I purchased my X300 in 2018. Since that time I have paid for the mower twice over in repairs. 6 thrown belts, clutch replacement, steering replacement. This does not include the completely destroyed seat which I refuse to replace. I will never buy a John Deere product again.

We have a 2011 X300 with 865 hours on it, and so far it’s had one complete engine rebuild, one new mower deck, numerous mower deck V-belts, changed the drive belt a number of times which is quite difficult to do, 😤 it needs a new drivers seat, and the hood completely disintegrated. We cut a lot of grass with it and it handles fairly thick grass quit well. As of a couple of days ago one of the ignition coils died which now needs to be replaced, the motor is not happy about that! The engine is definitely starting to wear out so I’m now looking into buying a new motor for it. But just like the energizer bunny it just keeps on running! 👍🏻👍🏻

I started taking care of my Mother's property about ten years ago when her husband was no longer able to, due to health conditions. She has a 2008 x320 which was purchased brand new. The only thing I have done was routine oil changes, air filters, spark plugs, gas filters, replace or sharpen blades, grease all the fittings, etc... have never had to replace a belt yet, but I know it's coming. As well as trying to change the trans fluid in their sealed and "unserviceable" trans. It's the k58 ( ( I may be wrong on the number, k56?) But I know it's not the problematic k46. It has over 500 hundred hours and is still running strong. Mostly flat to slight hilly area, but few areas steep, but short travel..

You don’t. It’s a hydrostatic transmission with only filler caps. If it ain’t leaking it’s OK. I’ve got a 20 year old L120, 260 hours, it’s a champ. Two years ago I took it completely apart, new hardware where needed, took the mower deck & frame pan and had them sandblasted & powder coated. I’d say it’s good for another 20 years.

HP numbers are pretty much a marketing number anyways. Unless it's the same engine brand and model range, you aren't comparing apples to apples. 17hp is more than enough to run a 42" finish mower, especially on properties that are mowed regularly. That said, the Briggs twins on the 100 series machines ARE noticeably more powerful, but they do not normally outlast those Kawaski twins on the higher models. You touched on the better steering feel and operator controls, but I'm surprised you didn't notice how much more responsive and precise the X300 transmission controls are vs the 100 series. The trans itself is better than the one in the D130 for sure, and there are multiple smaller upgrades that contribute to better overall reliability, especially if you are putting more than 1-2 hours a week on the machine. The X300 should be much more maneuverable than a D100 series machine, with similar wheelbase and track widths. The X300 is intentionally styled to -look- bigger than the 100 series machines as nobody wants to spend $3,000 on a machine that looks the same size or smaller than the $2,000 machine sitting next to it.

A 17hp is way to small?? I mow with a 14hp. I can mow anything you can with a larger engine. It's about torque not hp. Unless you're running heavy implements such as a tiller. You don't need 25hp to mow grass. I mowed with a 10hp for years.

Hells no it ain't worth the price! All of those puke green machines are extremely overpriced! They are definitely good tractors, but they aren't quite as good as JD thinks they are when they decide to determine their price. I would love to have an older 400 series GT or newer X700 series GT, but unless I find a used one at a reasonable price I'll never own one because I would never ever consider paying what they want for a new one!! Plus they have one huge downfall which is that they aren't orange as we all know that all real tractors should be! Orange Tractor Pride, all day everyday!!!

Cette tondeuse autoportée ne peut pas évacuer l'herbe correctement car son orifice de sortie est trop petit et le ventilateur n'est pas efficace. Une solution est de tondre votre gazon tous les 3 jours (2 jours au printemps) afin de tondre une très faible quantité de gazon. Si vous attendez une semaine l'orifice de sortie de l'herbe se bouchera sans arrêt. Conclusion: cet engin est fait pour tondre lorsque vous n'avez pas d'herbe, une machine pour tondre dans le desert !!!

@programmingchicago I know that this is an old comment but I was looking for answers for my TB30R because the brake was not engaging and it was getting harder to start. I just went outside to look in and around the front plastic Steering column cover on the brake side using a flashlight and I saw a huge mound of grass clippings piled inside😱. With a long flathead screwdriver, I started raking the grass out through a hole opening by the brake. Once I got the majority of the grass clippings out, the brake engaged YAY! Extra info: I think the grass clippings got in because when I had my mower serviced at a shop, it was returned to me with one of the Running Board Plugs missing. I didn't pay any mind to it for a long time but over time my parking brake got harder to engage. Oddly enough, I eventually bought a new plug but didn't think to look inside the hole to see if any grass had gotten in there. The service guy also broke one of the bolt holders on the rear cover so I might end up buying a new cover if the other bolt holder fails. Also, he did not return my call this year so I was forced to learn to service my mower and that is why I am here, learning. I'm glad to know that I can do my own service job and not have to wait on someone else.
