What Abe said. Take a look at the JD 300 line.

I wish they had that feature when I bought mine!. I inquired, but no cigar!

Hey there: First, I did not know JD made a residential lawn tractor with a locking differential - news to me. I bought their X-370 a couple years ago (great machine) and had to buy a couple 45 lb. weights to achieve necessary traction to mow my extremely hilly field adjacent to my lawn. I...

Shortly after buying my JD lawn tractor, it developed a very, very slow leak in the left front tire. I would have to put air in every week before mowing. I found a product I'm sure all you guys know about - "Slime". It's a suspension with tiny polyurethane bits and fibers. I had used a...

I am in almost an identical situation. Everything I have read, and my own common sense told me that a ZT is not the machine for steep slopes. Hardly any weight in the front - which creates problems going both up hills and mowing across them. Dangerous! I had a Husky YT42 DXLS lawn tractor with...

For me, the deck is not a problem to blow off dust, leaves and clippings. It is the very fine dust clinging to the engine housing that the blower won't budge (and it's a $300 beast), and I don't want to spray it down with water for reasons I don't need to tell you about with your knowledge. I...

Thanks. I've never used, nor would I, a power washer on it. I have washed it off maybe 3-4 times just with a garden hose and standard gun attachment. It has been so dusty here lately. I'll probably do an early change on the air filter! The tractor has only about 130 hrs. on it - it's 2 yrs...

Although I don't question the logic of avoiding washing or allowing rain on my JD X-370, I'd like someone to comment in a little more depth about the possible damage caused - particularly by just washing off the exterior. Also, I wonder about the deck attachment which allows a hose to be hooked...

I can't speak to your immediate issue but want to let you know (if you don't already) that these engines are made to run at full throttle continuously when blades are engaged and cutting. Just FYI . . . Good luck with the problem you are having. These guys on here are pretty sharp (pun...

Thank you for that Bert! The signs are everywhere . . . But we have to look!

Duly noted, Toby . . .

That's precisely what I do, except I do unhook both battery cables.

They run much cooler too.

Great point, SC!
