I am new to the John Deere world and I am looking to replace my Craftsman LT1000. I plan on looking at a 330 and a 420 this weekend. Both appear to have normal wear and the 330 has 727 hours (unsure of hours on the 420). The 330 comes with a power flow bagger and the 420 has a plow with chains. However, I have a plow truck so moving snow is not necessary. Both have a mower deck. Each are priced around $2000 and I cannot spend over $2000.
I am a big fan of anything diesel and I need a bagger so I am leading towards the 330. However, from what I have read, the 420 is a much more capable machine.
What are the chances of me finding a 332 or a 430 in my price range? Additionally, how much should I plan on spending on a bagger should I need to purchase one separately?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim
