Been lurking here for a while and this is my first post so be gentle /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Background info: new lawn on former corn field, approximately 2 acres hydroseeded. Lawn is not coming in too well so it will need lots of seeding and fertilizing. I'm also looking to plow snow off of the 150' driveway this winter. So, I'm leaning toward a lawn/garden tractor for versatility rather than a ZTR. I'm considering the JD L130 and G110.
I have searched the archives and see very little discussion of the JD G110. Obvious differences over the L130 are a wider 54" 11 gauge deck compared to the 48" 12 gauge deck on the L130. Engine is 25hp Kohler vs the 23hp Kohler on the L130. The axles and transaxle on the G110 seem beefier.
List price for the G110 is $3700 and for the L130 $2600. Is it worth the extra $1100 for the G110? That's a 42% premium over the L130 /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Thanks in advance
