The deck took forever to come in, but the whole package was finally delivered today.
The first thing I noticed was how much better this tractor reduced emissions over my 4300. I just can't smell exhaust. My 4300 would darn near poison me after a few hours, and this alone was worth the upgrade..
Secondly, the 7 Iron deck is just an incredible improvement over my old style 72"er.
Nicer cut, better vacuum and much quieter.
Power, it has all the power I could imagine when cutting thick grass. It makes my old 4300 feel archaic. I simply couldn't get the rpm to change, so I can see the loadmatch is a useless fearure on the 3720.
I haven't had a chance to use the 300CX, but I'm sure it's also an improvement over my old 430 FEL.
Complaints..
First, I can say that I like the old style, non electronic pedals much better. There simply just isn't any feel with the E-pedals. My wife also complained about the herky jerky nature of the pedals, and needed the cruise to smooth things out..
Yeah, I'm sure I'll get used to them, but I like the feel of the real thing.
Second, the seat just doesn't have enough spring.
I'm a big guy at 280, and the seat just doesn't have enough adjustment to compensate.
Lastly, this tractor begs for a telescoping feature on the steering wheel.
Aside from those few little things, this thing is like mowing with a Cadillac. I plan on reading the manuel tonight and have some more things to say tomorrow.
