X300r or x350r

[deranged]

Looking at a few used x300r mowers and wanted to see if anyone had used one and how they like the nagger system. The bagger is the biggest point of sale for me. If I can bag the grass without a side chute that would be great but I would love the hear what someone who uses it thinks before I take the plunge.

I have an old cub cadet that does my pulling and hitch chores so the 300 would be for mowing and bagging for compost/mulch. Have an la115 with bagger now and the single cylinder 19.5 must have too much compression. I've changed 3 starters and 5 starter gears in the past 7 years. It always has trouble starting even after gapping the valves.

I could get a brand new x350r if that is a better model.

Tbn is the place for knowledge so let me have it

I have no experience with them, but have a few friends that have them, and they seem to like them. With no side discharge shoot, you can really trim close on both sides of mower deck. Plus easier to get into tight spaces, thru gates etc .. Unless it was a relatively low how 300r- I'd stay away from any used mower with K46 in them, you just dont know level of abuse ( or non abuse) previous owner put K46 thru

You might pm AKfish as he has had one for several years as I recall.


I like the large passage way for the bagger and blower. I think this is a good bagger mower and I suspect the reason the larger transmissions are not offered is their physical size would obstruct the flow to the bagger. To clarify I do not like the k46 transmission.

I have the MC519 blower and cart set up for my x749, it works well and holds 19 bushels.
