"Brought a used 2013 X320. Lots of plastic and cheap construction. This an expensive machine but guess what... no gas gauge, no rear tail lights. Purchased a 44 in John Deere snow blower. Made in India. Tire chains made in China. Deck wrench made in Taiwan . John Deere is well started on the slippery slope to total offshore manufacturing."

"With a new lawn, we added the X320 to help with the work. With @8,000 sq ft. of St Augustine the adjustable skid wheels are a nice touch! We have settled with 3 1/4 inch cut with 3 1/2 on the skid wheels. Looks good, and very little clean up with the mulch kit."

"Tried mowing with the 320x. My yard has a slight grade---mower got stuck---tires spinning. Would not move in forward or reverse. Had to have my neighbor bring his older model JD (purchased in the 1990's) to tow me. The 320x is top-heavy, no feeling of security going down a slight hill. Too many knobs, levers, buttons to operate. My neighbor's older JD is built closer to the ground. I can recommend this mower only if you have a very level lot. That being said, the mower feels frail. Lots of rattling and shaking when started. Transmission is not smooth. Lurches forward when gas pedal is pushed. Overall, just didn't feel like a quality product to use."

"It's been a great mower up until this problem arose. Engine is super strong.I like the Kawasaki engines.Lots of plastic to be a John Deere."

"I like John Deere because of the many years of good service with my 420. I sold it because I couldn't deal with the weight of changing the loader bucket. I bought a Cub Cadet zero turn, which didn't work out. Then I bought a John Deere LA130 from Lowes. The lousy K46 tranny konked out at 150 hours. I put a new one in and sold the tractor. Then I bought my current tractor, an X320. It seems to run well, but I threw the deck belt off twice, and I wore a hole in the one plastic guard. It was a pain putting the belt back on, but I did it. The traction and balance is way better than the LA130, and I hope the K58 tranny holds up."

"I had a bearing go out of the idler pulley for the deck within a week of purchase. I also had a slight problem (can't think what it was---belt?) on the hydrostatic drive after about 3 years service, but was a simple fix. I mow two to three lots a week, and one is rather hilly and rough, but this tractor has shown no signs of other construction weaknesses. It's built like a tank. Mows great, and I have the 48" deck. Wish it had the hose adapter for easier cleaning, and although it's fairly easy to remove for service, it's a multi-step process that should be simpler."

"I have had two major problems with this machine. The deck lift takes all of my weight to lock it in place and unlike other people said the steering is not that easy to turn. The dealer came to my home and could not repair the problems so I am upgrading to a X360 that has a power lift, steering, tilt wheel & a serviceable transmission. Another issue is the bagger cover does not seal on the left side and blows grass all over the operator. The dealer didn't cut the shoot correctly and it could not be removed so I had to cut it myself. Lucky for me at this time Deere has a 30 day no hassle return so I hope the dealer can fix the bagger and the new X360 for an extra $1,000 will work correctly. Does anyone know if the power flow should make a bearing type sound after a hour of mowing?"

"This is a tremendous tractor in a lot of ways, and has great creature comforts. We run three different tractors all of various manufacturers, and none are as comfy to drive as the X320. Our ONLY gripe is that the deck belts do not last very long as compared to our other tractors. We replaced the original belt at just over 100 hours. We also had to disable the no-deck-drive-in-reverse feature so we could get some work done."

"Good lawn tractor, better than most garden tractors. Cut quality is excellent, as is the build quality. Owners manual is top notch and the plethora of info on the Internet is a huge plus. Dealer makes me want to go back even though it's 4 times as far as competitor dealerships. I have some slopes in my 2 acre field and that is the only thing that has me worried with this tractor. Definitely is slower on those hills. For the price is a good product but is expensive for what is just a mower and leaf collection tool."

"Did a lot of looking owned a LX 176 for 15 years, So far great! Seems to me, for my needs, this tractor is the biggest bang for the buck."
