Anyone recommend lawn tractors?
Does BMW make a lawn tractor ?:p
My Craftsman lawn tractor just bit the dust. 8 year-old tractor, not worth the price to repair anymore. I'm looking for something primarily for mowing (3/4 acre of lawn), as well as something I can use for fall cleanup (mulching up the leaves and such). Any brands/models recommended by the homeowners on the board? I've not had the best of luck with the Craftsman. As a side note, i've had trouble with field mice in the shed where my tractor goes. Bastards probably ruined my last tractor. Hard to keep those guys out. Any thoughts on that? I hate to buy a nice new tractor to have them nest in it again and chew the wires.

The Home Depot models are lower quality and I would pay a little more for the better service you will get from from a local dealer

get a JD. They are the best and last forever. I have one and they are also extremely easy to work on. I love it.

I currently have a 28hp/60" Cub Cadet garden tractor and it's a pretty good unit. It replaced a similarly-sized John Deere garden tractor. I cut about 2 acres around the house and both units performed fine (I have three hayburners to handle the rest of the farm). Of the two, I prefer the John Deere. It felt better built and more solid, did a great job on the yard, was more nimble, and finally, it didn't scalp the uneven areas like the Cubbie does (like most of WV, my yard is a little hilly in places).
FYI, the mass-market JDs (Lowes, Home Depot) are built offshore and the lesser Cub Cadets (Tractor Supply, Farm & Fleet) are built by MTD. They're not bad tractors, just lighter duty and therefore less expensive.
