| I'm getting ready to buy a new lawn tractor for our .6 acre lot in
| Charlotte, NC.
|
| Initially, I thought for sure I'd buy a new John Deere L110 at Home
Depot
| for $1799. It looks like a good unit, and they are advertising their
| mowing
| deck to be better for reducing the grass buildup underneath it. It's a
| 17.5
| HP mower.
|
| Then, I stopped at Sears to see what they had. The salesman there was
| touting their DLT 3000 tractors as better than the John Deere units.
|
| A couple of questions he
|
| 1. Any opinions on the quality of the Sears DLT 3000 tractors vs. the
| John
| Deere L110?
|
| 2. I see the DLT 3000 tractor comes in 3 "flavors"....(a) 25HP B&S
| V-Twin,
| (b) 20HP Kohler Pro, and (c) 16.5HP Honda V-Twin (which also has cruise
| control). Oddly enough, the smallest engine (Honda) costs more than the
| largest engine (B&S). Any opinions on which of the three is best?
|
| Thanks....
