My X585 Arrives

[Badfinger]

Hi Guys it's been awhile and I've been really busy! My JD and all the goodies was delivered to my new place Tuesday. I was so busy moving I didn't have much time to try it out. I finally got to play with it and it's great. I may get to try the blade out in the morning out looks like we may get about three inches of the white stuff.

Thanks again for the great advise.

Jim

I really enjoyed my X585, but do recall the blade had reasonably strong down pressure even in the float position. One thing you might consider, assuming you have a hard surface is a rubber squeege kit for the blade, so the rubber is taking the abuse and not allowing the cutting edge to scratch your hard surface.

Great Tractor! I have almost exactly the same thing except I mulch rather than use a collector. Unbelievable how maneuverable it is and how well it pushes snow (no chains, wghts or anything). My next addition is a loader for it...

Looks like a great setup for your 5 acres. Should make quick work of it. I saw an X585 at the dealer yesterday and they are a sizeable machine.

Wow, still opening boxes and putting stuff away, I just remembered why I don't like to move /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

JohnDeere_2210, thanks I did get the rubber scraper on the blade and it does help protect the driveway.

Steadite, I agree on mulching i got the collector for leaves, I don't plan on raking this yard.

Mow well,

Jim

That is one great machine- I have the 485 and I am anxious to see what you think of the mpg- there is not a more comfortable or better GT on the market in my opinion- congrats-
