I went to my local John Deere dealership yesterday and test drove two mowers. first one was a brand new x320 and it was much nicer than my LA145. the second one I tried out was a brand new z445. with a budget of 5 grand I'm torn on what one to buy. either one will work for what I want. I need a mower and that's all. nothing to pull, no ground engagement no plowing just mowing. I feel comfortable on the x320 but after getting used to the zero turn controls I can get the job done quicker. both have a 54 inch deck which is larger than the 48 on the LA145. they are both priced about the same. I do not have any steep hills on my property that will cause an issue. The other option is a used x500. it has around 600 hours on it but he said it runs and drives just fine. I wasn't able to see it due to being in the shop. I like the thought of the x500 because of the lockable rear diff but its also a used tractor. What are some pros and cons of the 320 and the z445? any help will be appreciated. thanks.
