I am not real big on John Deeres. Green paint must be expensive not to
mention the parts. I had a older 212 and gave it to my son and told him
to treat it nice because the parts will get you. There is nothing wrong
with a MTD for the price and you can get parts anywhere because they
make most of them anyway. Sears is a MTD in grey paint and + price. I
would go with a ZTR.
