Comparison John Deere 345 or Troy Bilt

[thetripled]

Ok, seems like a no brainer. But, there is the twist.

I just acquired 2 acres and 2 54" lawn tractors. I can only keep one so which one do I go with? Which should have fewer problems down the line

1). John Deere 345 with 1700 hours
2). Troy Bilt with 400 hours

Not sure about he year model but believe them to be relative to the hours.

I have a 345 and a GX345. Both mow over 5 acres a week, and not easy acres either. Both have been bullet proof.

The Deere is becoming a legend for durability. Keep it.

I've owned a JD 345 since 1999 and agree with the above posts... keep the John Deere!
