Congratulations!!!! We need pictures. The x380 of course, but also the cart and its ..... "load" 
Ok. After all, I just made the purchase of a new x380 with brush gard and 10p cart. Price point was what I was willing to pay. After pondering the facts just decided against spending more. Also, I am a little shy of used since dealers are so far away. If local I may have felt differently. The cart is actually for giving the three littlest ones a ride around the yard. I hope this will satisfy desire to ride with daddy. We will see how it holds up. It looks to be more of a man than my last mower. Thanks for all the insight. I enjoyed reading what you all had to say.
Another silly post- what is it with this forum? a 445 was a great machine in its day ( 20 years ago) still many going strong- have nothing bad to say about them- but they are not as good as today’s X7xx series machines- and this poster claims Deere is lying about selling a Kawasaki in them- poster needs to buy a clue? Don’t try to compare a 3k husky to a John Deere X7xx series. If you don’t think you would gain anything- you are posting in wrong forum- look for one called la-la land
Sure. I'll post a picture or two. Will pick up Monday or Tuesday. Cart was not put together. I figure if anything screws up on it I'll take it back to my local dealer and let them fix it. That's what I do with my larger tractor. They come for it, repair it and bring it back. Works pretty well that way. Now I'm looking at new small trailers. I have a 5x13. Might get a 6x10. Would like to drive on without having to worry about the deflector.
Yes. A poly cart. I have no need for it but when I saw it I immediately thought of "hay ride" cart for kids. I think it dumps so I'll need to secure the latch. Also, I saw a trailer as you describe. And we do have a 4 wheeler. May need to think of that.
I never said they lied about the VTwin Kal, I said the air cooled VTwin looks like a B&S. I also never said I wouldn't gain anything from the 700 series JDs.
Before you bash other comments why don't you actually read the posts. I compared my GT Husqvarna to the 300 and 500 series which it competes with, I compared my dad's 445 to the 700 series I saw in the show room.
All fair comparisons, I never said husky was better, I said I couldn't justify the cost difference because the JD's the same size as my Husky mows grass about the same, I also wouldn't say my GT is a garden tractor, I call it a lawn mower, I feel it wouldn't last long with ground engagement attachments but I could be wrong. The 445 could all day long and ask for more, that's a garden tractor, you can hook it to something and it will pull so hard the front end comes off the ground when deff lock is engaged, and my dads 445 has stood up many times.
C’mon man- I’m trying to “work” with you- but I have to call you out on a few things. You said and I quote “the motor in the new x500-x700s looks like a B&S motor even know they claim it's a Vtwin “
News flash - it’s not only a Kawi twin, it’s a higher grade kawi engine than in your so called comparable Husky— The 445 is a great machine- the X7xx series is better in almost every comparable way- and believe me that takes nothing away from the 445, which is still a beast
As for your Husky competing with the X5xx series —not even close – do I really have to list the differences for you. I mean I can you if you want- suffice to say the X5xx is a garden tractor- I will grant you the huskies are competing with the X3xx series for sure - But I can assure you the Husky’s at present are not competing with JDx5xx or the better Simplicity garden tractors
