Duke, what is the upright bar on the left side of the mower?

I don't have an X series. Wish I did.

 

I have an LA175 with 54" Mower and Trailer.

You guy's with the X540 how are you liking them. My dealer has a couple new units and I am debating on getting one.

 

I have read some complaints for water pump leak issues. When I ask the dealer about this they said that they don't see problems with them leaking but they do see issues with the radiator plugging up with dirt, and said that you have to blow the coil off after each use and to make sure the antifreeze is changed every two years.

 

I also read that these units puff a lot of smoke on start up when cold.

 

and that the hood cracks easy. several post about this, hood cracked right down the center when opining it.

 

 

I would like to know how well you like them if any of you are experiencing any issues with it., and how big is your yard?

 

 

 

Should I get the X540 or the newer X590 which loses the liquid cooled engine but gains EFI
