Im in the market for a new to me, used lawn tractor,garden tractor. Ive been checking craigslist and there are quite a few in my price range 5-7 hundred, but i know nothing what so ever about them basically between the older ones and the newer ones . is it better to get an older style say cub cadet/ john deer /mtd/ etc that have 12-15 horse engines or are the newer ones hydrpdrive with 15-20 hp better did they rate them differently back then it seems the older ones are heavier duty were as the newer ones have v-twin higher horsepowers. here are a few examples of what im seeing .

there are aslo a few older john deers and some with snowblowers that have my interest.
usually id buy the new one but there is no work for me right now so im in savings mode.
I have about 2.5 acres to mow if that helps.
