I don't know much about the newer Deere's.. But dad's brother has one of them 4 wheel steer things.. Drove it once, don't know why ANYONE would want one.. to me, they're just too clumsy.. I'm sure with a little time a person can adapt.
I will, however, second the LX. Dad has a LX188 Hydro drive.
Pros: we're both tall (and I'm plain big) but comfortable for us to run.. knees not in the chest. Seems to be built well.. fairly quiet, does a FINE mowing job. I myself like the "foot" operated hydro, but I can see where if you had to mow a lot your foot could get tired (like driving a car)
The cons: The things I know we've had problems with are: It used to burn up coils. Dad was told JD had a bulletin out about it, and ours was fixed.. seems like the 3rd time they put a "improved" coil and a step hotter plug in it (It has been better than 10 years now) Dad always kept his inside, but the seat still deteriorated (no big deal to change the cushion though, as it screws on) And the hood cracked (again, no fault of Deere would be my guess.. dad hit something I'm willing to bet).
If I had to bet, I'd guess it has somewhere around 1000 hours on it.. This will be the 13th season he's used it, and I know as well as his 2 acres, it has mowed my grandparents, uncles, and my lawns MANY times in the previous 12 years. We also pushed snow with it the first few years. Dad always kept the oil changed and kept it greased.. It's been through many blades and a few belts.
I'd recommend one, if one that don't look to be abused comes up.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
