have a question. My neighbor just purchased a used x320 with a little over 100hours on it. He got it, because I have a x320 that I purchased 3 years ago and have never had any issue and kept telling him how much I really liked it. He had a old cub cadet that finally died and ran across the used x320 and picked it up. We both have about a 1.5-2 acre lot, and I have mowed with his and it is noticable to me that his does not run as fast as mine or pull up slopes like mine. He has noticed it as well because he used mine to test before he bought one. Well we have parked them side by side, checkd his belts,looks at mine, everything appears to be the same.
His mows and runs great, but is slower. Well I guess you can say we may not have enough to do, but took my gps, on his wide open about 4.8mph, mine around 5.3-5.5 owner manuan says top speed 5.8mph I think.
Now the wired thing is his does go faster in reverse. Well I remember seeing a post on here once where someone described how to adjust some linkage so that will go faster in forward which will make it go slower in reverse. We checked the drive belt, his does look a little more worn than mine, but basically seem to be same tightness etc.
Any ideas? His mower runs and mows great. We put new plugs and fuel filter in his and changed oil, dont think it is anything wrong with his tranny because it does pull and mow great, but we now just curious. His has about 115 hours on it, mine has 80, maybe just more wear difference from 80 to 115, but any idea, thanks.
One thing I have always done is use seafoam in my gas tank. I actually ran out of gas once and then when i filled tank back up, it surged up and down and did not seem to have as much power, put some seafoam in and after a few minutes that cleared up. Put some seafoam in his, but still can notice the difference in speed. Engine speed seems the same, just moving speed. We greased everything, hoping some of the knowledgeable folks on here may have an idea. oh almost forgot, tire pressue on his is what owner manual says.
thanks
