Re: Decision Time -- X749
Turbo, Have you considered the 60" 7 Iron deck instead of the 62" deck? I haven't checked but I trust its available for the 749. I have the 62C on my X595. While it does a pretty nice job of cutting and is easy to take on an off grass "sludge" seems to acccumulate more on this deck. THe 60" 7 Iron deck is a much more open design with fewer rivet heads, baffles, etc to stop the discharge of the clippings. I had basically the same deck on my 4300 compact utitlity tractor and was amazed at the minimual build up of debris on the underside. It also did a very nice job of cutting.
The 60" is a drive over, or should I say back over design, which some people may not like. The 60" is a few hundred more but when I replace my X595 it will be with this deck
