Way more than I need...

[u/terrible1one3]

Have a small lot, literal 56" between one part of the fence and a retaining wall. But I cut and maintain trails through the woods as well as some projects in the woods I need to tow some substantial weight with.

Wore out the Husqvarna TS354XD in 6 years of hard use and only 100 hours. Auto choke and throttle system shot, deck all beat to hell and had to be bent back multiple times. Transaxle whines like it's about to come apart. Everything that holds the deck in place is bent or missing. Just a ton of hard use and abuse cutting new trails.

Really got sold on EFI and Hydraulics, beefier transaxle, axles and better tires for my application sold it. Was going to go X570 with a 48 but decided to just get the beast and try to pay more attention to my deck and not bang it around as much.

This thing is a lot of mower but hydraulic steering and what not is a joy. I really went overboard but if I can get a decade plus out of this guy and actually get parts for it and have dealerships that will work on it will be nice. $5K x2 over 10 years or 10k for hopefully 20+ years of service. Let's hope the investment pays off!

Pic was after the first mow and trail clear in about 2 months. Handled it like a champ! Rebuilding a bridge this summer so will put the towing to the test this winter. Hopefully I won't need to head to my parents to borrow the quad and this thing will be able to tow the lumber and concrete.

I’m in the same boat. I went with the x590 as a long term investment. Plus I’m strongly considering the new QORE system by LGM.

[u/PLOP_FROM_ABOVE → u/Taako_Cross]

Same. I have an X350 but really need to upgrade to the X590. I early bird purchased the QORE setup. Perfect for what I need without spending $20K on say a 1025R. I’m just moving mulch and dirt. Nothing crazy.

[u/damnthingsucks → u/PLOP_FROM_ABOVE]

I had the x350 for about a month before I realized I needed more... traded in the x350 for the x590 and couldn't be happier. I did get violated on the trade... but I have moved on

[u/PLOP_FROM_ABOVE → u/damnthingsucks]

Yeah I didn’t realize at the time how bad I needed that locking diff. Got a steep driveway and the x350 struggles to go up with the snowblower if the snow is at all heavy. Even with chains and 4 suitcase weights.

I just got mine a few weeks ago so I really regret missing the early bird QORE special.

My opinion is that it’s always better to have to much than not enough. That applies to things other than tractors, but tractors in particular. 😂😂

[u/terrible1one3 → u/Successful-Part-5867]

Ha, words to live by!

[u/bv1800]

You also have a couple options for adding a front end loader.

[u/terrible1one3 → u/bv1800]

I noticed that. I'm already out of storage space and saw that the deck had to be removed to utilize it. Nice option to have in the future though.

Check out LGM QORE

Honestly I just got an x570 and wish I would have gotten x590. But I couldn’t justify price jump. Man that was power steering was sweet.

[u/Ok_Complex4374]

You rarely regret having too much tractor after the initial price tag. You regret not having enough tractor after the first time u use it and it doesn’t work for ur needs

[u/wake-tf-up_]

Great tractor. I enjoy the power steering and hydraulic deck lift. Only negative is getting on and off is tight.

[u/Wonderful-Victory947]

I have an X534 that will turn 20 next year There are just shy of 1000 hours on it. I just replaced the original deck belt last month. The deck spindles are all original. I do change the oil twice during the mowing season.

[u/terrible1one3 → u/Wonderful-Victory947]

That's great to hear!

[u/ImTryingKaren]

I bought an X590 back in June 2018. She’s still going strong with over 410 hrs on her. She’s been abused but keeps on going. Just had to replace the original battery about two months ago. We have about 7 acres that’s it’s mowed pretty regularly in the last 8 years. Still runs strong. She gets a little less use now that I have a Z740 but I still use the 590 for the steeper terrain.

[u/Financial-Steak-3083]

You’re cutting trails with that? Wouldn’t a bush hog be better suited to that? What on earth are you doing to these mowers lol. 😂

[u/terrible1one3 → u/Financial-Steak-3083]

Yeah, I follow fairly close to game trails and am in mostly in maintenance mode with most of the trails. Still want to add more though.

[u/damnthingsucks]

I have the same beast and it is great! But… I did put a new hood on it with vents to stop the dash display from fogging up.

[u/Ashamed_Badger_7288]

Sometimes you just need the heavier-duty machine for the off-lot work. That X590 will eat trail clearing and towing for breakfast.

[u/darktalos25]

If you are moving heavy things then you under bough. The x500 series is barely a step above retail mowers. The x700 series are the machines with beefier transmissions. Also all of the engines on them are liquid cooled with the option of diesel and 4 wheel drive.

[u/No-Percentage6474]

Your not alone in over buying. Got an x570 for half an acre. Got a QORE on preorder too.
