I suggest you go to your local JD Dealer and get his best no trade price on a new 4210 with a 420 loader. THis model is probably closest to the 855 although the 4210 is more tractor. After you get the price you will have a better idea if the price on the 855 is reasonable. Price the 4210 with E-hydro and you should include the mid pto option as the 855 has it standard equipment.

I agree, the local Menards, Home Depot, Fleet Farm stores make a ton of money selling those little bottles of Ready to Use Roundup where the purchaser is buying mostly water. But that is the core business for those stores. Sure, some folks buy kitchen cabinets, sizable lumber purchases, Plumbing supplies,etc, but the biggest share of their business is the city dweller who has nothing to do on a Sunday morning but to drive to Home Depot and buy something. They could care less that the $10 bottle of Roundup will last about 4 minutes spraying weeds around the sidewalk. THey've got money to spend and too much time. I buy Roundup in the Superconcentrate formula in 2 1/2 gallon containers for the same price that has been mentioned in the previous posts. The Sunday morning Home Depot folks are actually quite fun to watch. They arrive in the parking lot in their $40,000 SUV so they can take home their 3 2x4s and a box of wood screws. They actually make a morning out of it. I guess you can't blame them. If I lived in the city I'd be looking for reason to get out of the house as well.

Stan, for which mowing deck are you able to get individual blades? My dealer says that individual blades are not available for the 62" deck on my X595. Again, he was willing to open a box and sell me one but as convenience to the customer. I remember trying to get a single blade for the 60" deck on my 445 and was told the same thing by another dealer. This dealer refused to open a set.

I don't think the weight will be an issue for you. I traded my 2WD 445 (gas) for the X595 (4WD diesel) and can't tell any difference on the lawn.
