I just bought an x300R...it is without question the best unit on the market......the rear discharge is an incredible asset!....allows u to travel between trees and do a great job..I love it!
This riding mower cannot discharge the grass properly because its outlet is too small and the fan is not efficient. One solution is to mow your lawn every 3 days (2 days in the spring) in order to mow a very small amount of grass. If you wait one week, the grass outlet will be blocked all the time. Conclusion: this machine is made to mow when you have no grass, a machine to mow in the desert!
To clear it requires removing the shoot (easy), reaching in from the top of the deck to pull out what you can, then tipping the mower up on it's side & reaching under to get the rest out (not so easy). Small sticks, leaves & other debris can block the shoot easy which is a lot narrower than the older models.
I just bought one of these. After previously owning a LTR180 & before that a LTR155. In the video it shows happy mowing of wet grass. In the real world its not so happy. The sensor dosn't always stop the cutting when the shoot is blocked, the fan continues to pack grass into area immediately next the fan.
The exit hole into the shoot tube is too small and I constantly get blockages. Easiest way to clear is make a small tool like a claw with two bent prongs, attach to a longest stick, say 3 feet or a metre, poke in the hole and twist and it pulls out all the shite, clear the wheels and belt below, fire up and bingo, ready to rock and roll again, but don't forget to put the shoot tube back!, unlike me, half an acre later and the grass bag is empty and the mower was dragging mulch for miles! Opps!
anyone know how the blades placed . I had to keep cutting edge facing each other. They turning in opposite directions. I removed the blades too sharpen and i forgot the directions.
I HATE this mower!!! This is a replacement of a previous model I had, which was just as night-marish. I though by getting the rear bagging system would eliminate the plugging up of the shoot. WRONG!!! So disappointed. I have to stop about every 5 minutes to remove the rear bag, the shoot and then get down underneath and chizzle grass from inside the part the tube attaches too. Takes time and frustration. Then you are left with big square clumps of grass, which look just like horse shit, all over the place. My dog tries to eat it. I went back to John Deere and voiced my frustrations. Met with the salesman, parts manager and the guy that is supposed to make customers happy. They told me that the shoot plugs up because the grass is wet and that I have to wait until 3pm to mow! Hahahahaha, really? If landscape companies all waited for the grass to be dry at 3pm, they would all be out of business. I could not believe my ears. They were supposed to bring me another mower to try out and possibly do a trade and that never happened. Lots of telephone tag, but they didn't stay on top of it. I won't buy another Deere again from that place.
Wendy Morgan I also have the x300r mower. In a few areas I mow 5' tall grass with it in the spring. The ground is too wet to mow before it gets that tall, and It's not a high enough priority to weedeat. I have learned a few things that have helped me a lot. I carry a Corona brand 10" folding pruning saw under the seat. when it plugs up it is just the right length witth just the right hook on the end to reach in from the back and pull the blockage out. Its also handy for trimming branches or brush along the way. Although mine doesn't do it often, it sounds like yours plugs up in the exact same place as mine. If mowing wet grass, mow it slowly. What happens is the blower tries to force too much grass up the tube and it looses speed. This causes it to back up a little, because the blower is still spinning, it keeps packing the grass in and it plugs up just past the blower fins. Keeping the discharge chute and blower insides clean really helps to minimize this as well. I realize this seems very obvious, but if you keep it in mind, it shouldn't be a problem. I run mine pretty hard and am quite happy with it. The largest complaint I have with the model is ground clearance, but I'm working on larger tires now.

A lot of work removing the deck, they both seem to plug up to easy for my taste. I think the power flow with the caster wheel cart works better the both of these do and you can remove it when not needed. I bet the length of the lawn mower isn't much longer. very messy dumps or was that done on purpose? I'll stick with Gator mulching blades a side discharge, faster and better for the lawn.
Raymond Farwell One nice thing about the rear discharge (As well as a mulching setup) is having the ability to mow tight against objects on either side. The dumping isn't as bad as the video makes it look. for me I have a big hill I back up to, pull the handle, give it one jiggle weather it needs it or not, put it down and drive. It is quite covienent. probably less convienent for those who don't dump on site, as the bagger when full is not liftable by hand.
@gfalfa E' una informazione sbagliata quella che tu dai! i modelli prodotti da Castelgarden sono: CR125, LR135 ed LR175. il resto dei modelli escluso i trattori compatti 20C e 25C (Goldoni) sono prodotti da John Deere per lo più in America.
I strongly recommend to buy this beautiful machine, for the following reasons: 1. he mouth too fast at the turbine. 2. For the lead, it takes you 20 minutes, en you need an elevator, because the turbine has everything packed into the drive 3. Whenever you turn right, even slightly, it remains a straight line between the mowed strip 4. On a gently sloping terrain, the plate swings down. This gives a height difference of mowing 3 to 4 cm between the two sides.

and a lot of swearing :-(
2mins + 30 secs - That's truly beautiful GREEN grass. Go walking (without shoes) on that grass!!!

I've never once had a sensor stop it from mowing when clogged..? lol And it clogs... a lot.

very well made video, thanks
anyone know how the blades placed . I had to keep cutting edge facing each other. They turning in opposite directions. I removed the blades too sharpen and i forgot the directions.
They should be stamped but they rotate so as to feed cuttings into the center impeller opening in the center of the deck.
The blades are stamped L & R . Standing at the rear of the tractor determines left & right
I'm looking at John Deere for my next mower. Any suggestions?
Not a X350R as it clogs all the time with wet grass
@@tippet262626 my JohnDeere X350R have no problems with wet grass.

They're 100% right. ANY tractor will plug up if you try to cut wet grass. This is a no brainer.
@@TotalMishap not a good one lol
Same with ours. This is a huge design fault. John Deere please sort out! We live in the UK and the grass is never dry!

pour avoir eu un John deer et un GGP je préfère de TR7S loin le GGP moins chère et bien plus performant!

What is the name of that song in the video? Sounds like good lawnmowing music lol
They aren’t designed to pick up wet grass. Get a clue
