- A quick tour and explanation of the Power Mulching and Power Flow Bagging attachments on my John Deere X380 lawn tractor.
The coolest feature is that power mulching attachment - it's nice to be able to control that on the fly. I did also get the power flow bagging system so I could pick up clippings and in the fall I will just mow and suck up all the leaves.
My initial lawn tractor review on this unit is excellent and I really enjoy mowing with this tractor!
Thanks for showing. I’m really happy with my X380.
awesome - It performs well!
Great video. Good job. It helped me out with my question. Didn't know if I had to take off my mulch kit after buying and installing the power flow. Thank you. 👍👍
no - it works just fine. You can actually close the mulch kit flap with the electronic mulch kit when your bags get full too.
I know nothing about mowers. Its 2 am I came here just for a heart . Thank you.
aaand you've got it 10 minutes later. Tell your friends!
Nice, I have a 2019 X380 with 54" deck and am thinking of adding the Power Flow to get it all up. Seems like unless the blades are sharp enough to shave, the amount of suction pickup decreases. It looks like it's 5+ years since you made this, So tell me still really like the Power Flow?
Thanks
I do - I only use the PowerFlow a couple times a year though. I use it for fall clean up, and for days that I know we’re having company over within a day of mowing (kids birthday parties and such) to reduce the clippings that get tracked into the house. It works well, but I normally mulch the clippings into the grass for normal weekly mows.
That's almost exactly what I want this for, Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. Also a rotating group of Birthdays and kids things, Last my Maple and Oak and other Fall Clean up. I appreciate the quick reply.@@tsr6
@ganash11 that’s basically what I use it for - and in the spring when I detach and overseed!
Nice machine, the 300 series is the way to go if your budget allows. Best of luck with it.
thanks! I'm really happy with it so far - I have nearly 30 hours on it now. All good so far!
I sure wish you would have shown how to attach and remove the power flow bagger.
Too many curse words for here....
Just kidding. Maybe. I can try and do one this summer!
@@tsr6 exactly why I came here but you didn't show it
Yo kind creator giving free hearts? You going to the top!
Something to know, if in your fuse box you have a 20amps fuse in position C3, then your actuator depends on it. The red wire on a current x380 has constant 12v while the yellow wire has 12v when the start switch is on. The fuse is for the red wire.
That's the coolest damn thing I've seen on a mower lmao
Thanks, I love it!
I have the x500 when I mont the snow blower every season, I don’t use the family friendly language. I hear you. Also the deck 😂
Oh the deck…. Yeah that’s a fun one.
Good video... Thanks. How well does the power chute work for picking up the grass and keeping the chute from not getting clogged when the grass is damp?
It works great - I have never had the chute clog up.
I have a JD x394 with electric Munich as well. Did you have to remover the mulching bracket (mulching stop plate) in order to put on the power flow ? Hope you read this!
My dealer setup everything - I’m not sure what plate you’re talking about.
Thanks for the video. I have the same tractor, 2020 model. Mine will roll forward and backwards further than I like when I take my foot off the pedal. My old JD would stop dead when I took my foot off the pedal. Does yours do that? I’ve taken it back to the dealer three times and they’ve replaced the trans axle twice and it still isn’t right. They can’t figure out what the problem is.
Mine doesn’t really roll when I’m off the go pedal…
I bought a x380 last summer. I've called Deere to add the mulching kit and they say it won't work with the power flow. If I want to use the mulcher, I'd have to remove the bagger. Are you able to have both on and use either/or?
Weird... It works. Here's the thing, with the bagger, you "should" have high lift blades to better get the grass to the PowerFlow. Mulching blades dont do this as well, but I will tell you my bagger still performs well with the mulching blades.
Considering purchase X384 with power chute and bagger + electronic mulch switch kit (sometimes conditions good for mulching - other times better for collecting debris). Does the power chute option compete with the mulching feature? I understand that taking power chute and bagger system on and off is a real chore. Thanks!!
They all work together fine. When mulching, the power chute is just pushing air. Actually removing the bagger and powerchute is easy but when you get used to it. I don't expect to remove it myself often.
The bagger + mulch kit is a dream. I mulch most of the time. I bag in the spring, fall for clean up, and the if I have company coming over that will be in the lawn. I also bag to pick up when I de-thatch the yard.
On the mulch kit, I usually try to mulch, but I open the chute pointing away from my patio and driveway so the mulch kit doesn’t blast these areas with clippings (blowing it into the yard) - so that’s what I love about doing it on the fly.
The two kits don’t compete with each other too much. I know I’d get slightly marginally better bagging performance with high lift non-mulch blades - but not enough to make it worth swapping blades back and forth. I’m very happy with the mulch and power flow when they’re needed.
Is the spindle that hooks into the power flow a double (one on top of another)? I only ask bc I have a 345 I'm considering getting one but I don't see a spindle to hook it up to. I know this was an option for this mower but I think it might have to have a customized spindle near the side chute
Yes there’s another pulley added on top of another to drive the power flow belt.
do you have to lower your scalp wheels one notch on the bagger side of the deck?
No I re level my deck.
Can I get the Serial # for that bagger Blower?
Do you mean a part number?
Where can I purchase the bagging system for the x380?
Your local John Deere dealer.
Hello, nice 💪 How long, wide and height is the tractor with the bagger?
Too wide for my shed door, I can tell you that. I need about 3-4” or so
Nice machine
Sealcoat will always be the best alternative to glue. Heart?
Done. Tell your friends!
Got mine today with the same options. Do you use the mulching blades all the time? Did you tried to unplug the reverse switch?
I do use the mulching blades all year and with the power flow. I’ve heard it’ll move more clippings with the high lift blades - but I mulch 90% of the time. I only bag if it grows too much, if I’m out of town and miss a mow - or for fall/spring clean up.
I have not touched the reverse switch yet. I don’t really have a concern using the button.
tsr6 Thanks for the info. Was it performant with the leafs?
Works great for leaf pickup in the fall!
How well does the system work with a lawn full of maple leaves? Do you have a fall in your local, or are you in Calif. where the weather never changes from summer? I'm in the north east, and deal with fallen leaves every season. Appears those bags would have-ta be emptied frequently.
I’m in Wisconsin. Grass only I dump these twice on a normal cut. With leaves only I dump them 2-3 times. Leaves and grass 3-4 times.
I do use this system to pick up and suck up my leaves.
@@tsr6 Not too bad. Thanks for the reply.
joe quillun hey joe..i have the cheaper L120 series double bagger in COnnecticut and have a crap ton of silver maple in my yard. About every third day during leaf season I drive the yard and it works really well. I don’t know how the power flow system compares, but with mine, you want to wait till afternoon when dry or the chute will clog, stop, disconnect the two chutes, throw your arm down the hole repeatedly pulling out fistfuls of leaves. Takes about 40 seconds of down time. Oh, and wear a hoodie if you use my version, because blowout clippings are always flying out. The power flow system appears to be far, far superior.
tsr6 any thoughts on if this would pick up pine needles?
my concern is how much trouble to dump the grass?
Dumping the grass is easy.
Do all the x series have the same vac bagger system?
From my understanding - yes. The smaller tractors with two-blade decks can use a chute (D-series) - but with the X tractors it's all with the Powerflow bagger system, which works pretty well. I just have to re-level the deck when I switch between bagging and side-exit/mulching.
I normally mulch, but I love the powerflow for fall leaf pick-up, and when I know we're going to be using the yard right after mowing.
tsr6.. No they do not. The first X series 300, 320, 360 maybe another have the Edge deck. These tractors were made from 2008-2015. They then started the second series x330, 350, 370, 380 and so forth in 2016 with the new Accel Deep decks. They changed a couple things enough so they don’t attach. The bagger will mount on rear though. It’s the power flow unit itself that doesn’t work. I know because I had to purchase one from my dealer after purchasing the first series one used.
IF you buy everything, spending 5 to 6K...........is it a pain in the butt and should you just get an easier system?
It’s a little bit of a pain only if you have to put it all on and take it all off. I have to only because my shed door is about 2” too narrow with the power flow hanging off the side.
I will likely eventually modify my shed (door may need replacing in 2-3 years)
What’s the part number for this bagging system??
No clue. I just ordered it through my dealer and they took care of the rest.
Heart! I deserve it man! 😁😁
You got it man!
Pornofilmm
💖
