John Deere X320 reviews

The reviewer owns a 2009 John Deere X320 and has mowed 1 acre of flat lawn for 10 years. They have only had to replace the ECU and have done regular maintenance on the transmission. They are pleased with the mower's performance and plan to upgrade to an X500 in the future.

John Deere x324 or x500?

The reviewer is deciding between the John Deere x324 and x500 lawn tractors for a 2.5-acre property with trees. They will be using the tractor to pull trailers and sprayers, and possibly work a small garden. The x500 has a better transmission for pulling, but a larger turning radius. The reviewer is concerned about the durability of the x324's transmission. They are also worried about the transition from a single blade to three blades on the 48" deck and if hitting a root will cause problems with the blades.

Your thoughts on an x324

The X324 is a 2009 model with 610 hours on a 22hp Kawasaki engine. It comes with a John Deere 44" snow blower and 48" mowing deck. The tractor has a hole in the hood but still runs well. It mows great and handles 18" drifts without tire chains. The reviewer bought a similar model for $2000 and thinks it's a good deal. The X324 has a good transaxle and enough power for a 54" deck. The reviewer recommends checking out Machine Finder.com for pricing. They also mention the squishy ride of the AWS and suggest considering a 394 for a smoother ride.

12 Hour Review of my X324

The X324 tractor has performed well in various tasks such as spreading fertilizer, moving heavy loads, and mowing the lawn. The cruise control and powerful engine make spreading fertilizer easy, while the tractor's ability to handle heavy loads is impressive. The mower cuts smoothly and maintains power on hills, even with high grass. The side-discharge chute works well, spreading clippings effectively. The 4WS maneuverability is a plus, allowing for easy navigation around obstacles. The first oil change went smoothly, although a thin pan is needed to catch oil when removing the filter. Cleaning the mower deck is easier compared to previous models. The RIO feature takes some getting used to, but overall, the reviewer is happy with the mower's performance.

2012 John Deere Select Series X324 AWS Review

The 2012 John Deere Select Series X324 AWS is a powerful and maneuverable lawn tractor. It features All Wheel Steer technology, a 726 cc Kawasaki V-Twin engine, and a Kanzaki Tuff Torq K58 hydrostatic transmission. The tractor has a 48" mowing deck with mulching capabilities and adjustable height settings. The operator's platform is well-designed with color-coded controls and a comfortable seat. The X324 is worth the $1000 premium over the X304 model due to its more powerful engine, wider deck, and additional features.
