I have a JD 430 L&G w/60" MMM that I bought new 1-5-85. It has been and still is a great mower, never had a service call or problem. But, I realize that I may now be working on borrowed time as it's only a matter of time before problems start to arise due to age if nothing else. So, I am thinking about trading for an X595 with the 62" MMM but I have a couple of questions/concerns and thought maybe some of you familiar with the 595 may have some experience to share.
Since I have an area to mow that is pretty hilly I am concerned with the center of gravity, how is the 595 in this respect? My 430 with fluid in the tries is like a goat, you'd have to work to turn it over and I would think the 595 is pretty much the same. Does it sit higher?
How would the turning radius on these two compare? With the 4WD on the 595 I am concerned about this even when it's in 2WD.
Anything else I should think about or look at?
Thanks for your input.
