Strengths Runs beter than anything I have ever owned. This little diesel is a bear. Better than any gas job I ever had. Pedals are in an easy to reach place. Sarts on the coldest days.
Weaknesses JD parts are very expensive. Much more than Kubota. But neither really break much.
Overall Chicks dig guys who ride green tractors. Buy AMERICAN. The job you save may be your own.

Price Paid : $12,000.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : Loader, snow plow, mower, backhoe
Purchased From : dealer
Strengths The x595 is a gorilla in a monkey suit! The 24 HP yanmar diesel has tremendous torque for ground engaging work - ie. loader & backhoe. I run the hoe off the tractor transaxle hydraulics - no PTO pump here! with great results. I routinely dig out rocks, stumps,and dig trenches. By adjusting the implement hydr pressure, I can lift 1,100 lbs full height w/the loader. This machine is really a compact tractor packaged to look like a garden tractor. The 4x4 option works great. I have installed oversize tires and liquid loaded the rears for extra traction and balance. The drive train is heavy-duty, for example - the front differential assembly is the same unit used in the larger JD compact units.
Weaknesses Tractor could stand to weigh another 200 to 300 lbs to match the available power. No standard 3-pt hitch or rear PTO. They are an expensive dealer installed option. Larger diameter wheels are needed. THe garden tractor size wheels limits the selection of tire designs avaiable (especially the 10" front rims) and the subsequent traction.
Overall If you are looking to landscape and do ground work part-time and still be able to mow your lawn, and do not want to go into a more expensive compact tractor - the x595 can provide both services w/o a strain.

Implements : 54" C Mower Deck, 47" Two -Stage Front Snow Blower
Purchased From :
Strengths This is an awesome tractor. As I heard it explained before it is like a Garden Tractor on Steroid's. The two pedal control works flawlessly. I have the Heavy Duty All Purpose Tires. This winter we had about 200" of snow and this machine handled it without strain or chains. The 24HP Diesel has excellent fuel economy.
Weaknesses The tilt wheel disign is somewhat flimsy.
Overall You cannot beat this Garden Tractor. Comfortable ride, safety and realiability. It even pulled a car out of the snowbank. A little pricey, but it should last for years.
