X series comparisons

Does the 3xx series still use bushings instead of bearings in the front? The 3xx series is made more for the residential owner that does not mow more than a small lot and is the definition of entry level IMO. The 5xx series will have the longevity you would want and the ability for all the attachements that you listed. For my old property I had a 595, which is now the 7xx series, and that was a heck of a garden tractor. I only got rid of it because on my new property I needed more tractor. If you could swing it, the 5xx is the best bang for your buck.

The 5xx won't let me have a front loader, will it?

Thats the only thing that makes me want to get a CUT, plus I got to see a few up close at the garden show this week and now I really want one, only if they were half the price.....

I think we get it by now! Or do you plan another 500 posts saying the same thing?

If only what was half the price of what?

If CUTs were half the price, most seem to be at least 12K with a front loader and belly mowing deck, if they were 6K it would be much easier for me to make a decision

JD does make a johnny bucket for the 500 series now. it only lifts about a foot off the ground, but it'll serve most homeowners purposes

Nice to know, that may solve all my problems.

Is the 500 AWS? do I want AWS? I heard the tractors feel kind of weird while driving when they have AWS!

There is one model in each X series (300, 500, 700) that has all wheel steering. In the 500 series, I believe that it is the X534. All the other models (X500, X520, X540) have two wheel steering.
