Brett, thank you for posting your videos. I live in Vermont and after watching your videos, I purchased a X350 with a snowblower from my local dealer. Your videos showed me how easy the X350 is to work with. Thank you again.

Absolute top standard of reviewing. Thank you

I appreciate the discussion about grease points. My 2022 X354 only has 32 hours on the meter but it’s time I start paying attention to these details.

A very helpful to me as a new owner of an X354. I wish my dealer had been as informative. Thank you.

I have a x354 for going on 3 years now, great machine. There is one additional zerk to lube on the brake pedal. The zerks get pretty dirty so I bought some covers for them off e bay to fix that issue.

Wow! What a great video! You are a great communicator and did an awesome job on reviewing this tractor, everything I wanted and needed to know! Thanks so much!

Very informative overview. Kudos on the presentation and to the cameraperson. Just ordered a new X354. Time to put the 90s vintage Craftsman out to pasture.

Brent, could you please touch on what gas you recommend using. I can’t get a straight answer: no ethanol vrs high octane.

[TachiTekmo]

Hey, Brent. Been marathoning your vids the last two days and have learned so much! I'll admit, I've been a bit gun-shy about buying a Deere, due to the price. But as you've walked me through the features, I see all the little engineering touches that elevate them above the competition. Right now, it's between the Deere, Cub Cadet, and Simplicity on 3.5 acres. Now, I just need a set of sweet Western Equipment decals! 🤣 Keep up the great work!

[janetrandle]

You do such a greaT all your videos, and I love that you include your outtakes, as we are not all perfect.

[beilibuton]

Brent, I’ve just purchased a X354. I want to use Mobile 1 full synthetic, when would you recommend it would be safe to make the switch to Mobile ?

Hello - do I need to treat gas before filling tank? I’m planning to use unleaded 87 octane ethanol free gas. Thx

Idea for a video; try fitting the new seat (much more robust) on the 2021 X354 to an older John Deere X380 to replace that older seat. That would be a great upgrade as my 2020 seat has already worn through.

[PaulSummerbell-cz]

Hello - are y’all familiar with the front attachment for JD 40” TRACTOR SHOVEL? If so, the button to lower/raise is not doing anything. I was using shovel in down position to push dirt, and think something may be stuck, but not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thx Paul

Awesome video!! Thank you for the walk around!! (the mouse was a good touch!!)

Important note: I think the 4 wheel steer feature on this mower works well with outside curves but not so much inside curves. I believe you may need the 48” deck if the inside curve of a mulch bed or sidewalk needs the deck to reach it. I don’t think the 4 WS alone will make that happen for you on the 42” deck. My number one reason to select a 4 WS is to avoid coming back to trim. To test this simply spray paint or mark the travel of the tire path then note the 42” deck cannot reach the outer edge of the tire path. Correct me if I’m wrong. I almost made an expensive blunder selecting the X354. Perhaps this could be a topic on another video? Thx

[markrickey]

Hey Brent! I have an X370 and love it. Is there a video or some instruction on how to access the gas tank? I need to address a service issue with a tube going to the top of it (it broke off). Videos on other models seek to indicate I need to remove the entire green shroud in order to do this. Seems pretty complex. Any thoughts on this?

[stephaniecalvo]

Might mention that the braking system on the X series is in the rear transaxle & not on the rear wheels. No need to worry about brake pads... I personally love this feature.

[suemikeemery]

Hello!! If you were to buy a John Deere to handle lawn care for about 2 acres AND handle snow removal in New Hampshire, which tractor would you buy?

[Peter-kk]

Looking to purchase either X350 or X354. Is there any difference between the 2021 X354 and 2024 X354 besides the color of the deck.
