I've been reading many of the posts and, of course, the internet. I've determine that I really do need:
1. Horsepower - I intend to get a trailer (my crafstman had one) for hauling stuff around the yard and the idea of preparing my garden with a cub is very interesting
2. Hydrostatic drive - I like the convenience of the feature
3. Hydraulic lift - I admit that I like gadgets!

I found a few on Craigslist last night...most needed work.

Most will probably need work to at least fix Previous Owner's fixes, (short cuts). These things are easy to work on, service manuals are available to help you with any mechanicals you need to work on and everyone here is very helpful and probably the most knowledgeable people I have seen regarding our hobby. Our technical libraries will have most all of the information you will need for most any GT you pick to own.
