It well be out of your price range but let's face it quality costs. In 1968 my father bought a new 8 hp JD 110 lawn/garden tractor with a 38" deck for $900, he used it for 25 years then sold it. In todays dollars that $900 would be $6,600, which makes a JD 590 with a 25hp engine and 48" deck seem like a bargain at $7,700.
Yes it does. I should get out more.
