X590 light bulb swap (LED)

Congrats on the new X590! I did the exact same LED mod when i got mine delivered earlier this year. Added front brush guard and arm rests. I also got Johnny Bucket and definitely impressed with that. I did install an on-board trickle charger with plug in adapter so i can simply plug it in after a lot of hours using Johnny Bucket. Only other mods is the addition of a 2”’receiver hitch and cyclone hitch plate. I have 47” snowblower arriving next. Good luck with your mods.

Yes I have the 54” deck. Didn’t realize HDAP didn’t come with 48”. I have never mowed with the bucket on as it is rather simple to take off and on. The trickle charger was mostly for convenience than anything, I can’t say I have had a need to use it much. This winter in between using it for driveway duty I’ll keep it plugged in. I also forgot to mention I have the mulch on demand and that is nice not having grass go everywhere.

Below is where I placed the bucket switches.

Here is the amazon link.

why are you trading in the old x590? How old is it?

very nice looking set-up you got there! my biggest regret when i got my X590 a couple years ago was not researching the JBJr a little more. i ended up getting a 48" blade for mine, not a lick of snow since.

That is typically what happens. Buy equipment and never get to use it. Had a few 8”-12” snow events this past year (perhaps unusual) that made my decision to get a bigger blower. I have a small 22” 2 stage walk behind (from my previous smaller house) and although it can do the job at my new house I end up going through an entire tank of gas and have to refill to finish. Figured with the X590 I can double the clearing width and have more fun! I have thought about a blade but was concerned on these larger snow events I may run out of places to push snow. Best would be to have both! Just wish I didn’t have to remove the JBJR bracket when changing back and forth between blower and bucket. Presume I will get proficient at that with time.
