and looks like it was manufactured in 2012. Excited to mow for the first time using it tomorrow. I have some hill, any recommendations?

@PurpleCollarLife 11 ай бұрын

Only 135 hours - you should have lots of life left in the machine. Make sure you keep up with regular maintenance and oil and filter change. I always recommend the OEM parts (filters, belts, etc.) Depending on how big the hills are that you're using it on, I'd recommend mowing up and down them, not across them.
