Read what TractorByNet members think about the John Deere X485 Subcompact Tractor
X485 with All Wheel Steer
Model Year: 2003
Very good lawn tractor. I have done regular maintenance with very few problems. Just this month I had a small oil leak at the oil pressure sensor and when I went to replace it the engine case had a crack in it also. Therefore the tractor went to my dealer for repair. $920.00 later and tractor is as good as new. After 900 hours of use I suppose I can expect some wear and tear. I still am very happy with the tractor, if need be I would replace it with an identical tractor if I had to. I mow approx. 2+ acres and it does an awesome job.
Pros: John Deere excels in the durability department.
Cons: All wheel steer is a very nice option, but not always needed.
