Topic

I've owned an X585 for about 1.5 years now. The biggest thing I DIDN'T like was the silly RIO switch that kept shutting the mower deck off when you backed up. I finally got mad and removed the little tab that activated it. Now I love the operator features.

I've had some problems with it overheating in the hot Virginia summer. I've checked with the dealer, and they think it's a thermostat problem. I ordered a new thermostat three weeks ago and still don't have the part.

It's an absolutely outstanding mower (I have the 62 inch deck). It will go through grass a foot high if you ask it to. I had a 20-year-old JD 420 before - about the same size, and the 585 will out-turn the 420 by a good foot. The maneuverability is excellent, even without differential braking, which the 585 does not have.

If I can cure the overheating, count me as a raving fan.
