I've been shopping for a mower, and was just about ready to buy a leftover JD LX280 AWS, when this X324 (see attachment) showed up in my dealer's showroom. There were enough differences to change my mind.
Pricing on the LX280 AWS with 48C deck was:
List price: $5179
Dealer price: $4649
Less JD rebate of $700: $3949
For the X324 with 48C deck it was:
List price: $4499
Dealer price: $4299
Bottom line price difference was $350, and for that I got:
1. More HP - 22 vs. 18
2. Improved 4-wheel steering design. Wheels turn with much less effort.
3. 48C deck wheels now pivot like last year's 54C. Should make deck removal a little easier.
4. More comfortable seat.
5. Lots of minor changes here and there.
It's a little early here to cut grass, but might not be much longer. We've gone from snow Monday to a sunny 60 degreees today, and are expecting 70 tomorrow.
