Check past 2 months issues of Consumer Reports magazine. #1 - John Deere,
#2 - Troy Bilt, #3 - Craftsman; there arevarious models, depending upon
what features you want.

Items to consider: budget, size of mowing deck (wider the better: 42-inch
vs. 48 inch),

Wider is better if the lawn is smooth but if it is uneven with lots of
obstacles, the narrower might have an advantage.

available accessories (attachement point to tractor (low vs
high)), manual gear vs automatic; horsepower (the bigger is NOT always the
better), ergonomics (easy to reach controls - levers, switches not in your
way), & is the seat back high enough to support your back (high back is
better than low back).
