Hagman,
I was the one posting about the slow LG sales that you cited. I should expand upon my comments slightly. In my area, not saying every area, sales of small lawn equipment in certainly down. Several dealers with whom I am friends say this. It is true for mowing: the ZTR's are taking over sales, but that said my dealer can still move X series machines, just not as quickly as last year. I think you can sell your X series tractor. I do not think you will likely get quite as much as you would like for it, but I could be wrong. A lot of it depends on how long you are willing to wait, or to what length you are willing to go to sell it. You might come out better if a dealer could sell it for you on commission, rather than trading, or if you could advertise it here or on another equipment site. I am NOT a fan of EBAY for this type sale. I think those folks that buy X series machines know what they want and will look until they find it, and that could be your machine. I think, though, to get close to what you want for it, you might have to be patient.
