John Deere X300 - 42” deck, 18.5hp Kawasaki, Tuff Torq K46 hydro
Husqvarna YTH24V42LS – 42” deck, 24hp Kawasaki, Tuff Torq (not sure which one) hydro
I cut about 1.5 acres of pretty flat yard (one ditch), once a week for the spring, summer and fall, side discharge everything. I pull a 4x8 trailer around the yard for planting and clean up (no heavy hauling). No winter use.
John Deere -
Plus: service, parts, 4yr warranty.
Minus: price ($500 more).
Husqvarna –
Plus: price ($500 less), more HP, 3yr warranty.
Minus – parts availability (dealer doesn’t stock many parts, but can get them in a few days), don’t know much about the brand (Implement dealer just started selling them).
I’m looking for opinions on either of these two lawn tractors. I need to decide by Thursday and I really haven’t had time to research, so I turned to the most knowledgeable folks I know. If anyone has some tribal knowledge of either one of these models I’d appreciate any advice and or opinions. Sorry for the short notice!
Thanks!
