LOOKING FOR ADVICE/GUIDANCE ON NEXT GARDEN TRACTOR PURCHASE. I'M LOOKING AT AN '06 CC GT2554, '95 JD425 W/379 HRS, AND A '96 JD345 W/263 HRS. I MOW 3+ ACRES AND WILL BE PULLING A 60" SWISHER DECK. APPROX 1+ ACRE IS SLOPED/HILL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE 345'S HYDROTRANNY GIVING ME PROBLEMS YEARS DOWN THE LINE. THE JD425 HAS THE SHAFT TRANNY BUT HAS SOME TIME ON IT. THE CC GT2554 IS ALSO SHAFT DRIVE, BUT I'M VERY UNFAMILIAR WITH CC. MY CURRENT TRACTOR IS A 30 YEAR OLD JD300, SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH JD'S REPUTATION, EXPENSIVE AS IT IS. THE CC IS 4000.00, THE 345 IS 4200.00, THE 425 IS 4600.00
THANKS
