Smallest sub compact with Hydraulics

[pizzaguy]

I am not very familiar with the small John Deere's. Father in law is looking for a riding mower, but one he can mount a front snow blower that has a hydraulic lift on it. Which new models would have the capability of front hydraulics to lift the blower?? He would like to stay with a 42" or 48" mowing deck and won't consider a used model at all. Thanks for your help.

The x540 and x590 have hydraulic lift but the blower chute is manual adjust front the seat. An x700 series would be hydraulic lift and hydraulic chute angle. The x540 and x590 are smaller that the x700 series but they are good lawn tractors still. The x700 will lift the blower higher as well.

I guess it also depends on if he is buying new or used also. There are a lot of options if he's going used.

Also what size of blower is he looking for?

X700 can use a 47 inch or 54 inch and the x540 probably have a 44 or 48 inch.

To bad about not considering used. I had a JD 214 with hyd. Only a 36" blade but pushed 8" snow in bites. Also had a 36" tiller. Was a great little tractor. Sold it and bought a BX2200 to do more work.
