Hi guys,
I have sort of a dilemma. My 10 year old Scott's lawn tractor blew up a couple of months ago, before we moved to TN. I sold the carcass for $50, so I wouldn't have to move it. We now live on 3 ac in a rental house while our house on our 70 acres is being built. I want a decent lawn tractor that will last at least 10 years. I'm going to buy a 40-50 horse CUT later this summer, but I need a good lawn tractor now. I've decided on the John Deere, as it's got the best ratings on Consumer Reports, and from what I gather in posts on this website. The local JD dealer has a used GT235 for $3600. It's in great shape with only 65 hours on it. The other I was considering is the x304 with 42" cut, with a utility cart thrown in for $3400. The x304 has a 2 year warranty, while he GT235 has none. My dilemma is which to buy. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
