Definately choose the XT2 over the XT1's as the XT1's come with the cheap TL200 trans. The XT2's fab deck is a rock solid deck that won't rust over the years of usage.
I found the XT1 engine offerings to be unappealing. The Kohler 7000 is good, yes? It does not have the Smartchoke system, it has a separate lever for the choke.

Any other 42" tractors you'd recommend?

Thank you for the reply!
