With that JD, you have to turn off the mower and set the parking brake if you want to get off while it is running, which I am sure you already know by now.
I find that pressure switch under the seat, highly annoying on side hills, well these are designed for flat-landers, but if my 135 had wheel weights it would be fine. I have to lean and slide over a bit when on the side hills, to keep traction, but that switch is sensitive, so you have to put your hand under your behind to keep pressure on it, works fine that way.

I changed the way I cut that area to avoid this. I realize you have a 300 X series, but they operate similar to one another.
