My wife wants to be able to mow the lawn when I don't have time to do it.
I don't want her trying to use what I currently use to mow the lawn - it has too many idiosyncracies (and is old and is missing the safety features that modern equipment has).
What makes more sense:
1) buy a mower deck for my GC2310
OR
2) buy a lawn tractor
WRT option 1)
- one less tractor to maintain and to store
- spend time putting on/taking off the mower deck when I want to use the tractor where I would worry about damaging the mower deck
- costs more money for a new mower deck (I can't find one used) than for a used lawn tractor
WRT option 2)
- costs less money than option 1
- don't have to fuss with putting on/taking off the mower deck from my GC2310
- one more tractor to maintain and to store
