As always, I come here first for assistance..... I went to look at and drove:
#1. X390 (22HP, 48" Accel,Power Steering and Power Lift) List Price $5,399.00
#2. X570 (24 HP, 48" Accel, NO power steering and NO Power Lift) List Price $5,999.00
I was pleasantly surprised on the X570 by the mechanism to maneuver the mower deck.... very easy AND I was amazed at the ease of steering with NO power on it as well.
My question is..... better to go with the top of the line X300 or the bottom of the line X500? .....am I smart to go for the X570 and get the obviously heavier duty tractor OR to just save a few dollars and have the ease of power steering/power lift.
I mow pretty much flat 2 acres with some garden beds and several trees. I am NOT planning on using the tractor for anything other than mowing.... so NO snowblowing or earth movement or towing.
I think either tractor will be great.... but again,
Thanks so much for your thoughts.....
