buying x739

[Gittyup]

BTW, I've read some threads that indicate the click-n-go and 3PH can be on at the same time. Some posted you just have to buy longer bolts for the click-n-go. That leaves me hopeful. Will know soon enough.

Not to push a point that won't matter but when I test drove the x749 vs the new x739 this spring I found the diesel quieter. I ended up going with the 749 because of the diesel and the ability to add a loader later if wanted but both are good machines. I like the 54 inch deck as it is easy enough to slide in and out from the side. I had problems with getting a good cut out of it with the mulching kit installed. That was mainly because these decks are not made to mulch and after putting regular blades on it cuts great. Good luck with your machine. You will love it.

Congrats, I think you will like it. I think once you get it you will see how valuable it is having a smaller machine with a 3PH on it.You won't have to worry about using junky lawn mower pull type equipment, you can get real tractor implements. Trailer movers work great on a machine that size. I use a pond scoop on my BX for small clean up jobs instead of using my larger tractor.

Roger, what is a pond scoop?

You're lucky you had that choice available at the time. New X749's were long gone by this fall when I made a decision. As it turned out, with the X739, I got the AWS / AWD and DW who likes to drive the lawn tractor around with a cart, but does not like diesel fumes - she is happy as well.

Everything attachments calls them a scoop pan.

I think they were originally intended for cleaning out a pond. I got mine for $20 and it even works with the QH.

Here's the bracket that holds six 42lb suitcase weights that attaches to the three point hitch.

If you go here CHEVELLE and scroll down you will see sections with multiple pictures I have taken
of my year 2010 X728 which is like your X739 only mine is four years old.

I'm pretty sure you can't put a loader on any of the AWS models including the X749. This has been the case dating way back to the 400 series.
