I'm looking to buy a used garden tractor, it will be used almost completely for mowing, however it will also occasionally pull a sweeper and heavy aerator (Bluebird TA12 48") and lawn roller.
I have a D130 I bought just for mowing - it can't even do that. I have a White manual transmission I've been using to aerate and lawn sweep, but the engine just failed.
My research has indicated the K71 in the GT235/245 would be a wise investment. The used ones I am seeing have 400-500 hours on them. Would this be a bad purchase? They seem to go for $2000-3000. I'd like to get 1-2 solid seasons out of it before I upgrade to a diesel 1-series or 7-series.
