Trying to decide between a 2023 John Deere X380 23/48 or a 2022 Simplicity Broadmoor 23/48 tractor.
Both are new, the Simplicity is last years model. I'm leaning towards the JD as it has a Kawasaki engine
and the K58 Transaxle. The Simplicity has a B&S and a Tuff Torq K57 Transaxle. Then there is the matter
of price, the edge goes to the Simplicity at $5,199 and the John Deere going for $5,499.
If you're up in age or have any shoulder/hand issues, avoid the Broadmoor. Their silly little stub of a deck lever is brutal to use. If I can't get my lever extended, mower's getting sold or traded on a Deere X390 by next year.
