I'm looking at getting a jd tractor that can rototill / blow snow within the next two years. Is the cornering / steering that much of a difference between the x500 and the x534?

Welcome to TractorByNet!

We moved your thread to the John Deere Lawn & Garden forum. :)

I'm not sure about the steering difference but if you are considering a snow blower I would go with a model with hydraulic lift. I have the X530 and the hydraulic lift for the heavy blower is nice. I think I read that the X500 with the blower is fairly heavy on the mechanical foot lift. There is a spring assist that makes it a little easier but that is an option. Also I thought I read that you can't put chains on the 4 wheel steer model. Not sure about that. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Not totally sure but I would check the tiller compatability on the 534.

The turning radius of the X500 is 22", for the X534 it's 27".

Roger that! The hydraulic lift is a must.

You can put chains on a X534.

OK, a X534 is 4 wheel steer, the X500 is not.
If the X500 turns shorter, why offer the X534?LOLOLO
Another "don't believe every thing you read on the internet"
