    John Deere 450H LGP

    I am going to look at JD 450H LGP that's for sale. Is there anything special I need to be looking for other than the obvious. I am not real familiar with these machines just seen a lot of them around. I've also never owned an LGP machine. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to LGP's? Thanks
