I have the X739 with the snow blade and drive on deck. I love it. It’s a huge upgrade from the L120 I had for years. The L120 would get stuck all the time on my hilly property and it basically tore itself apart plowing. The X739 plows my driveway like a beast and doesn’t even need weights or chains. I can rip through my 1 acre yard in half the time, but I don’t see the high fuel burn that you do. The thing has a ton of power - enough to drag fallen trees. Also maintenance is easy: nice port to drain the oil, etc.
Nice video! As a new X738 owner I agree with everything you said. Expensive, but worth it. Simple life rule: buy the best you can afford and you will usually be happy.
Nice work laying these out. I have a 2018 x739. 5 gallons/acre seems high. I am mowing 3-4 acres with some very steep areas and always get it done using under a tank (although barely sometimes). Strongly agree with your stability comments!
I’ve had my X739 since 2014 and I’m going to disagree with you on the gas usage issue, I mow about 3 1/2 acres and it takes around three to three and a half hours to mow on average. They have a five gallon tank on the tractor and I can mow twice on a tank of grass, in the spring it might take 3/4 of a tank but by July when the heat slows the grass mowing season a bit I can usually mow twice. I live in northern Ohio so spring mowing is definitely more of job than middle of summer is, but this thing is a beast. My biggest mistake when I bought mine was I didn’t get the three point hitch, so anyone buying one of these X700 series tractors, I’d recommend getting the three point hitch when you buy the tractor. There’s just so many attachments that you can get for these that helps get the most out of your investment, I know there’s some sticker shock when you invest in one of these but a three point hitch is the one option that opens up what you can really do with this tractor. Sorry to ramble on but I wanted to say something about the gas mileage and to say thanks for the video. Have a good one everyone!
Thansk for your feed back and your experience with you x700 series tractor. I would implore anyone that is getting a x700 series that they get the 3 point and pto installed. It does have its limits due to the size of the tires and how low to the ground it is. As to the fuel usage. I'm glad that yours is getting such good fuel usage. Maybe mine is abnormal, but we can not mow our yard two times without filling up. I just asked my wife how long it takes her again and she said 1 hour and 10 min. And that's uses over half a tank. Our old mower with a 20hp brings and I'm not sure how big the tank was, but it was smaller than 5 gallons.( I think about 4) And I know we could mow 2 times with one tank of fuel with that.
If there’s ever any thought about getting a Rototiller or any other implement that needs a PTO then get one. It’s actually not to difficult to put the PTO on yourself after the fact, there are good videos about doing that. Maybe watch it and see if you’d be capable of doing that yourself. You have to drainage the hydraulic fluid out of it but it’s recommended that you do that at 50 hours anyway. If you get one you’ll enjoy the heck out of it. Good luck and have a good one!

Oh, I might be interested in that extra gearcase. I have a 54" that needs lots of work. I am in SE Minnesota.

I got a 758 diesel. Only uses 2 gallons per yard

Do you also want to get the PTO when you add the 3 point hitch?

All wheel steer is awsome!!😊
Great video!😊
Thanks! 😊
As far as the radiator direction...i would get a different fan blade that blows rearward instead of the stock one blowing fwd/sucking air outtcab
I have thought about that, just haven't looked into it.
I just bought a new x738. I plan on getting the blower and cab next year, where did you buy the cab?
I got it as a package deal with the snowblower.
Where do you get that gear case upgrade?
I ordered one off Ebay and then I decided to call my local dealer and it was cheaper than ebay. So I would check with you dealer
Thank you 👍
