All I want to do is mow with either tractor. Why is the John Deere so high outside of the fact this comparison is oranges to green apples? ( just a small joke) I'm open and honest in asking this strange question. Wife says, I can have either unit but must live with the decision over a five year straight line deappreciation. It will mow a mostly flat 5.5 acre estate. Convince me to go green ( I own six orange things from a T1670 up to a M9540) This may cause a fight in the barn with the current herd. Help me make the right decision both financially and logically ( as Spock would say). Oops wrong show. Both my local Dealers are shaking their heads. Come on guys help me out. Ob1...

I could not justify the cost for open flat ground. Just about any mower with large tires could be suitable for that. My slopes and trees justified the X749.
So, since a cost for the application may not be justified, perhaps just a picture can make up for it...
