I went through the mower thing a little over a year ago. The tractors sold at the box stores are junk. I would not buy any of the little 100 series Deere mowers. I ended up getting an X340 to replace my old 214. Starts good, runs good, plenty of power, mows faster and turns better. I originally looked at the X500 series tractors but decided the extra cost wasn’t warranted since all I needed was something that would cut grass, so decided X300 series would work for me. I went with the X340 because it uses the larger transmission that the X520 has, but doesn't have the extra fluid capacity of the X520. I ended up getting my mower used, one year old, 78 hours on it for half the price of a new one. I figured at that rate it wasn't half wore out so I'd run with it.
As for the box store Deere mowers, neighbor has one, cuts 2 acres with it, 3 years old and it's about shot.
