The 42-inch John Deere X304 lawn tractor has better build quality than the entry-level John Deere LA series, and it is rated for mowing a larger area. Reviews praise the four-wheel steering and 15-inch turning radius, which make it easy to mow around trees and other obstacles. The X304 also wins praise for overall comfort, cruise control and many other conveniences. The warranty is for four years or 300 hours, whichever comes first. For smaller lawns with fewer obstacles, reviews recommend the less expensive LA series: for example, the John Deere LA115 (*Est. $1,750), though it may not last as long.

We found three excellent comparison reviews of the John Deere X304. At http://www.ConsumerReports.org, it's tested, rated and ranked in comparison with 21 less expensive lawn tractors. At the German publication Family Home and Garden, it's tested along with seven more comparable lawn tractors, over a longer period of use. At the Daily Telegraph (U.K.), it's one of five lawn tractors chosen for testing because all of them meet the strict emission limits set by the European Union.
