I just bought a 2009 John Deere X360 with the Kawasaki 22hp v twin engine and k58H trans. with hydraulic deck lift, tilt/power steering, electric blade engagement and the Edge Extra 48" deck. It had 62 hours on it (now has 64) and looks brand new top to bottom (it was stored away). I have some questions and need JD experience and expertise to answer them:
1. Should I only use JD engine oil? Is JD engine oil full synthetic? Or should I use another engine oil that is full synthetic or not full synthetic?
2. Should I use only JD trans. fluid? Or is there a better trans/hydraulic fluid I should use?
3. Should I use only JD air, fuel, engine and trans. filters? Or are there other brands I should use?
4. Got this mower for my yard but was wondering if after a 2 acre field has been cut with a brush hog, can a X360 cut the field on a regular basis without wearing it out and beating it up?
5. Has anyone made the two (2) bar front guard fit on the front of a X360? Or are my only options the single bar or full face guard?
6. How are the anti-scalp wheels "rotatable"? My wheels will not swivel.
7. Any tips or tricks I should be aware of?
Thanks for your comments.
