LT155 for $800 about right?

Hi,

I am taking delivery of a JD cab tractor next week. That being said, a 5000 Lb machine will be very tough on the little bit of lawn (3/4 acre) I have around the house. I was originally going to get an x300 or 320 however the dealer took an LT155 with a bag system in trade. It has a bit of surface rust around the seat and the hours are unknown but it looks in basically good shape. They will service it and let me have it for $800.

Good deal or not? the lawn around the house is all on a slope, I just want to make sure the hydro on it will be OK going up and down the slopes. (I used to use a small chassis compact utilility tractor with a 3pt mower on it to do the lawn but it was too small for my other needs, hence the cab tractor)

OK,

I'll edit for brevity.

Unknown year and hour LT-155 with a rear bagger $800. Good deal or not?

Hehehe, I apologize Tom, I completely misread your original post. Sometimes I brain fart like that. Congrats on the new tractor! :thumbsup: What is it?

That LT155 will be a 1998 to 2001 model, according to tractordata "dot" com. Even if it's a 1998 model and unless it was used far more than what might be considered normal, it should have around 700 hours on it. I've got a couple of Kohler twins that have well over 1,000 hours on them and they are still going strong. If it's in pretty decent shape, then $800 probably isn't a bad deal.
 
I realize this thread is about a month old, but I just paid $800 for the same mower (1999) with 42" Freedom deck and without a bagger. Mower was clean and appeared to have been well cared for. I think I got as good of a deal as I could.
