old John Deere models (was getting good deals on riding lawn mowers)

One thing you should know is the John Deere 100 series is not up to par with the standard residential line that John Deere's quality is known for. It's basically a model designed to be sold at places like Home Depot to compete with the cheaper Cub Cadets and Toros being sold at places like Lowe's. This is not to say the 100 series won't last you for many years, because it is still a very nice mower that is far superior to off-brand riders in the $1000 range. The L110 is definitely worth the money. [snip] Thanks for the additional info. Now that you've brought it up, let me ask a couple of additional questions about John Deere models. My local John Deere store has a number of used mowers for sale, but since the model numbers are outdated, I can't find any info on them at all from the J.D. website. So I don't have any idea how good the models might be--whether they are very high quality mowers, or cheaper (but presumably still fairly good) ones like the 100 series. Here are some of the used ones they've got in my price range: unknown year, model 175, $1500 unknown year, model 185, $600 1999 LT155, $1690 unknown year, LT155, $1399 2000 LT155, $1800 1998 LT133, $700 unknown year, LX172, $1495 unknown year, LX173, $1500 1991 LX 176, $950 1997 LX176, $1625 unknown year, LX176, $1299 1998 LX178, $1600 unknown year, LX180, $550 2000 Sabre, $950 2000 Sabre 2046, $1350 If anyone can shed light on these particular Sabre, LT, or LX series models, I'd certainly appreciate it. I assume it'd be safer buying a used one from a dealer than from a classified ad. Taking a $1800 L110 as a baseline for comparison would any of these $1500-1800 used models be something I ought to give serious consideration to? Thanks again, John ***** John's newsgroup motto: "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." --Prov. 15:1 ***** |

Thanks again, John Not from personal experience - but my nephew (a mechanic who I partner with) laughs at his father-in-laws Sabre. |
