Greetings from Wisconsin

Hello all - new John Deere X370 lawn tractor owner here. Last year we bought a new home in Wisconsin, with a lot big enough to justify buying a lawn tractor – it had to be a Deere! So I bought my new X370 (+ 7-bu bagger & mulching attachments) - it’s perfect for our lot. It joins my other “green machine” – a trusty 23 year old Lawn-Boy GoldPro 2cycle self-propelled mower – now used to mow the steep sides of our drainage ditches. We have many pine trees here (hence my screen name), and like to boat and fish. I like doing mechanical work on our vehicles, boat, and equipment (a nice change from my hi-tech desk job).

My interest in JD started early... My dear departed Dad grew up in a large family on a farm in southern Minnesota, then moved to “the city” for his work. On our many nice visits back to the family farm, I was fascinated by their many JD tractors and implements and how they were so maintainable. That farm is still in our family (now owned by a cousin), and another cousin owns a nearby farm. Deere’s are still used at their farms, including 8440 and 5060E tractors and a 6620 combine. Wife's farming relatives also have some Deere's.

I’ll contribute here what I can about my X370, and I look forward to being on your forum!
