Strengths Built extremely strong.

Weaknesses Expensive

Overall Great piece of equipment. Have 62" belly mower and front end blade. Had accident with this tractor last week (ran over a hill about 50 degrees for about 75 feet, jumped creek and stuck in other bank. Almost killed me but tractor was not hurt any. I have had this equipment for about 7 years and other than routine maintainence, no expenses.

Strengths By far the best lawn tractor I have ever used! Lots of power, starts easy, can turn on a dime. small tractor but operates like a big one. smooth loader operation, lots of strength.

Weaknesses Could use a 3rd hydralic circuit. (lots to ask of a lawn tractor)

Overall Never heard a bad thing, and feel the same way

Strengths Starts in all weathers, heavy, easy to use & maintain, hydrostatic transmission. Many implements for the tractor. Versatile.

Weaknesses Very pricey. Expensive diesel fuel.

Overall Wonderful garden tractor. Very reliable. Not recommended for small lawns. Works best with acreage.

Strengths 4x4 , 24 hp diesel , steers like a car , and just a comfortable rideing trator ! all atachments are hooked and unhooked with ease ,

Weaknesses steering adjustment could be better , for the size of this tractor it should have 3 hyd valves instead of only 2 circuits ,

Overall This is the badest of graden tractors

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.

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.

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.
