John Deere X320

[Chaser]

I picked up a 2009 JD X320 the other day. It's to replace the 216 thats for sale. I needed some more reliable and easier for the wife and kids to use.

Those are nice tractors. K58 transaxle and the kawaski! You'll like it.

Only thing I'd recommend is picking up the brush guard bumper for it to protect the hood. Everyone says the hoods are fragile! I put the bumper on my x570 just for that reason.

Hoods are fragile and expensive.

Haven't used it yet, need to pick up a battery tomorrow. Got a pretty good deal in my opinion. Already have the brush guard on my wish list!

Functional and looks tough! It does annoy me that you have to take the pin all the way out to open the hood.

Is that JD's version of a tunnel ram?

Ram Air intake. Getting mowing about 5mph and you can hear the power building!

Good looking new member to the family there Chaser.

Thanks brother. Why don't you come get the 216 out of my shed. Trades welcome!

 

[Toomanytoys84]

How is it working out for you? I'm still in love with my 570. I wouldnt trade it for anything except maybe a x700...

 

[Chaser]

Between the overly busy schedule and to much stinking rain I've only used it once. Was pleasantly surprised at how smoother it was and how much tighter it turned than the old 216!

No room for more the Cub took my last open spot.
Although I’ve been thinking I’d like a 1966 JD 112 so I have a mate for the Cub.

 

[Chaser]

always room for one more!

Me and dad have discussed why we like the new tractor so much.

The only thing we can come up with is the smoothness and how good the controls are!

I cut for almost 4 hours straight on stopping to grab beverages and some fuel. I was ready for more after I was done. The old tractors always left me wore out and ready to be done....

 

[Chaser]

Yeah, I could agree with that.
