Just bought a JD X728 tractor 4x4

[LBrown59]

I printed out both the X728 and X728SE and compared them..

What was the difference ?

That's a beautiful machine!
I just put the curtis soft side cab on my X585 (old version of the X728)

Ah a cab must be nice.

I just talked with the dealer, should be in my shop by tonight. We already had a 1 ft of snow last week.

I was just looking. the bill says "Special Edition". Do not know what makes it a special edition? Was not even aware of that..

As others have already mentioned;
Plush set
Front Fenders
Grill/Brush Guard

Pay close attention to the wheels. While it doesn't effect performance, they look like mags. Also, upgraded seat includes arm-rests.

Congrats! Very Nice ride!!

He delivered this afternoon. I notice the yellow sport wheels with the green pinstripe around the bead. The seat is nice, more adjustments then regular seat.

The grill guard won't work with the blower so he offered me a chute deflector control and will install it in place of the GG.
This is the first tractor I have ever owned so I figured might as well get a good one. The dealer discounted it 10% for no trade-in.

Nice looking tractor, would like to see a picture of it in action. Have fun!!

Ah a cab must be nice.

yup, had the old version on my 445, no heat, but elec wiper and
front lights, and it makes the job a breeze. this new cab is
much heavier, still vinyl door etc, but glass windshield, elec wiper,
and i recycled my front lights.

i'm still debating how much weight/chains to use. old 445 had
loaded tires, chains, and old curtis cab. never a problem.
this new X585 is 4wd, so i may back off on the weight till i
see how it goes (cab is over 200 lbs). still plan on using chains
though. that white stuff gets deep here.

If it's not too late try to switch to the 54" blower, you will be much happier.

I recently started shopping for a blower to put on my X749, any comments?
IIRC you have a 748 or 749?

Z71,
I hope you like your new mower as well as I like mine. That will be a real step up over the walk behind.:thumbsup:

Well, it beats shovelling, that's for sure.

The one comment I have about blowers is that bigger isn't always better. My newest neighbour just got a 56 inch (I think) for his Kubota and he's kicking himself now because it doesn't fit everywhere. He's actually having to shovel by hand in a few places. If he would have gotten a 48 inch, all he'd have to shovel is his step.

Other than that though, get the biggest that your dealer recommends and enjoy yourself.

The 47" barely covers the wheel width, the 54" eliminates packing snow with the inside tire when turning.
