Price Paid : $6,983.00
Years of Use : 30-Days
Implements : 54" Deck....Powered material collection system.
Purchased From : Barnett Implement, Mount Vernon, WA
Strengths Lots of torque, quiet compared to similar mowers, controls are easy to use and easily reached, individual direction control pedals, high ground speed.
Weaknesses Boarding the mower with the 54" deck is a little tough for us old, fat guys.
Overall I just purchased my X500 to replace an old Troybilt GTX2446. With the increased deck width and higher ground speed, I have cut my mowing time by 60%. I have some major slopes in my yard ant the X500 climbs them with ease. With the three bag (14 bushel) material collection system, I can even bag wet grass. This is an awesome machine. I might be the last person in my rural neighborhood to buy a Deere, but I can guarantee you that I'm the happiest.
