Strengths Lots of power.The 22hp engine gives me the power to do me the job.I have about two acres in my yard plus I cut 20 plus yards for other people.I have 117 hrs on my mower and it has run very good so for and it hasn't used one drop of oil.It turns very sharp and very easy to steer for a big mower.I also have a L120 that I bought in 2005 and it is nothin to compare to my x320.It is very hard to steer and use oil very bad and the front axale has been broken twice and the front wheel bearings has been replace several times.I would not recomand the new LA series to anyone that has lots of grass to cut but I would the X320.Very good mower.

Weaknesses No weakness at all.Lots of power.

Overall overall to me this is a wonderfully mower.I enjoy mowering grass with this mower.I think the X320 is the next thing to the zero turn with the tight turning it has.And the John Deere dealer ship where I bought this mower has been very good to me.

Strengths Powerful engine and nicely built machine. 48" Deck is beautiful. Purchased in May of 2009 for mowing 2 acres of grass and a little lugging of yard debris here and there. Meter currently at 50 hours.

Weaknesses Not one negative issue. Hard to believe.

Overall I'm extremely happy with this x320. Starts instantly every time and the engine has not missed a beat.Lots of power. Very easy to steer. Oil change and maintenance is very simple with no difficulties.

Strengths Good Power and looks sharp

Weaknesses Transmission. Transmission. Transmission

Overall Smooth ride, accessories expensive and service calls add up at over $100 each time, just to get it back to dealer!!! Bad investment in my opinion.

Strengths Beautiful mower, extremely comfortable with which to mow, high vacuum blades and wide dispersal pattern, few if any rows of cut grass showing afterward. Smooth running Kawasaki engine. Dash Controls well laid out.

Weaknesses Kanzaki transaxle failure at 2 hours, replaced under warranty. Dealer claims they are sound. I am not convinced. Like previous poster I am very concerned the replacement will fail too. It has shown signs of issues already when overloaded and that takes very little. It has gone into effective bypass mode twice under heavier load since replacement, Step on the pedal and nothing happens, I suspect if you keep it there a second too long, it will be gone too. Almost seems to have a excessive pressure power bypass which is set too low. I would like to get some attachments but am concerned it cannot handle them. I see that currently, they limit the recommended lawn roller to 18x36 and under 400 pounds. They limit the core aerator to 40 inch period not 48inch. For a 25 HP motor that is pretty low. I think they know they have a problem

Overall I would love it if it had a transmission I could believe in but it doesn't. It is supposed to tow its own weight of 700 pounds but I have no confidence it will. I doubt I would buy this tractor again unless I could get a geared transmisson, maybe a GT version. As strictly a mower, it is very nice but not for a whole lot more I think except light work.

Strengths Turns tight and is quiter than the previous mower I had. Very confortable.

Weaknesses I had a transaxle replaced due to failure. The new one has pushed out some oil but has not failed yet. A replacement not under warranty would be expensive.

Overall

Strengths Good built mower. Dealer support. Comfortable, makes mowing enjoyable. Turns sharp for a 2 wheel stear machine.

Weaknesses It dies when you get off seat. Have to pull up on switch to mow in reverse.

Overall I love this mower. Cuts grass very good.
