I went green!!!

It arrived this morning. I bought a slightly used X700. It has 86 hours on it and as far as I can tell in perfect shape. I have been cruising around the yard trying it out. WOW this thing is smooth. The power steering and tilt wheel are awesome. I can not wait to mow with it this summer. They also dropped off 2 very nice hats. So you John Deere guys.....don't tell the Kubota guys that I now have a little "green" in the garage!!

I remember back in 1983 when Deere released the 318 and 420 with the power steering I made the fatal mistake of driving one at the dealership and I was hooked forever. I had driven a 400 Deere a year before and was convinced they were on to something but the steering was so smooth on the 420 that I just had to have it.

At the time friends/relatives/workmates thought I was insane for spending the extra money for "power steering on a lawn tractor". All it took was one little test drive and you could see by the look on their faces what they thought of power steering.

Now those are great words.......Multi-cultural tractor household......another thing to try out on the wife to justify the John Deere.

The Kubota trolls are always running to JD fourms trying to discourage people from buying great JD products and buy what they like instead. I wounder what kind of commision are they getting to do this?

Good question. I never have even been to the Kubota forum.
