On my STX38 same thing happened and the ignition key switch was at fault

I have an 07 1545 with the 72” flex deck and I have 6 belts on the deck. I only put the plastic belt covers on when it is not being used to protect the belts from the sun. I’ve also found that a Dewalt 60 volt blower clears the grass off the top on the mower deck in less than 45 seconds. This...

Anyone prefer a front mower vs a Z turn or regular riding mower?

Understand and good for you and enjoy what ever mower you get.

I’ve had this for two years now and really loved it when I got it. With the 72” flex deck my field looks like a lawn. I even took on cutting grass at my Ruritan club and that field looks like a lawn. The first year just oil and transmission filters and fluid. This year I wanted to start out...

My x324 has a slow battery drain so I put a wing nut on one terminal and disconnect after mowing. I got it new in 07.

The x350 is an updated version of my x324 that I bought new in 07 and still use.

My x324 has a slow drain on the battery when left hooked up and will only give the one click if under 80% charge so I put a wing nut on one battery terminal and only hook up then I need it. All I know is my system works for my x324 that I bought new in 07.

I have a DR leaf vac and as long as you are careful with your turns you”ll be fine. Ive had mine for 12 plus years and I use a John Deere X324 and it has 4 wheel steer. I har to get a John Drrer power flow assembly because the shoot that came with the DR kept clogging. That cost me an...

I enjoy cutting both my grass and the Ruritan yard in the heat of the day. I find that the grass is stretching to reach the sky. I start from one end of the lawn and keep moving the clippings to the other side of the yard which gives a nice manicured looking lawn. At about 3/4 the way across the...

I live in the country and have about 5 acre’s to cut. Bought a new 07 X324 in 07 and she does a great job just a little slow and decided that I needed a bigger mower since as I get older I’d like to have nice grass cut but not take so much time doing it. Thought a Skag 61” would do the job and...
