"Overall, I like the X728. Does surprising well plowing up a steep driveway in winter here in WI (thanks to the 4x4) and does an okay job cutting the grass. I wish it weren't quite so tall so it would fit better under tree branches and I would think JD would solve the problem of grass and twigs getting caught under the belt guards, which are a real pain to take off the clean. I believe the newer X728 has a drive over deck feature which is great. Mine does not and it is real difficult to slide the deck sideways under the tractor to install the deck. But this is my 5th Deere, and I rank it equivalently high to a GT345 I once owned which I really liked. I would recommend the X728."

"Ever thing is fine. Only thing is hdy. is very noise. Went to John Deere store to have it checked. They said they were to bussy to check it."
