I just purchased a 500 hour GX355 with the Yanmar V twin motor. I am looking for a blade and blower for it and asked the JD dealer what I should look for. They indicated that the attachments for the X500 would be what they would sell to me new. Some of the X500 stuff looks to use a quick attach type front bracket and a belt driven device. Shouldn't I need the same attachments as the GX345? The GX345 use belly frame and belt blowers, and belly frame snowplows. The dealer wanted to sell me either a 44" or 47" two stage belt driven blower for a X500 and they would include the brackets needed to mount it on my tractor. Can I use both GX345 and X500 attachments? Are they very different? Is one better than another? Any help I might get from the forum would be greatly appreciated. I prefer a blower, but will probably want a blade as well. Bill
ps- This tractor seems to be so rare that I can hardly find any information about it, and the guys at the dealer have never even seen one! Internet searches for the GX355 are a waste of time.
