After many months of research and comparisons, I have decided that my 1.1 acres of hills, slopes and rough terrain (property is a three tiered lot on a ridge) needs something more than the X300 series. I burned out two trannys on my current 1999 Toro 16HXL 38" (big box equivalent) mowing, hauling mulch, rocks and fire wood. My research showed everything from the X300 being "fine" to needing an X500 in order to have a solid tranny with locking diff.
My local JD dealer has a 2006 x500 54" deck, 14 bu 3 bag power flo collection system and 250 hours. He wants $4,599 for it.
Keep in mind JD has $500 off all X Series until the end of Feb so my guess is that there will be more trades coming in and less folks looking at used in Jan/Feb.
Do you think this is a good deal? All advice is greatly appreciated as I know this is a very informed and knowledgeable group.
