I forgot to mention that we have a 7' mower that we pull behind the old JD 420 with turf tires, that will hopefully be back home this summer. We still need a garden tractor that will serve as a back up to the 420 with mower, and also be the primary mower for the next month or two.
Thanks for the info about the EAA discount! I wasn't aware of that! Just enrolled and found out that we can save $200 on the X320 that we looked at today.
I wish I had a side cutter/ pull behind to help shave off a few minutes, but my property is just not big enough, nor set up right, to take advantage.
Glad to help on the Partner Program. I think it is great.
If you're going to be pulling a roller of any size at all, be sure to ask if the x320 has a serviceable tuff torque transaxle. Some of them aren't, and the warranty is only 300 hrs on that mower.
Honestly, if I were mowing 8 acres once a week, I'd want more machine than that for the money.
I agree, the X320 seems small to pull a 7' mower over 8 acres. Can you go up to a larger size?
Diana, one more thing, the guys who work at the factory often buy a new machine every year or two (at their discount) and then put the old one for sale by the side of the road. I think I saw a couple of 700 series units out recently. Would you like me to take some pics and get some phone numbers for you?
