JD GX345 or JD X365 ?

[Rebs]

Which of these JD's is a better model ? The X365 has 100 hrs on iy and the GX345 has 380 hours on it. Both are in excellent condition. The GX 345 comes with a plow blade for 3900.00 and the X365 comes with a JD two stage blower and a soft cab for asking price of 4000.00. Which would you buy and why ?
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.

There is no JD x365 model. Perhaps you mean x360 rather than x365?

Sorry, yes I did mean x360

There is no comparison in these machines. The GX345 is much more machine any way you look at it.

The Gx345 has a better transaxle than the X360,K71 vs K58,If you are pulling a heavy cart or have hilly land,the lighter transaxle may not be
adequate and may fail.The Gx 345 also has a differential lock which you will need for pushing snow,I would choose the GX345.Good Luck

I bought the GX345 today. I negotiated a lower price and bought the mower with the 48"plow for $3500.00. It looks like brand new. It has been completely serviced and they are going to deliver it tomorrow.
Thank you guys for all your input and advice helping me to make the right decision.

That's a good deal. The GX345 has the K71 transmission, which is a good one. It should give you many hours of good service.

Had a 345 for a couple years, and honestly wish I still had it. Good mower!

This is a 2005 and it has 580 hours on it. Is that a lot of hours and roughly how many hours does this model last ?
