Casey: You keep talking about 42 inch decks on models of JD mowers that would not have had 42 inch decks unless they where a 42M mulching deck. That deck does not work well on large yards.
The LX178 would have come with a 38 inch deck. The $1000 is on the high side for it unless it is a total creampuff. $500-750 catches the average ones. Good mower for smaller yards.
Possible mower decks for the LX 178/188: 38 inch deck with two blades, The 44 inch Piranha mulching deck with six blades- Two per spindle, Then the 48 inch deck with three blades on grease able spindles.
The LX 277 AWS with a 48 deck is high at $1300. The AWS hurts on resale. There is extra linkage to wear and maintain. The AWS is only an advantage if you have a lot of things to trim around. Then it is a plus.
The water cooled is better if you mow for longer than an hour at a time. If you can mow your yard in less time that that then you will gain nothing from the water cooled engine.
