But if you ever want to branch out from there, the GT235 is a real garden tractor, which is basically a miniature farm tractor. As far as cutting grass goes, you won't really notice a difference. Does the LX have the foot pedal lift? You might prefer than over the hand lever. The tractors handle and operate identically, with twin-touch pedals and a manual lift deck. If you decide that both tractors do in fact have less than 100 hours, and move on from comparing the condition of the tractors to the features of the tractors, it's a no-brainer, the GT is an upgrade. If you see excessive wear on the tires, pedals, seat, lots of play in the steering, noisy deck bearings, etc, those are some things that might make you question the low hours claim. The only wear you should see is some paint scraped off the sides of the deck. With less than 100 hours, they should both be in like new condition. That being said, check other things for signs of wear. While 'rolling back' a car's odometer will get you in hot water, I don't think the sheriff cares much about guys selling lawn mowers with bogus hours. Also, even if it were, they're pretty easy to replace. Just because it shows less than 100 hours doesn't mean it was installed since new. I had to install it (even though the cutout was there in the frame). Scott, I'm not sure about the 235, but my 225 did not come with an hour meter.
