Great video! I’m thinking of buying an X380 but can’t decide between the 48” or the 54” inch deck. Do you know if any problems are had with the 54” inch model or is it just as reliable as the 48”?
Thank you! I have not heard of any issues with the 54" deck. I have always seen great reliability out of the 54" deck. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@WesternEquipment o ya i forgot that...lol its been great.. almost 10 years & no problems with it.. cuts nice as well. the mower deck could use a new paint job tho..
Best thing about these tractors is that you can pick up low hour trade ins at your dealer for less than a crappy big box store tractor. I'd rather have a zero turn,but for the price these are a bargain.
@Jay M yeah,that's what I was saying. The john deere dealers have used trade ins for a good discount over new. Some are just barely used and more or less are still new. Quite a bargain.
You mentioned you adjusted the anti scalp wheels before you started. I’ve reviewed you other video’s and don’t find one which addresses that. Can you explain or tell me where to go to do this correct? Thank you for your deck leveling video. Easy to do and very well done.
It depends on what mower you have and what deck is on the mower. If you can give me the model and deck size I can explain or you can check you operator manual for the instructions as well.
They originally bought this for their lake house but it wasn’t sturdy enough on that yard their yard that there lake house is a steep sloop . So they have this tractor at their main house now to replace their old 100 series that died on them and bought an X700 series with 4 wheel drive for their lake house. They wanted 4 wheel drive because there yard is steep and they wanted something that stay stable on their yard.
Hi iv got the e110 and wondering how to remove the steering wheel cap, do I just get a flat head and force it off or is there a specific spot so I don’t break off the clips?
It has 3 tabs that hold it in place. I would try wedging a screw driver or some other flat tool in directly under the Deere logo and see if you can get it to pop loose from there.
would be nice to keep making these type of videos also.. add different brand mowers to compare against jd only thing i hate jd is stamp deck not welded deck
69 Texaseyes if you’re mowing rocks and stumps, for grass stamped deck is just fine, and cut quality is usually better with stamped decks because of the way air flows with them
i have a older john deere d140 from a few years ago, and i have not been happy with it. the seat rides way too high and it feels like your gonna fall out of the seat. it kind of makes me not like john deere. but it could be the fact its from lowes. also i have had to remove the engine shroud to unstick the starter gear after the first year of having it. and the fly wheel was rusty so i cleaned it up as well while i had it off.
I just upgraded from a 102 (Big Box John Deere from 2006) to an X590. Cut quality is terrific, and although the tractor is quite a bit bigger than the 102, it turns on a dime with the power steering. Really happy with it.
of course this isnt a realistic time...this is perfectly ideal conditions where you arent hardly cutting anything off and there are no obstructions or hills
@@WesternEquipment Thanks Mate, your videos are first class. I hope you get commission from John Deere Australia because you've convinced me on JD for Mower
You do such a great job on all of your demonstrations. You are my go to guy for John Deere equipment.
We appreciate that a lot! Comments like that keep us going.
Me too

Faster than I thought it would be. I was expecting 35-40 minutes. 54 inch deck would probably be near 30 minutes. Great job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes a 54" would definitely cut it down!
I need to know if this mower transmission want slip with 300 # butt on it on a hill
I don't think you will have any issues but it may be a good idea to contact you local dealer and ask if you could demo one to be safe.
Person has no clue how to mow a lawn
wait did u just say top speed was 5.5 mpr??? man thats slow. my 09 x724 top speed is 9 mpr.. but hes right on 1 thing, it is a nice looking mower..
Yes but the X7's are 2 frame sizes bigger so therefor they have a higher top speed! How do you like your mower?

Western Equipment It is the X380 with the 48 inch deck
Would you recommend this model for a 5 acre lot? x350 maybe?
Sure, this should do great for that. Thanks for watching!
Can you test a X580 with the 54in deck?
I'll see what we can do!
@@WesternEquipment Thanks Brent!
Great video! Awesome mower! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Which mower do you have?
@@WesternEquipment don't have a mower right now. When I decided to buy, it will probably be a Z model. John Deere of course!
My neighbors have this riding tractor.
Right on!

Western Equipment ok thank you 😊
Lol ....I like the two view angles...
Me too haha. Thanks for watching!

also.. add different brand mowers to compare against jd
only thing i hate jd is stamp deck not welded deck
We will keep producing them and if we get a chance with some other brands we will do some!
Is the stamp deck an issue?

Well I am sorry to hear that!! You May give one of the X300 series mowers a try! If you demo one, let me know what you think!
@@WesternEquipment if only i had the money to replace it, i do have a good bit of hills but would also like to try a zero turn as well.
I see! Well if you do upgrade in the future, let m elbow what you get and how you like it

of course this isnt a realistic time...this is perfectly ideal conditions where you arent hardly cutting anything off and there are no obstructions or hills
I mean it is still a realistic time. Some people have large open areas just like this...
I love John Deere
Same here! Thanks for the comment.
Honestly it would be faster just going back a forth
I have to disagree with you on a riding mower. But maybe with a zero turn. Thanks for watching!
@@WesternEquipment I agree with you, every time you're making turns to change direction. you're wasting cutting time. 40+ yrs experience - Michael
Great MUSIC Great Video
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Have you timed an x350 yet?
Not yet but stay tuned for this summer! Thanks for watching!
