I have a 755 with a midmount 60" mower which I have had and enjoyed for years. However, there are some areas which are too narrow (my wife keeps planting stuff) or overhanging branches are too low, for my 755 to get into. I am thinking about getting a basic JD mower as an auxiliary around the house trimming and tight space mower, without breaking the bank. I see they have the D series and I am wondering if there is a baseline you should not go below. Thinking D130 at first blush, but would some of the less expensive models do just as well? And a narrower deck would probably be a plus, for the tight squeeze situations. Would not be getting real heavy duty use, hardest part is some sidehill at base of stone wall patio, without sliding away when it is wet. (I know, just go when it is dry. My fwd 755 has weight in the rear wheels and it can make a mess when it is too damp.) No steep uphill or downhill, my 755 takes care of those sections.
Has to be reliable.
Any thoughts?
