- Before I bought my X350 I researched video's to see how it mowed... All I found was video's of people mowing a perfectly good lawn that barely needed mowing... I needed to know if it could handle big, tall, neglected grass for my property... Everyone told me I should weed whack it first and then go over it... Naaaaah, lets see if it could handle it! It did beautifully! I mowed like crazy for around 6 and a half hours with crazy tall grass! I highly recommend one! Love it! Love it! Love it!
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
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!
i went though tall wet grass with a big diesel kubota like chopping butter with a knife
South from Texas get a ride on brush cutter
T Rose I truly know the feeling about mowing on a john deere x350. I bought the x570 and can't stay off mines. I even had cut some people property for free. They cut like baby bushhog tractors.
South from Texas y bueno para
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_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.
just a tip, but its much easier to mow tall grass if you discharge away from the grass you're cutting.
Ok, thank you... :-)
Easier yes, but then you don't remulch all the clippings...
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.
beerz4us Agreed.
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
I hope u know how to sharpen the blades
Nope, I sure don't, so after that one time cut I did with it, I took the blades off and brought them in for someone to sharpen them for me who knows how to do it... :-)
jesus just diy its so easy.. come on
maybe she's not a peasant like you and can afford to have someone else do it for her ;)
KILLERCONAWAY its dont matter if they are sharp or not , this grass is wayyy to taall for LAWN tractor
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.
Thank you so much for making this video!! I have the same high grass as this on my new home and property which is about 7 acres. I come from living in the city my whole life so this is very new to me also. I was wondering if the x-series mowers would get through this thick stuff. Now I know that they can do it, I'll know which tractor to get this week. I love your attitude!!! Cheerful and happy is the way to be!
Thank you sweetheart! :-) You just made my day and I'm happy to show you the light lol! Happy mowing! :-) It is fun!
@@tobirose You're just so sweet and happy that it makes me want to smile too. I think the world needs to take some notes from you. Have a great weekend!!
😉
it's better than you take a smaller one like x120, and this time that there is the high grass call someone with a facliatrice
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.
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!
A real credit to you T rose & your x350. Both excellent thankyou for sharing! :-)
Thank you!
Put on the highest setting mower height mow it to times have fun girl love your dog we love vergins
Nice job I have the same mower like you have
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.
If you need a lawnmower partner I'm the one for you if you need
Someone's happy pills must of kicked in lol great video I own a deere myself 💯
Stop wasting your grass....that's pretty good grass. Lease the pastures out to horse owners, or a small hay grower. If you are scared of leases, just put out an add in craigslist that you are looking for a small operation to cut, dry, and bale your grass. Sell the hay and put some jingle in your pocket instead of working the crud out of your finish mower. Just my 2 cents.
Great idea! But for now I turned half into a garden and the other half into a baseball/softball field for my son and daughter who are into both sports... Maybe when the kidos grow up n move out I can do what you said n make some extra cheese!
need a bushhog for that right there
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.
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... :-)
T Rose great to hear! Take care of her and she'll run for years and years
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
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.
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.
Mow in one direction reversing back over the cut area, then advance one step over. This keeps all clippings away from the new cut a relieves the strain on the mower.
Bro imagine the amount of ticks and flez on you after that
To my surprise I didn't have any... Your comment reminds me of a Brad Paisley song, ticks... 🤣😉🤣

I had to laugh when you made your yahoo. You sounded like my wife when she gets happy like you did. Looks like you have a big yard to mow. Anyway you have a good day Young lady. Thank You for Sharing.
Amazing video! I love john deers I have my own lawn mower and I cut tall grass yesterday.
I love America. Love your enthusiasm and my gosh, you look hot.
Love the video and that’s a splendid job. You go girl.
t rose you made it sound like sex
Nothing runs like a deer.
Oh that's so true, I have heard that for years and never really got it... Now, I totally get it!
Pete Jones nothing runs like a Deer. With a KUBOTA chasing it...
Or smells like a John.
It actually smelled quite lovely...
Pete Jones nothing runs like a deere with a Massey up its rear
Oh yeah and were gloves when changing your blades wait for hot lawnmower or riding lawnmower parts to cool down first
Great suggestion, wouldn't want to burn my tiny little fingers!
Time to take your meds is it?
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.
lift the shield deflector if that grass is wet honey.. be easier to cut..
I'm still learning, is that why I see people use a bungie cord and lift it up?
sure is
T Rose
Yup
We need to see more of you in videos... 7:18 was my favorite!
Sell the tractor and buy some goats
I use a weed eater for super tall stuff before I mow it. It is easier on the mower, but it's hard work.
Sounds like me when I get on my mower. Way to go
Nothing runs like a Deere on that John Deere mower tractor 🚜 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
she is too hype about this...
Well of course I was, I moved into an awesome place but the grass needed some help, I was super excited to try out my new toy and it was fun too!
Woohoo!
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
Great to see a real video being made to see how a mower works in real life thanks for sharing
Thank you!
@@tobirose hhe
Ok... I've never seen anyone so happy to mow. Nice job. Also fun to see you cat does the same as mine.
I always went over high grass with the cutting deck as high as possible, in the lowest gear and with high power.
Hello from Australia. Nice fun video. Good on you sister. Oh yeah and that fuel doovalacky is sweet as! 👍
I like the thought that your having a blast.
The only problem i have had with mine is flat tires. I got a puncture in one front tire fifteens minutes after it was delivered . put an inner tube in it and ok .TWO DAYS LATER GOT A FLAT IN THE OTHER FRONT TIRE SAME THING. I checked the thickness of the tires between the lugs and it was less than an eighth of an inch . You would think that for an expensive mower they would upgrade the cheap Chinese tires. Also the deck does not raise high enough for my liking. Okay for a city lawn but no good for out in the country.
I have a John Deere 21 peak hp. I have no problem with wet grass like this. But, why is the video cut up, you bog out and cut the video up? Also, you cut the grass the wrong direction. Don't mow over what you already mowed
The only good thing on these new models is the engine. The decks and wheels are horrible. I like the older models better. deck and tires were more robust.
I will add a link to my mowing adventure... th-cam.com/video/3h5fc803lzY/w-d-xo.html You put out a video and you can get more suggested... it seems to be a category of videos... I tend to do my first cut of the season with no bagger on my mower... the plugging of the pipe to the bag gets crazy... anyway... I have a composting area near my garden for grass clippings and leaves, hedge trimmings and so on. so after the grass gets cut, and dries some, dust mask gear and a bagger to collect with a cart to empty the bagger into. more stuff you can add to your mower over time... my mower is about a decade old and still going. You do give me an idea of where I might go for my next mower... Sears has not been looking very healthy as a store, my mower might outlast the stores... the John Deere dealers seem to hang in there rather well... I did make my first cut about as slow as I could go, and I tend just shave half a deck width off with each pass after the first when the grass is high and thick.
I did add a home made tongue extension to my bagging cart to reach under the bagger to make bag emptying a bit easier... but just parking a cart with high sides close to a spot where the bag ends to fill up works well too.
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.
Ok, I will do that, thank you! 😃
@@tobirose h÷
Well i couldnt resist scrolling through the comments just to see the bad ones for my own intertainment. I got a laugh out of the whole thing.
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.
Ut oh, ok I'll keep that in mind... I was stopping a lot and pulling grass out when it sounded like it needed help... Thank God it's got a 400 hour bumper to bumper warranty that covers everything but the tires!
I actually even vacuum my lawn tractor. LOL
That thing costs more then my parents 3 cars put together :/
My rover 547/38 cost $3300.00 well worth it
“Definitely got my Cherry popped today”!😂😂😂
Great video! Your John Deere is like a bush hog.
I tried to make it so!
If ur a real landscaper you would go over the same area you mowed to get an even cut. Because it left some grass sticking up all over which looks crappy to my eyes
I'm not a "real landscaper" just a woman with a situation of a whole lot of grass trying to learn how to make it pretty again... I'm learning...
If your not going to use a weed eater to trim it down a bit before mowing at least walk around with a good rake and check for rocks or anything else the blade might hit not only is it dangerous but it can mess up your mower pretty bad.
I agreed to mow a property for a guy that was a little overgrown, but not like what you have there. My mower found a steel cable sticking out of the ground and then a piece of rebar.
Awe maaaaaan, that happened to me too once! My neighbor heard the commotion from my place when my John Deere blades found an old rusty steel curly cable! I am so thankful for friendly neighbors! My awesome neighbor helped me get it all unstuck and then gave me a lesson on you must walk the field first to find unfriendly items to a mower and remove those first, then mow!
Finally someone cutting real grass!! Nice rack btw
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 🤗
Personally I thought a diesel would do better but whatever floats your boat.
There is a break in period when you buy a new mower. Engine should run at a high RPM,well oiled so the rings seat to the cylinder wall correctly. The Cam ,push rods and valves too,must seat into their positions.This is very important for a long life of the engine. It is so important they give you paper showing how it is best to go thru the procedure.
And what do you do??? LMAO Go cut 4ft grass for 6 hours while the engine is bogging down and every moving part on the mower is straining to keep up. There were a few times the engine almost stalled.
When a engine is worked so hard it almost stops,,the forces to do this are unbelievable!! Its not being oiled properly and the strain on the rods are near breaking point!!
But Yah! Oh the joy of what you have done!! Yippie!!
The engine will have a early life because of this. You would have been better off ,,babying the mower for at least the break in period,,,and then running it hard the rest of its life!! It would last longer.
The first sign of engine failure will be small amount white smoke,,at start up and then occasionally while running.
See you at the JD dealer. Your warrantee will cover it!!!
Unless they see this video!! lol
I see we have a karen
good video I understand how happy you are when I got mine I could get off of it
Wooooo Hooooo! Someone "gets it"!!!! Thank you!
You should throw the discharge from the mower out to where you have already mowed. Then the mower will cut better. Also slow down so the mower has time to cut the tall grass. It will also be easier on the mower.
Enjoyed the video. You have a nice place and land.
Why did you let it get so high?
Just flash a boob at the neighbor and he will bring his bush hog.
I cut high grass with mine once and it killed the deck. Junk
Hey Rose I have a John deer x 380 I mowed my field with it and it cut it like nothing
Let's abuse it and wonder why something fails
I have the same one, and I love it!
You’re going to ruin that lawnmower you need a bush hog.
I’d have just put a few goats in there myself
I have seen commercial mowers that dont cut as well as that thing.
Grass looks bad.....too tall...just laying it over
This is why women shouldn't be allowed to own a lawnmower.
The video should be called How to fuck up a new mower
hey nice job on the video but if the grass is that tall first put the deck up all the way then cut it the way u want it but ya good job
by the way nice beast
So you cut the grass ... Then put animals that eat grass in it ?
That height of grass tends to tear up the Mowing Deck Blade Spindles (namely the bearings).................Make sure you keep the Spindles well greased.
I have sharpened the blades and been greasing the spindles...
Good job Love...
8:16 she
Hammered that grass
Hahahahahaha, YES! Yes, I sure did! Twas fun!!!
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.
You should put the blades to 2 1/2 that is like perfect
Pause at 7:18.
You're welcome.
Amazing job and how many acres would you say you did? And yes you could have done it other ways but don't listen to other people saying you should have done it that little mower held up like a champ and like you said it was only a one time deal so nothing to worry but I had to subscribe you don't an amazing job
Ah thank you, thank you, I thought my little mower held up like a champ too! She was put to the test that day and is still running terrific! :-) I did about 3 acres...
Wouldn't want to do that very often of course they are not designed for that much grass. Pretty tough work for a small tractor but the damn thing handled it pretty well.
True, true, true, I don't plan on doing that again! Now that I have one I can keep up on it forever now! I actually can't wait to mow now, it's weird, I think I need to be studied! LOL
Nice mower, I've got a x380 and like it. However I would have bit the bullet and had a bush hog come in for that first cut. Never know what's laying under all that grass.
Ya, I should have done the whole property like that... I did have the front and back yard done with a brush hog, but I ran out of money to have them to the rest so that's kinda why I did it myself on the other half of the property... Winning the lottery would be nice, but this will have to due for now... :-)
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.)
You have the best neighbor EVER! Free is a super great price, enjoy your new toy and don't forget to do your maintenance on it and I hear rumors it will last for years and years! Ps... Thank you for your sweet comment... :-)
Rose, you sound like a lot of fun. Cheers!
Imagine using the ole push mower 😂😂 and this was uploaded on my birthday lol
Pull the deck up one notch.my god
I do believe yours is the first x350 I've seen in grass that tall. there are several on the tube showing the x700s, x900s, 1023, 1025, and bigger tractors. remember to do your maintenance, that Deer will run forever.
George Smith Aye yeah i have an X750 that would cut what she did like it was nothin. No bogging out or anything. Plus it would do it in half the time it took her to do it 6 and half hrs for a field no bigger than that is a bit much.
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!
George Smith Thats the 1 thing i like about Deere mowers they are definately tuff as nails. My 1st was a X350 i worked the wheels off that thing.
Good job
Thank you!
uhhhh, why are u wearing a swimsuit? also why are you saying badass and waving your fingers like your drunk? please dont kill anything with that-
Why am I wearing a swimsuit? Because it is usually HOT when I mow, so why not get a tan while mowing for hours! Bad Ass is just one of my daily words... I think the only thing I killed that day was some mice and maybe a snake? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm Italian, we talk with our hands a lot... It's a "thing"... 🤙🏼
Hopefully you checked out the deep grass before you started mowing it ,would hate to see the JD get damaged from rocks etc😆...
Yep, I walked it to check for sticks, rocks and anything else weird!
That grass is NOT 4-5 feet high. Maybe two feet or so. Grass usually goes to seed at two feet and won't grow much after that.
Alec Cuddeback I’m 5 foot and some was as tall as me and some taller... Had to be there... It WAS lol... 🤪
Wow , a cat doing what it should be doing , sweet Toyota pickup by the way you should sell it .
What?
Mow it again we want to see you
That is a nice machine. That was some crazy long grass. Looks nice getting it back to a reasonable length.
Thank you! It was fun and I'm so happy to only have to do it like that one time! Whew!
I think your tractor's sexy
thanks! I'm going thru the same problem no way can I weed wack all that first ^&*# where did you get that pump thing? what is it called
I got it on amazon! Here's a link and what it's called... :-)

Should have mounted the camera on the fence.
Thank you for the video. Good job 👍
Dog was just shaking his head
raise it up all the way...then mow it again? ... a few more times...
That's what I did... :-)
I gurruntee you one thang you'll never have that much fun with your clothes on again
Oh but I have, over and over again! :-)
I can't wait for adult hood
Oh dear, I used to say that all the time with I was little, and now that I am old, I wish I could go back to being like 12 years old!!!
John Deere loves selling pto clutches, deck belts, and blades. Good idea to mow more than once a season.
