Why do you want a lawn tractor for a yard that size? Do you have a physical
disability that you cannot walk? Is the lawn such a steep grade it is to
hard to push? It is a waste of money on a yard that small a push mower might
take an hour to mow. Get a good push mower maybe even a self propelled if
you need it. Get one of the rear wheel drive with the caster wheels in the
front. I have an 80 year old grandmother who push mows a lawn bigger than
that and I am not joking.

I'm getting ready to buy a new lawn tractor for our .6 acre lot in
Charlotte, NC.

Initially, I thought for sure I'd buy a new John Deere L110 at Home Depot
for $1799. It looks like a good unit, and they are advertising their
mowing
deck to be better for reducing the grass buildup underneath it. It's a
17.5
HP mower.

Then, I stopped at Sears to see what they had. The salesman there was
touting their DLT 3000 tractors as better than the John Deere units.

A couple of questions he

1. Any opinions on the quality of the Sears DLT 3000 tractors vs. the
John
Deere L110?

2. I see the DLT 3000 tractor comes in 3 "flavors"....(a) 25HP B&S
V-Twin,
(b) 20HP Kohler Pro, and (c) 16.5HP Honda V-Twin (which also has cruise
control). Oddly enough, the smallest engine (Honda) costs more than the
largest engine (B&S). Any opinions on which of the three is best?

Thanks....
