"JD X500 multi-terrain tractor- 25H.P.-Differential lock-wet disk brakes" I'm itching for some green, maybe so I can talk about them from first hand experience, maybe because some have hydraulic remotes, differential rears, disk brakes and REAL cabs! It's certainly not because of the green! Much prefer red and orange! So here's a picture of a vertical shaft, which for years was a prominent "No!" in my check list for what's a good tractor, but now that my WH 264H has changed my mind, why wouldn't the JD X500 be a good choice? Not sure what "multi-terrain" means... Didn't see anything about PS but maybe it does. (Further review suggests no PS!) I'm not looking to buy this unit. No hitch of any kind on this unit and I don't need another mower, but I'm putting more focus on the fact that it's a vertical shaft and thinking "So!" I'm not asking about the X500 specifically, just that maybe I should be less prejudiced against vertical shafts. Anyone with first hand experience? Any reason why a vertical shaft can't be used in a durable GT? And by the way, why are vertical shaft engines cheaper!
