I am also looking at Deere tractors. I am buying a house with 1.4 acres and
was thinking of the LT180.

You'll regret it when it takes you 3 hours to mow.

I had an LT166 for the first 3 years I lived here (1.75 acres).
Traded it in last year for a mid-level Dixon ZTR and the difference is
huge. Way faster, much better cut.
