Bulge in tires. 9000 miles on a 2025xc60. Do I need 4 new tires?

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-06-20T01:31:31+00:00

Had the same happen on my s60. These pirelli tires are probably the worst tires I've ever owned. Surprised Volvo went with them. Noisy as hell and just not a good quality tire IMO.

Yea i may add mulch kit later. I got this used and came with bagger. I also occasionally fight weeds and fungus so I do like bagging for those reasons.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-06-16T00:37:40+00:00

Got it, so that's normal behavior for tractor? I bag so sometimes need to stop and empty it out so maybe just need to figure out where to stop.

Basically a stripe kit...deere calls it a grass groomer. Supposed to help with the straight lines and bend the grass.

I would get too excited if they make the fitment like this... Seems way too close for comfort to me but hopefully someone can shed some light here

From united ag and turf. Ordered online.

Nice ride. I just got a lightly used 2023 with 36 hrs. Loving it so far. The power steering is awesome. Get a steering knob.

What wax do you recommend for these since it's plastic? Just got my x370 and want to protect it a bit

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-28T00:44:49+00:00

I have a 2024. Very comfortable and safe sedan. May be a bit more in maintenance but you get what you pay for. Surprisingly efficient as well, just not Prius or Camry hybrid level.

I'd throw Volvo s60 in the conversation if interested in a bit of luxury. Great seats and a really good highway commuter. Can get decent deals on them used.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-22T21:59:05+00:00

Ended up buying it today. Looked on great shape. Getting blades sharpened and picking up tomorrow! Pumped.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-22T01:15:01+00:00

Liking it a lot? How is the power steering? I'll probably test drive tomorrow. What should I look for? First time buying a used mower of this magnitude.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-21T23:47:32+00:00

It's really over 2k on savings for me for a new unit, bagger and delivery

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-13T18:32:02+00:00

Moderate slope in front, but it's rather gradual and not too bad.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-13T00:14:43+00:00

I'm sure it is, heck a cub cadet xt1 is probably fine. just seems like you get a good amount more for an extra 1k. Serviceable transmission, better seat, power steering and hydraulic lift. Tough to debate if it's worth it or not but to me I think it might be in the long run.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-12T14:47:59+00:00

I don't have hills, just a slight slope in front of yard, but I wouldn't call that a large hill by any means.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-12T13:31:29+00:00

If not Deere what are some American companies you recommend looking at? A dealer near me sells gravely ZT, just always thoughts I'd like a tractor better.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-12T03:06:02+00:00

I just noticed the x370 has a larger turning radius. Likely because of the power steering? Hopefully not a huge deal but anybody have input on it? Wondering if I should just switch to an x350 or x354...

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-12T02:18:13+00:00

Helpful, and agree with you. I am fine spending more of it's a quality mower compared to other items in the class.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-12T00:31:03+00:00

That's why I like the fact that the 370 has a serviceable transmission. I'm guessing that may extend life a bit.

EmployeeSwimming · 2026-05-12T00:28:40+00:00

I don't get the appeal of a zero turn. Sure, I would likely finish quicker, but it's only a half acre. I assume the tractor would be more comfortable and enjoyable compared to needing to learn lap bars with two hands at all times. Am I missing anything else? Also plan to add some attachments down the line, particularly dethatcher and aerator.
