Default What's the best lawn tractor?

My WheelHorse sucks. I need a new lawn tractor to mow my semi-smooth 1.5
acres and a snow blade for my driveway.

That's really a subjective question, I'd look at garden tractors first.

What's your budget?

You paid too much for it. If you bought it right you would have been much
more satisfied.

If the damn thing didn't break every time I used it, I'd be even more
satisfied.

What do you think it is worth? $4300 with only 83 hours, looks and runs
like new?

FORGET ALL THE SMALL TALK ABOUT BUYING THE OLD MACHINE! IT'S JUNK IF IT DOESN'T WORK. BUYERS WANT IT FOR PARTS! INVEST $1999.00 WITH YOUR LOCAL JOHN DEERE DEALER FOR A L118 (PLUS A $200 IN STORE REBATE). I'VE HAD MINE FOR A SEASON AND IT IS FANTASTIC AND WELL WORTH THE MONEY. IT'S A HONEY! GOOD LUCK - ED

We have a Cub Cadet 1527. The mower's worked well on our semi-rough,
prairie grass 2 acres. (We didn't get grass in everywhere we should have
right away, and erosion made the yard lumpy). We've talked about getting a
snow blade, but haven't done it yet. The tractor's worked well so far.
Using the instruction book, I changed the oil myself and only had to ask for
help getting the filter off because I didn't have an oil filter wrench.
With a little help from this newsgroup, DH and I removed the mow deck so I
could grease the spindles. I'd have done it myself if I had the physical
strength, but I couldn't manage it.

I even mowed the ditch last week, and the only trouble I had was getting
hung up on an ant hill!
