Default Riding mower

I have lots of time and enjoy cutting the grass. I don`t need or want
all of the fancies on a mower and it`s time to get a new one.
My question---Is a $1800 mower so much better than a $900 one. A 38 in.
cut is just fine for me. What do ya`ll think?



If your use for a car is only to go to the store once in a while, would
a Mercedes be better than a Hyundai?
All my mowers and garden tractors in the last 30 years have been the low
end units. Murray (now MTD), Craftsman, and Poulan,
The 22 inch, self powered, mulch or back bagged discharge, Poulan cost
me $100 on sale at HD 5 years ago. It replaced a Craftsman 22 inch self
propelled mower that I had for about 20 years, The Craftsman still
worked, but looked like s**t and I couldn't pass on the Poulan price. My
Murray 48 inch 18 HP Garden tractor, used both summer and winter
(attached snow blower) has been going for about 15 years now.
It cost $1600 back then.
