Great point. What you get at Lowes is not the same as what you get from your local JD farm & tractor dealer.

That's what I was planning to do Glenn. The local dealer (.5 mile) is a John Deere and Simplicity dealer.

Recommend the X7xx series. Pricey but you can pass it onto your kids unlike the craftsman et al

Default Ordered My New Lawn Tractor

On Friday I stopped to talk to the guys at the local Lawn Tractor shop. And after hearing about the delays last year in getting parts to even build the tractors, I went ahead and ordered the John Deere X350 with the 42" deck. He said as they come in he would just start at the top of the list and go down from there.

Interesting. Wonder how many chips a modern lawn tractor might have.
Could be the engine. Like my 1980 model John Deere, the X350 has a Kawasaki engine. Absolutely bullet-proof.

We have 2.25 acres of very rough terrain. Lots of rocks. Been using a Cub Cadet XT1 for the last 6 years. Other than sharpening blades and fixing flat tires (big thorns), it has been trouble free.
