[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2769400, member: 7629"] sorry but your JD D105 is a good quality but still a low end riding mower with a 17.5hp BS engine .. weight 445 lb with belt-driven mechanical CVT transmission. no comparison to commercial grade mowers like Case/Ingersoll or JD with hydrostatic drives, kohler/onan engines and weight 650lb to 950lb range. high end JD mowers like 455 will have 22hp 3 cylinder Yamar diesel engine, hydrostatic and weight 950lb ... much rather spend say $1,500 for a used Case/Ingersoll or Ford NewHolland with low hours/excellent condition vs same $$ for a new low end mower. but it's not for everyone .. especially if one is not mechanically inclined. some folks would be better off starting off with a new machine. most commercial grade mowers if kept in good condition will hold their values for a long time.
