I'm looking to cut grass. That's about it.
About 1 acre around the house, up and down the driveway, around the barn, road, etc. Generally in long strips. The ground is flat.
I don't need this machine to do anything except cut grass. Everything else, the 4320 will do.
So, what are the downsides to a Home Depot- bought JD machine? I here they aren't 'real' Deeres. My JD dealer has a 190C for $2700. Is that a good deal? Good machine? Some people curse Craftsman tractors. Why? Should I get an inexpensive zero turn? Is resale value a factor with this type of equipment?
Oh, I want to spend as little $ as possible.
I'm looking for advice, from the very beginning. I want to forget what I know [or think I know] and get the board's opinion. Please educate me! Thanks.
