How big of a yard do you want to mow??
What type of mower do you like?? Rider? Zero turn?
What price range do you want to stay in??
How new/low of hours do you want to keep under???
Meaning a better quality mower will be higher if they are the same age and have about the same hours of use. You can go a little older on the better models and keep the price about the same as the lower quality mower that are newer.
Some general knowledge:
The LA100 series offered at the box stores and JD dealers are NOT the HIGH quality mowers that share the same name. They are in the same class as Craftsman, Huskee, and etc. The only BETTER thing about the JD LA series would be parts are easier to get.
The next step up is the X300 series. This equal to the older LX series. This would be the medium quality residential mower or lawn mower. They have some attachments like a snow blade but they are really meant to just mow grass. The higher the number the bigger/more features. Example: X300 is the base mower few frills, an X360 has a larger motor and Bigger deck. Also JD new letter system tells you the warranty period. X300= 3 years warranty.
Then you have the X500 series. This is the start of the garden tractors. The X500 is real similar to the 265 or GT 275 of earlier series. Garden tractor frame manual lift and manual steering. The X540 would be like the 345, GX 345, and the JD 318. Power steering, hydrostatic drive, hydraulic lift, and many attachments.
The top of the line garden tractor style is the X700 series. This is JDs top quality garden tractors. These would be like the JD 400, 445, X485, ETC.
IF your just mowing a smaller yard that is pretty flat and do not want any major attachments,then the X300 series is where I would go.
IF you have a larger yard and have hills then I would go to the X500 series.
If you want a luxury mower that will last a life time and you can afford it, then I would go to the X700 series. I really like the X740s. You have a lot of features but none that will give much trouble down the road like I think all wheel steer machine might.
So let me know how I can help you out. With a little more information from you I can help you pick a model to watch for.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor."
