Probably not. A check with the manual might help as well as checking with the sales dept. at the Deere dealer.
What do you want to use the 3 ph for? Cat 0 ?

Well I would like to get a small bottom plow and other implements for it unless I can find out where I can get them as a pull behind

Check out the ground engaging attachments at the JD site, and there is a moldboard plow, and others that might work. A form of mechanical 2 or 3 pt attachment. Does the X500 have a mechanical lift for the mower deck, or hydraulic?

stykemain,
I've got an X500, and there is a hitch available which I bought in order to run a small box blade. It does not have the power or precision of a real 3pt hitch, obviously, since it's mechanically activated.
My X500, along with the hitch, the box blade, and snowplow, are all up for sale on eBay. Let me know if you're interested in the hitch and/or anything else - maybe I can separate them out.
Hopefully this pic is good enough to give you an idea. I didn't quite capture the front of the hitch, where it connects to the tractor. If you need to see more, let know and I can take another shot when it's light.

I bought the X500 2 years ago when we got our new place. It had about 1 acre of lawn and 9 acres of brush and woods. I used the X500 to mow the lawn, and do about 5 hours total of snow plowing. I bought the box blade shortly after I got the X500. I used the box blade twice, to spread some gravel and to level out the topsoil we had to buy to build our raised garden beds.
I'm replacing the X500 with a 4310 so we can get to the rest of the work we've been planning to do on the other 9 acres.
I put the whole shebang up on eBay, figuring there wouldn't be much interest in the hitch/blade, with winter coming. I thought there would be a lot more interest in the tractor/plow. But I've had you and another guy on eBay express interest in just the hitch/blade. Go figure....
Check your messages - if you're interested in the blade we can discuss further.
