New mower - much better cut

Post by KBGkicksazz » September 28th, 2019, 2:27 pm

Upgraded my lawn tractor to the JD X380.

Huge improvement in cut quality with the three blade 48 inch deck. Don’t even need to slow down when cutting.

I had an X300 and with the thick lawn the mower was leaving way too many clippings. Level deck, multiple blade changes and sharpening but I just could not get the cut quality I wanted. My lawn needs cut every 2-3 days and is very dense.

After much research I went to a triple blade mower.
It’s 22 Hp vs my old one which was 17 Hp. Night and day difference.

Good choice! I helped develop the fuel tank on those mowers!
