let me know what to stay away from.
sears.
Thanks.
In the end Sears did the right thing for me, after I insisted the one I had
purchased was not right (deck height to low) they shipped me a new lawn
tractor and picked up the old one.
The new lawn tractor is great.
Are you just busting my stones Jim?

I'd have said Wal*Mart before Sears, but Sears is right after that..
I've got a (used) Craftsman riding mower, it's ok and does its job. I
wouldn't stress it with a snow blower or plow on its nose though, even
if it was new.
That SCAG pointed out in another post is a nice "Pro" type of mower. The
people who mow the drain culverts by my house use one like that. It's
got a 45 deg angle to the slope and works fine.
I've always been a John Deer fan when it comes to mowers. But I like
that traditinal sit down and steer look and feel of a mower. Not much
for the levers you need to push or pull to turn.
