I am going with the manual mulch control. I figure I'll be mulching 80% of the time. I have one of those lawn sweepers that actually works very well. I used it after thatching a few times and it picks everything up.

Picked up the X370 today. Chatted with the dealer for a while and let him steer me in the right direction. Didn't go in there saying I want the 370. I described my yard and what I wanted to accomplish and we landed in the 350 or s240. He said they've seen very few K46 failures over the years...

Thanks. I was actually going over the deere lineup with my wife and she likes the X370 because of the power steering. And the PS would be nice for my 13 year old as he starts mowing this year. It also appears the K57 is a little better because of the serviceability.. plus it's $300 off right...

Thank you for taking the time to post your advice. The last x330 in my area sold and now only 1 x350 left.. They're expecting more by mid May :/. I think I may just bite the bullet and go with the x350... it's more than I want to spend, but I think it'll be worth it in the end. Thanks again...

Thanks a lot for the advice. It seems like cub and husq are adding features to make up for the lack of quality. It's a shame because that locking diff would be great to have, but I'm very worried about overall quality... Wish I could drop the coin on a JD with locker... Thanks again...

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a 42" rider for my ~1 acre lawn. Its fairly hilly in couple spots. Will also use for dethatcher lawn, and light trailering. I prefer to go new as the prices of newer used models are not that far off from new. Will be purchasing from local dealers. JD X330 Pluses- -...
