Congrats on your new purchase.:MTF_wel: and :wwp:
Hello all... ! New, proud JD Owner...!
I've been following this forum for a while, as I did a lot of homework before buying my first tractor. You guys are very helpful.
I have an 1/2 ac yard, pretty leveled, few obstacles, so it screams "entry level lawn tractor". Looked at 42" Craftsman YT3000, Cub 1042 and JD 105/110.
I am pleased to announce that I just test rode a trade-in JD D105 (the guy had 2 acres and traded in for an X300) and loved it. Only 4 weeks, 12 hrs used, from a reputable JD dealer 5 miles from where I live. A decent discount plus free mulching kit. Loved the dealer rep, as he sent me mowing their own open field so I could fully test it out. With all respect, not the same level of service one gets at a box store.
Having it delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to mow. I'll post an update soon.

First of all, thanks for the kind words. I realize that, in the John Deere World, I am a simple, poor owner of a D105...Some of you guys live the dream with the big machines. I'm just glad to belong...
With that being said, wow. I love my JD! Started right up, great cut, I am a FAN! See pic below, my new ride.. can wait to mow again!
Will keep you all posted...

I know what you mean. I don't have the biggest JD either but I love this thing. I've owned Craftsmen my whole life. I just didn't get the whole JD thing until I used my brother's old D160. It was just a 16HP Kohler with a 42" deck. Long story short, it wasn't running so he asked me to fix it. Once I got it running, I had to test it out on my yard. I just found myself maintaining a constant smile the entire time while mowing. That was like 2 years ago. I just got my own this season.
I'm still smiling.
Hokie congrats and hope the new machine serves you well for years to come ! :trink40:.
