Hiya,
I'm looking at either one for the 3/4 acre of lawn around the house. (Sloped so it would give a little hydro a good workout I think) The dealer will sell me the LT for $800. It has a rear bagger that I most likely take off as my "lawn" is more like a pasture than a lawn. (I was thinking about getting a RFM for the cab tractor but I really don't want to be driving a 5K Lb machine over the septic system) It's in generaly good condition, unknown hours, unknown year, hydro.
The x300 would be new and with a 42" deck for hopefully a little less than list.
I'm concerned that the LT may be close to end of service life as it's 11 years old at least and could be over 15 and I'm paying 1/3 the price of a new x300 that should have a 15-20 year life span ahead of it. Also, a 4 year warranty.
So, what's the wisdom of the brain trust here think? LT or x300?
