I've been running an x380 for the last 5 years.
You will need to change the fuel filter every year. I had surging and stalling due to the original clogging (without visible junk in the bowl) a month into my second year.
Oil changes are messy. You'll want cardboard, etc, to keep oil off the undercarriage and floor.
The pulley areas fill up with grass clippings FAST. An air compressor works great after mowing.
Be sure to level the deck when you get the mower. The screws are hard to find thru the access holes.
The deck will clog up, and the hose hookup just makes things worse. I back onto a ramp, and clean out with a hoe.
My steering has a lot of slop. Can't see an easy way to fix it.
The reverse pedal is hard to modulate when slowing down, resulting in a quick lock up of the tires, and a sudden stop.
The mower is very quiet when cutting, and I get a perfectly even cut, with almost no visible cuttings sitting on the top of the grass, and I mulch. I just did my first cut, cut off 3" (!), and the lawn looks fantastic.
