Congrats on the new X500. Looks like your "helper" is ready for Spring. :thumbsup:

I am tentatively in the market for a new mower and the X500 is the best match for my old Deere mower (which is mostly OK but the deck is rotted out). I am having a hard time stomaching $5000-6000 for a riding mower. Pricing on these things is borderline nuts.
The hills will eat the big box tranny in short order, which may explain why the OP is going bigger. The 500 is the lowest dealer model with a serviceable transmission, why I went up from an x300 that was having issues on my big hills.I'm going to be mowing 3 acres, some steep hills. I blew the motor of a $1700 cub cadet in 3 seasons.
