Hopefully I won't have to mow my lawn anymore! ;) Subscribe to How Farms Work ► bit.ly/XYVvDd Facebook ► on. YpS8oH How Farms Work Store ► bit.ly/HFWStore
This is a very sturdy and well built mower. I thought I wouldn't like the foot operated speed control but after one use czcams.com/users/postUgkxTZSPVwJFBv2hORqhQamtxi-tAe5K2EtC , I can't believe I ever had one without it. It drives like a car with an automatic transmission. Easy to adjust mowing speed according to grass depth/thickness. I have yet to get used to the long throw of the blade engagement lever but kind of get why it is that way. It allows you to hold mowing for short moments if you need. The engine seems very substantial and the frame has very little flex, both adding up to an impressive package. All my previous tractors were 18 to21 hp with 42in decks. This one is 23/46. I mow about 1.5 acres about every 5 days here in Alaska and that mowing time has been reduced by about 20%, partly due to the very tight turning radius. No loop arounds lol. Hour meter, cruise control, reverse mowing capability,deck cleanout and easy assembly all add up to a very well thought out tractor.
Thanks, my husband passed away in December and I'm heading out to the garage to start it up and mow for the first time. It was nice to watch you teach your wife. She did great! I can only hope my first time goes as well :)
Ryan, I think you want your lawn looking better than it ever does, when you are mowing it. Jamie improves the view, and gets it done. I wonder who will do the haying next year? My best to the lovely lady. It is a joy to see you both.
Awww... she's SO pretty! Talented too. Think she's a keeper! Main thing is a willingness to learn... We all gotta start somewhere! I started on lawn tractors, moved up to the Ford 8N Jubilee raking hay, then cutting hay with the sickle bar, and then shredding cotton stalks on the Ford 6600... Then Grandpa died and I ended up doing nearly everything within a year because Dad worked full time. Keep up the good work! OL J R :)
Let her practice on an old John Deere 200 series or a 60's-70's era Cub Cadet with gear drive. Much more like driving a tractor. You're spoiling her with that $12,000 X series machine lol
This is really cool! Just an idea if you have two lawn tractors you can do it at the same time and get it done in half the time! I also think that she is ready for a clutch!
Ryan, you can use a stick under the deck start switch, to keep it up, so the deck doesn't shut down when you back up. We bought one last year, May too, 738, 4 wheel drive one. I got half of a clothes pin, tide a plastic string around the think end, tide the other end around the steering column. Use the narrow end to stick it under the switch, in as far as the notch on the pin, so it can't slip out. We have a 345 too, same stick under the switch to hold it up.
Good plan, my wife does the cutting with her own kubota diesel tractor. I went through a set of blades early on, but it was worth it to never have to cut the grass again. ;-)
+Ryan Wegman Besides the blades it cost me both rear reflectors and both halves of the hood ( top and bottom ). But it was worth it. ( a spider scared her as she was cutting close to the grain auger )
I got a ys4500 craftsman i love it its easy to use and it's about 14 years old but still goes strong do it a few times and you will do it like it's nothing
I started driving a tractor and plowing be on at nine years old the first time I learned was drive a tractor was 5 that was a full-size tractor But she’s a quick learner
This is a garden tractor/the 5 lug bolt pattern. This thing was designed to do some work & pull a plow through the dirt & haul crap, sucks it’s a gas, you need a diesel man!
Man every time I watch tall grass get cut it makes me wanna mow lol. There's about 10 inches of snow on the ground right now... Wish I had a plow for my mower that would be nice.
I had to have brick behind me sitting on the seat because it would always turn off because I was so short and wouldn't have that weight thing tripped. I put a clothes peg under the pull tab for the mower so it would still go when I was reversing.
She is too preoccupied with her hair. She needs to put it in a pony tail and stop fixing it while she works. Long hair is also a Safety Hazard around machinery.
Two things......someone said she should tie back her hair, very true.....and earplugs. :-) The first time I mowed I didn't use them..2 hours straight... I couldn't hardly hear when I got done. She did an awesome job!
Jamie Procarione ok.....then have fun going def when your 40. These people are giving you legitimate advice and your taking a dump on them for it. Did you use any earplugs? No.....you didn't. Look I get that you "think" you know everything but the fact is if you did......you would have had the earplugs in. Maybe take the criticism for what it is instead of spiting your viewers for pointing out something that you obviously overlooked. Maybe a better reply would look like....."yeah I know I should but I didn't this time" Because then you at least acknowledge that you do see your own mistakes.
yea but the X730 is a really big one...on a farm like ours (we got maybe 5000 squaremetres we use a X155R( maybe 6500$) and its absolutly right for a farm like ours. i think they have more than 1 farm and its a good choice to buy a bigger one.
I like the Zero Turn mowers even more because they are easier to turn and does the job much quicker also. I can mow twice as much grass with it than this conventional lawn tractor which can't maneuver like the Zero Turns.
You did well--no yelling and she did better that most beginners. ''Happy Trails'' to ya !!

She did a better job than I did first time out. Very smart lady and very pretty. You are lucky. Thanks for the video.
Jamie Procarione hey Jamie what up tell your boyfriend to. Teach u how to drive the bob cat skid steer. How old are u Ryan
Linkoln Barringer yes
Thanks, my husband passed away in December and I'm heading out to the garage to start it up and mow for the first time. It was nice to watch you teach your wife. She did great! I can only hope my first time goes as well :)
Good luck !!! Mowing grass...
Bless her what a great job and not phased by you sticking the camera on her, a nice confident young lady.
That lady is a quick learner, her dexterity is awesome! Respect to you guys!
Finally someone who knows not to engage blades at full power! THANK YOU!!
He's smart!! While she's mowing he can sit on the porch and drink beer😁
I don't think your cats are sold on this idea!!!
they GTFO!
Crispy

Keep up the good work! OL J R :)
Cute to see the cat take off! Thanks for doing this video. I am teaching a young adult to mow and you gave me some ideas.
Jamie mowed well for her first time. She learns fast.
Let her practice on an old John Deere 200 series or a 60's-70's era Cub Cadet with gear drive. Much more like driving a tractor. You're spoiling her with that $12,000 X series machine lol
True.
She's a fast learner
This video taught me how to mow with a riding lawn mower. Thank you for this video. Big thumbs up
This is really cool! Just an idea if you have two lawn tractors you can do it at the same time and get it done in half the time! I also think that she is ready for a clutch!
You are a good teacher and she will pick it up real fast and be in a big tractor soon.
Hahaha Im pretty impressed she did really good! must be a good teacher!!

Bad ass lawn mower buddy !!

Hello from Australia🇦🇺. Good video. Cheers! 👍
Gorgeous, she can mow my lawns anytime 😜
Good plan, my wife does the cutting with her own kubota diesel tractor. I went through a set of blades early on, but it was worth it to never have to cut the grass again. ;-)
you might not have to mow lawn anymore, but I can guarantee you will have to replace the deck blades twice as often..
+Ryan Wegman Everyone has to start somewhere!
+Ryan Wegman Besides the blades it cost me both rear reflectors and both halves of the hood ( top and bottom ). But it was worth it. ( a spider scared her as she was cutting close to the grain auger )
+Douglas Laramie LOL
Possibly the whole lawn mower.... Hahaha kidding
+How Farms Work thats how i started on the lawnmower on a 1982 wheel horse sweeping the lawn
Good job, Jamie!
Life on a farm...fond memories.
Good start Ryan!!
She did really good.
Jamie Procarione Welcome.
Jamie Procarione wassup
You are a great teacher! best of the best! A john deere! Great video my dude! Practice makes perfect! 👍👍
He said he had a plan, he is going to turn her into a hard core farmer. :) Well, now she need to get paid! Don't forget that. :)
wow what a beautiful X730! we got a X155R and its a really good one, JD is building really good lawn mowers!:D
Great video Ryan.
That's a really cool mower!
I got a ys4500 craftsman i love it its easy to use and it's about 14 years old but still goes strong do it a few times and you will do it like it's nothing
Very nice mower! Has everything lol
Nice work! I learned a few things!
lol that cat went RUNNING when it heard that mower!
People need to teach anything this way they learn so much faster
I started driving a tractor and plowing be on at nine years old the first time I learned was drive a tractor was 5 that was a full-size tractor But she’s a quick learner
Great vid Ryan! Put her in the 4020 now! :)
Tried one of those today ( but it was a Viking MT6127 ) so much fun!🤣
This is a garden tractor/the 5 lug bolt pattern. This thing was designed to do some work & pull a plow through the dirt & haul crap, sucks it’s a gas, you need a diesel man!
I'll stick to my 83 john deer 318. I love it!!
shes learning fast. now she just has 2 learn how 2 do that on the go.
How Farms Work...you get a pretty girl and she doe's all the work
(yoda) strong with the force she is, but much to learn, she still has
Fast learner! That's how my Grandad taught me
Ryan, always run small engines, air cooled engines, at near full throttle. The fan running at full speed is what keeps the engine cool.
Thats not air cooled. The X730's are liquid cooled.
She's a fast learner!
That's a pretty fancy lawn mower, maybe I'm used to the smaller older ones
Tell her I said good job
Do not lose her Ryan. She Does you good
You might want to latch on to her, she's a keeper.
Great job.
That is precious
Good job Jamie
I hope this was not a date. lol good job driving! If you are available have lots of grass to practice on.
I'd love to live at a place like yours
Man every time I watch tall grass get cut it makes me wanna mow lol. There's about 10 inches of snow on the ground right now... Wish I had a plow for my mower that would be nice.
Good for her she’s an early learner
Nice job Jammie I'm 14 years old and I already have my own lawn mower
Carson Sobieski I'm 12 and I have my own lawn tractor.
@How Farms Work she did a pretty good job.
I'm 16 and bought my own mower... I can't believe that she's never driven something like this...
She got the detailed instructions how to run it
Jamie I have a tip keep the left side on the the edge of the lawn
ive had a few John deere tractors they are great,im getting a new one to mow with the s240,ha she did a good job learning,i thought,ha later.
I had to have brick behind me sitting on the seat because it would always turn off because I was so short and wouldn't have that weight thing tripped. I put a clothes peg under the pull tab for the mower so it would still go when I was reversing.
She is too preoccupied with her hair. She needs to put it in a pony tail and stop fixing it while she works. Long hair is also a Safety Hazard around machinery.
James Dayton and not using her hands instead of the sleve of her shirt
Nice mower. First class. I thought u bought one a auction
I started mowing on a 1930 era Ford 9N
soaringtractor ok, thanks for the correction
Two things......someone said she should tie back her hair, very true.....and earplugs. :-) The first time I mowed I didn't use them..2 hours straight... I couldn't hardly hear when I got done. She did an awesome job!
Jamie Procarione I can definitely understand that! ^_^
Jamie Procarione ok.....then have fun going def when your 40. These people are giving you legitimate advice and your taking a dump on them for it. Did you use any earplugs? No.....you didn't.

Because then you at least acknowledge that you do see your own mistakes.
good man, you taught her to mow your lawn...
Need to tell Jamie when she doing sumtin like dat she need to put her hair in a ponytail. Lmao
Nice video
GOOD JOB THANKS 😃 💘
she looked mortified lol bless,
Wouldn't want to total that mower. Brand new one starts at over 10K
Abm2014 Where tf do you live?? Lol because here they're half that new.
u go girl
That's one sweet tractor :) Out of curiosity I googled it.... YOWZA! I was thinking $5k or so. Try almost $11k! Too rich for my blood!
yea but the X730 is a really big one...on a farm like ours (we got maybe 5000 squaremetres we use a X155R( maybe 6500$) and its absolutly right for a farm like ours. i think they have more than 1 farm and its a good choice to buy a bigger one.
I like the Zero Turn mowers even more because they are easier to turn and does the job much quicker also. I can mow twice as much grass with it than this conventional lawn tractor which can't maneuver like the Zero Turns.
With lawn tractors you can take off the mower part and put attachments like snow blower and plow which are controlled by the mower controlls
Run full throttle on air cooled engines. That's how they keep cooler.
Get her on the 8235R
Jane!!....Stop this crazy thing!!!! When are we going to start chopping corn?
My first was a 110 .
In Britain, mowing lawns is something that you would expect a man to be doing, but women do it as well. Jamie did very well for a a beginner
😅😅that cat ran
I got my mower when I was 9 years old it is a 345 John Deere and I am 11 years old
6:27 Bet thats not the first time shes heard that.
Wow. My x530 won't even come close to stalling if you engage the blades at idle.
Good job because I stared to mower at 5
dude i love ur video there awsome could u also do a review on a new holland if u could that would be awesome
new Holland hahaha your funny mate
+john deere deere hahahhahahahhaya yeah right
"Now push in the forward button"
If I spoke to my wife this way she would be insulted
she be cutting hay next yr
Hey my papa rigged it so he has a string and when he goes around poles he pulse the string so the shoot comes up
you are addicted to John deers
what is the number 1 thing to no when you get to a new tractor
I have the 300 series
i was ten or eleven when i first learned to drive a mower
I was 4 years old
I know how to drive one, and i don't have one! lol
Now I do. A 2002 LT150.
