I own a CX-15..... Deere’s most expensive batwing & heaviest they ever made.... when all the seals to the gear boxes leaked - I made new seals.... all the stuff inside gearbox stamped “MADE IN CHINA”. Scratched my head on what I owned & why they outsource heavy duty farm items so often. I am reasonably hard on things but no way can the deere keep up with the rhino’s. Just not close. On my deere batwing- I’ve replaced: all seals, 3 pto shafts, hubs & bearings, the whole tongue has broke, hitch, on and on. The rhinos I’ve run..... I literally have replaced nothing. Changed gear oil is all. They are just a far heavier & well built machine. If u want quality & product that lasts- rhino, bush hog, Shulte, etc imo hands down. If u cutting clover & not hard on things - the tractor supply mowers will clearly get the job done. & ya- we have a lil Mx-7 that’s ok- it’s on second gear box but does get job done. Just not like rhinos. & last 2 cents.... last time I got quotes on rhino & deere, etc - rhino was not more expensive- last I recall- slightly less $. Green paint with outsourced components was pretty expensive. I bet or guess those 709’s or older ones were before they outsourced stuff to China or all the other places they outsource products and paint it green.I heard the JD gear boxes are suspect on some.
