It's time to add another riding mower and really want more of a lawn and garden tractor but my funds can not swing a new one. My worn out Craftsman finally gave it up (rod out the side of the block). I recently picked up a Dynamark 18 42 L & G tractor and it is pretty well built compared to the Craftsman (MTD). But...the deck on this is in pretty bad shape, rusted out in areas, etc...not worth rebuilding.
So over the summer I am going to start looking around at used Deeres. I want something that has a decent size frame. I will mostly be mowing with it but some light utility work too. As far as the vast models out there, what should I be looking for, things to keep in mind, etc? I am mechanically inclined so minor to mid level repairs are not a problem. What is everyone's opinions on various Deere models that are readily available?
Thanks, Tony
