Did you buy both?

Oh no, Wsh I could but that would be closer to the cost of the Silverado I'd like to have. These are Pictures from John Deeres websites.

The 748 appears to be a 2008 era model with MFWD.

The picture is from a 2012 Brochure. Thats about all can say for that.

thanks for posting sir. that new x738 looks great. nice to see a change in the outdated look. I just bought a new cab 3520 and a used lx172. Im thinking ill go pick up a 738 possibly in the near future to do little bullcrap around the house. Pretty unreal looking machine

Nicely played. It isn't often that someone can post a message that disparages so many other's machines. Well done.

Sorry for coming across rude. Wasn't my intention. I just bought a 2012 3520 recently. I'll tell ya, this machine is outdated looking the most. It hasn't had a face lift since ..... Well... Since it came out many years ago. Was hoping for a new series but who knows when that comes out. Not for about 2-3 years I would guess.

Maybe I am getting old or something myself but I just don't see enough difference to mention. Outdated? I think that is a buzz word invented by sales people to sell more stuff.

As far as looks go on the 2012 and the 2013, I like them both. Last year (March) I was all set to buy a X728. Then I had a stroke in May and that put an end to the tractor idea. Now this year I'm about 75% better and have X738 on order. Actually it's better it worked out the way it did because the 2013 offers the drive over deck and will make it a lot easier for me. Quick attach drive over deck and quick attach snowblower should make life a Lil' better as I can't quite do things as I could when I was looking last year.
