i like my 15 YO honda tractor that keeps chuggin, but's getting weak. there are actually decent people who keep it running and don't charge a fortune up here, so it better last a while.. They reccomend Husqvarna, but not a HD model, something slightly less suburbanized..

If you go with a Deere make sure you get the Kohler engine. I've had a L111 for two years. The mower is great, but my Briggs engine seizes and requires either creative timing with the key or has to be manually turned over once to start normally. It also as a serious vibration even though the blades look fine. I'm assuming a dealer could determine the problem, but both problems happened after the warranty expired and I don't have a convenient way to bring it in (plus it still works). I've performed all of the scheduled maintenance and my probs may be a fluke, but it still leaves a bad taste.

If anyone knows where my prob lies, pls PM me.

or you cqn get the Robomow

saw a nice deal at home depot and pulled the trigger:
50" TORO 22HP with KOHLER engine (funny I thought thay only make bathroom fixtures and appliences) for $1599 (original price $1999)

If you're looking for a lawn mower...go with a John Deere. The best of the best! :thumbup:
