john deere x340

Title states the concern, machine shows 658 hrs. Just going to use it for a few steep grade areas and cut close to trees. Open areas are cut with wide tractor mounted finish mowers.

My X340 started up quickly this morning but as soon as I released the clutch/brake pedal it died. At first I thought it might just need to warm up but after several minutes it continued to die after releasing the pedal - with me sitting in the seat. I put a couple of large stones on the seat...

My 4 year old lawn tractor just started having trouble on inclines in forward and reverse. I checked the plastic bushings and they are fine. I adjusted the forward pedal to give me more throw in the pedal. Got a lot faster on the level ground but it's still laboring / whining on inclines...

Is there a tiller available that will fit my X340?

After spending a week with my used John Deere X340 I've developed a high opinion of it already. Bought it from original owner with 128 hours on it for 2700 bucks. First of all its a heck of a machine. I love the big 25HP Kawasaki engine. Smooth as silk and starts easily. Not cold collared at...

This was originally posted on another forum but someone suggested this one would be better.... I bought an X340 a couple months ago from a widow lady down the road. They bought it new five or six years ago. It wouldn't start without a jump and, at first, the motor sort of surged while I was...

I bought an X340 from a neighbor a few months ago. Looked like it was in really good shape. Had a couple of implements with it. 2007 model. About 640 hours. It had sat for a year or so after the old gent had passed away. Needed a jump to get started. I drove it about half a mile to our...

Elderly lady down the road has an '06 X340 with a little over 900 hours on it. It has sat in their barn for the last two years after her husband passed away. She is selling the property. I told her I might be interested in the tractor. She gave me the key and told me to take it and try it...

Hello all, wanted to start off by saying I love the site and have learned a lot just from browsing the last few days. Thanks in advance for any and all help here. So I have just bought an old 1890's farm house in northern VT; It's got 3 acres with one decent (20°-25°) slope near the back of the...

My L120 has finally bitten the dust. The transmission is shot and it has a leaking head gasket. Bot in 03, now has 485 hours on it. I really can't complain too much as I beat the **** out of that tractor including pushing snow for years. I have 2+ acres of a flat to hilly yard to mow. I've...

I recently bought the x340, 54" deck, kawasaki motor. I thought this was going to be the perfect mower for my home in the country. I am having a problem with the deck, it is getting clogged up around the sheaves (pulleys). The sheaves are actually recessed into the deck and just collect...

I've searched and searched and can't seem to find anything on the x320 or x340. I'm in need of a new mower and had always dreamed of a jd. I'm coming off of a craftsman and really don't need all the bells and whistles, i just need something that mows and mows solid and good. My 3 acres are...

I can get either tractor for $4,720 or $4K respectively. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, but based upon a true objective look at each unit, for the money which unit would be your choice? I'm looking to pull the trigger on one of these units hopefully later today or early...
