While waiting on the fuel pump for my LX279 I picked up a 30 inch mechanical tiller. The John Deere website and JDPC list the tiller as an attachment for the LX279 but a dealer told me that the LX279 is not intended to use ground engaging attachments.
I am planning to acquire the lift kit or individual parts for using the tiller with the GT225/GT235/GT245 range as there is no tiller lift kit listed for the LX279. The LX279 and those GTs use the same mower decks and and the JDPC diagram and parts listing for the mower deck lift kit is exactly the same.
I may have to add some additional mount points to the frame to attach the tiller.
Does anyone have advice to offer?
