Which model Deere for my yard?

11 years ago

My yard is one giant hill. 1.2 acres. I have about 20 or so trees. I want a 48 inch mower deck, bagger and want to pull a cart. I won't get a big box unit. I'll be going to the Deere dealer or buying off of Craigs List. I want to keep the cost down, but don't want to under buy. Right now, I plan to be a snow bird and leave here (NW Arkansas) before any snow. However, if I stay, I might need a snow plow for light snow on a 300 foot blacktop driveway. Which model do y'all recommend?

An all wheel steer in the x series would be nice for the trees. They turn like butter. How heavy of a model really depends on how hard you wish to work that transaxle.

Yup, tomplum, the all wheel steer would be great. However, I'm not a rich man. I'm retired and have a fixed income. We just bought this house and we are using proceeds from our previous house to do quite a bit. I was hoping to keep the cost of a garden tractor below about $3500. What do you think of an X320, if I can get them down in price some? Because of the hills, I was thinking I would have to have the K58 transaxle.
