I bought a e100 a year ago that had 26 hours for $500. I’m very happy with it and haven’t had any issues. I use it to mow a 1/4 acre lot that’s all. A lot better than using a push mower for sure.

great video! I am waiting for my x758 to arrive. I thought I had researched well but I learned much from you, thanks for taking the time.

As always excellent video josh ❤ I myself have the S100 and a 1025R and both are excellent machines, Love anything Green and Yellow 👍

Another awesome review Josh! Very informative, sure wish the 580 was still there with you 😂. Cheers 🍻

My X758 has a soft cab with plastic windows. My former X749 also had a soft cab, but with a glass windshield and a motor driven wiper.

The X758 makes an excellent companion to the 1025R.

Hey Josh,
Great video! I’m considering a x758. Wondering if you could do a video outlining why you chose it over say a 1025r. I noticed you mention in an older video when you had the x580 that you felt the x700 series isn’t worth it when you can get a 1025r or a Proper sub compact for similar money. If you’ve done a vid on this I apologise.

I have an e180 but want to upgrade before long!

You didn't mention the hydraulic power steering that makes it so easy to steer.

Can you add a bearing kit to the front axles of the E100? Some call it the poor man’s power steering.

I am looking for a modern garden tractor like my old wheel horse. It was only 12hp had full hydraulics and a sleeve hitch to use a moldboard plow as well as a cast iron transmission. The only thing i can find equivalent to that is a x700 but they are far to expensive and the sleeve hitch for it is over $600. Someone needs to build real garden tractors again.

Still doesn’t seem worth the price. If you want to mow grass buy a mower if you want to get work done buy a tractor.
