Hi, I own a X720 with HDAP tires. My mower rides very rough for such a expensive mower. Could there be anything I am doing wrong.
I have lowered the tire pressure down to 5 pounds in the rear I have the special edition seat where you dial your weight in. It did not seem
like it had any bouncy effect almost seemed like it was not doing anything so even though I weigh 230 I set it way down to 150 and it now seems
to give a little but the mower just rides rough still. The only thing I can think to try next is changing the HDAP tires over to turf tires.
I was wondering if anyone thinks that would help my ride? I can't figure this out because I have another big box store 25hp Scotts model 2548
that seems to take the bumps better then my JD. It has just a regular seat with 2 springs but the seat seems to absorb the shocks better then the 600.00
John Deere seat does. Don't know what to do as my 4 year warrantee is now up on the X720 and the whole reason I bought it was to get a better ride.
Since it did not do this I can trade it for another model a smaller X590 is what I am thinking on trading for. 2 reasons. I can get a new 4 year warrantee a new mower with not much out of pocket but I would be giving up the 62 inch cut for a 54 inch cut and back to belt drive on the deck.
I really love the 700 series but since I can get a good trade now I am not sure what to do. So I guess I am asking others that have a bumpy lawn what model mower do you have and how does it ride for you. My X720 I feel like I am riding a bucking bronco if I go much faster then a creep while mowing.
Sorry this is so long! Any advise would be greatly appreciated I have pictures of my mower in the photos section. Thanks!
