Well, I thought it was worth it, but after reading what a piece of crap my LA is, I guess not. Damn, and to think that the past 5 years I thought that it was looking and working great!. Oh, but wait, I got mine from the Deere dealer and not the box store, so I guess that's the difference.:laughing:
And the next time I buy a Cuisinart CPT-140 toaster, I will not buy it from Wal-Mart for 30 bucks, but I will head to Macy's and pay 50 bucks instead, because it will be build better. :confused2:
Yeah, I think something got confused somewhere. Same models are the same every were, but I decided the right tractor for me was a X-324 select series, which is a heavier duty model that the BB stores do not sell. Yeah, it was more expensive, but it handles all the heavier duty things I do with it, like plow snow off my U shaped drive in the middle of the Chicago winter. I had a LX-178 model that did not do things as well, but it was also not as expensive. I bought it at a Deere dealer. It would have worked the same if I bought it at Home Depot. If I only mowed grass once a week and lived where snow is only seen on Christmas cards, a BB Deere would be fine. The point that people are missing is that the Deere dealers sell the heavier duty models that may be the tool that is needed for the job. If all you need is a BB Deere, then they are still fine machines.
