Live in new jersey went shopping at the local JD facility located in White House NJ. delt with a very knowledgeable sales individual by the name of Chris's. He took his time Bd answered every question I presented to him. Explainedall the differences between 200, 300 and the X570. Lower models were half the price. But they couldn't compare to the frame to the frame components in the X570. I was a former metal shop teacher in a HS. I like quality and I feel I will have it with this machine. I have to say I have a landscaper cut my 2 acres every week. I want this tractor to do some minor timing and get me around my property. Chriss told me this was an over kill for what I wanted to do with it. He really didn't know I wanted a X700 series but the $ were an issue for me. I get it delivered on Friday. Maybe put a few hours on it and keep it Bristol and trade it in next year on a X 700. . Time will tell. Can't wait to see it and drive it. Got a mulch kit on it plus a JD cart and they gave me a A new JD cap. Left with my cap on and a happy camper.
