Hello Rose don't listen to none of the comments below the bad ones anyway I have that same exact lawnmower just over 500 hours I'm in the commercial business and since the day I started mowing with it I haven't looked back I haven't had to do anything to this mower but service if it goes out I will buy another one the same model you are good to go

[@tobirose]

Thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate you! My favorite comments are the nice people that give good advice because I'm learning how to do all this myself... :-) I'm happy to hear that you have the same mower as me and it's got so many hours on it n running great!

just a tip, but its much easier to mow tall grass if you discharge away from the grass you're cutting.

[@tobirose]

Ok, thank you... :-)

[@sonofanug]

Easier yes, but then you don't remulch all the clippings...

[@thr8061]

She will need to make several passes from a tall 1st cutting to shorter & shorter. The first cut should/could be blown across what was cut and then next pass(es) will mulch it up nicely.

[@danbasta3677]

beerz4us Agreed.

[@sodbuster518able]

Another tip start on the highest depth setting and on take a half row at time then come back with a 2nd pass at lower setting

[@danielcrown1084]

I have owned an x300 for over 11 years, and it is still running strong. It has over 800 hours and the 42" deck had to be replaced last year to a 48". The Kawasaki truly is a beast, and i have had no transmission problems. The X-series are true John Deere's. the D-series are an MTD with a John Deere name slapped on.

[@howardkoster4026]

Hi! Glad to see a lady out here mowing and enjoying her equipment! I do NOT believe in negative comments or any gender bashing...I own 0 2007 John Deere X300 with just over 500 hours on it.. It's just now, needing some attention..No, I don't cut grass for a living, but I started cutting grass at 9 years old. The old, push reel mower, no engine type...I see on your video, you know to go slow in the tall grass so your machine doesn't bog down. I also see that you went to cutting counter-clockwise after you made your initial passes so the machine won't be re-cutting more and more grass. Very wise. I use a garden hose to wash under the deck after every time I mow to save the deck from rotting out. I also run the 44" snowblower during the winter which is very helpful for me! Enjoy your "little brute" as I call my tractor and many happy years with it!!!! Maintenance, as I'm sure you realize, is key to keeping a machine long term!!!! Hurray for you! Yes, you set the mower deck way up high at first, for cutting very tall grass, then, re-cut again with it set a little bit lower. Repeat as needed. I've seen the "pros" do it that way too....You may need many passes for it to be the way you want, because it was so tall. It won't come out perfect the first time with tall grass. You'll get it....I see at 10:11 your lawn got a cat scan!!!

[@张朝波-y3c]

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. kzbin.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

[@johndenver8574]

Your happiness is infectious. Would love to see more of this kind of video. I use a john deere myself. It definitely runs like a deere.

[@pizzasub3194]

You should start off at the highest deck setting, mow over the tall grass once, then put the deck to your desired height and go over the area again. It'll help with mulching too.

[@tobirose]

Oh yes, I did have the deck set to the highest setting and went over it a couple times then raked it for hours and days!

[@PopPunkPoser]

Keep an eye on your mower deck, that it's not getting too much build up that could cause a heap of problems. Shredded belts, pulley damage, broken brake system on the deck belt. So much fun plowing through tall grass but it could end up costing you big time in the long run. Watch that buildup. Fun video to watch. Can't wait to break in my new John Deere 🤗

[@LadyWritr2]

Very fun video, I truly enjoyed it! I started mowing fields with my John Deere in Georgia after a guy with a bush hog ran over and completely squashed my favorite little box turtle. The John Deere did not squash him as he burrowed down low in the grass, but sometimes I hopped off and moved the little guys. I now work on lawn mowers and understand them much better so here are helpful suggestions: First mowing of tall grass; put deck up at full height and go slow. Every lap after that, take only about half of it and make sure the discharge (where the grass shoots out, goes off to the side you already mowed. If you don't do that, you work the motor too hard and also, pretty soon the belt will be slipping and you will have to replace it. I was amazed a guy on this comment section said he used a Cub Cadet. After years of my JD climbing right up out of ditches and giving me no problems at all, this Cub Cadet LTX1045 has a fuse that keeps blowing and leaves me completely stranded, the tires slip like crazy and, it is in no way comparable to the John Deere! Have fun, Honey!

[@user-cf8ir6iy6y]

I mowed similar with an S240 but I took 2 passes. I cut the first with the highest blade setting....then lowered it to "3" and did it over. I even have a mulch kit on my mower. No issue.

[@karstenmeanor6515]

You should put the blades to 2 1/2 that is like perfect

[@Just1American1966]

That looks like the JD my neighbor just got. Worked out well for me because he gave me his old one, a Craftsman YT4000 from 2011. It's my first tractor mower. It needed some work, but it's romping good now. I kind of actually look forward to cutting now.. at least I have two properties I take care of, mine, and that of a lady down the road (pretty, too, like you.)

Roberts Manguss Tend to agree with you. This is whare a big tractor with a brush hog would be a better choice to use. Once it has been brush hogged a few times, and the grass is much more shorter and doesn't grow quite as fast, then you can use this tractor either on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Hi T .Rose, just a tip, when you've finished mowing it's not recommended to wash the deck down as the bearings are still hot & they widen open a bit which will allow the water in when you wash it...as the unit sits waiting for it to work again the rust has started to do damage...it's recommended to wash the deck when cold...Just a helpful tip.

[@roadglide1142]

[@godwhomismike]

Heads up, you have a lot of grass stuck under it. Make sure it isn't all jammed up on the transmission. The K46 doesn't have a reputation for being a long life transmission, and the grass stuck under it could prevent it from properly cooling. The failures are supposedly caused from the fluid in the trans cooking/overheating, and usually around 200 hours is when people start noticing it.

[@nuritakeltner6046]

I think the cup holder is probably the best part

[@bwaffleman]

Glad to see such a good work ethic but that's the wrong tool for that job! You need a bush hog for that grass. Don't want to come off rude but those mowers are designed to pedicure grass beautifully not mow down fields, it is horrible for the engine and the spindles on the deck especially when you hear it bog down. A mower should never bog down that's when you know it's too much. The blades are done after something like that so make sure you keep up with the maintenance.

[@tobirose]

I know, I know, your totally right, I moved into a place that the grass was like that, I could have done it differently... This job was a one time deal, I did have the blades sharpened, changed my oil, lubed up the little nipple things (I forget what they are called).... I'm learning and she's been pampered since that day, running beautifully cutting normal length grass now... :-)

[@bwaffleman]

T Rose great to hear! Take care of her and she'll run for years and years

[@drjaygarlicandwx]

Many of us garden/lawn tractor mowers have used them as a poor-man's brush hog, if you take it slow and don't do this every day, these machines will handle everything fine - I recall the first few hours on my x320 cutting an acre of rather tall grass

[@bobbg9041]

T Rose Grease zerts or grease fittings. Little nipple things just takes the conversion to the wrong place. Nice pasture I think I get me a goat or some type of livestock to live in that area😋. A horse would be nice. It looks like a rual setting with places you can ride a horse. The live stock will keep the grass down.

[@danbasta3677]

Michael C Yes, I agree with your comment whole hartedly. Though I'm no fan of John Deere tractors, if i did own one, i still would tend to protect it and baby it and be easy on the equipment. A much bigger tractor with a brush hog would knock out this field in no time flat, and I'm talking about a farm tractor, not a utility tractor, gotta baby the equipment, take care if it, keep the deck clean inside and outside, and above all things, KEEP THOSE BLADES RAZOR SHARP! I tend to wash and wax my equipment when they are cold to the touch after using them, laugh at me if you will, with frequent oil changes and keeping the blades and all the greese fittings greesed up properly.

[@keithienmason4643]

If you clear the grass clippings from your mower deck by hand as much as you can then take any kind of blower to blow the access clippings from the spindles so you can save a deck belt from breaking so much clean underneath the mower deck for better grass flo check your mower blades every season if you're blades look fine or need to be sharpened I would change my blades out of yeah dislocate the sparkplug boots or wire or if you have a to silinder engine dislocate both of the spark plugs boots or wires then put the spark plugs boots back on when are done changing your blades

[@georgesmith7773]

LOL...yeah, I would have used my 1025r, h120 loader, 2048 cutter, and the DR fence line trimmer. I would have cleared out the debris piles, and mucked out the loafing stall. dug a hole and buried it all with my 260 back hoe, then bladed it off with my box blade. point is, she used what she had, treated it gently but worked it hard, and got it done for a lot less than your x750, and a kings ransom less than my 1025r and goodies. hey, it's a Deere!

[@rkwill100]

I found that the second cutting, were there is lots of dead grass, I have to keep a careful eye on dead grass pilling up against the muffler. The result is smoldering grass. When that happens, I back up the mower and use my shoes to kickout the smoldering grass, before it becomes an open flame. You can guess what a problem it would be if I just ignored the smoldering grass and it broke up into open flames.
