Hi, it's pretty much lawn mowing season here and our current tractor lawn mower broke down. It was a hand-me-down and didn't handle well in the first place, but now we need a replacement.

What are some suggestions? In terms of brands in general, durability, easy handling, ease of use, and good maneuverability (I'm a pretty small female and am generally not that great with mechanics but our yard is over 1 acre and I'd feel bad if my dad were the only one in the house who could easily use the thing).

Completely new to buying riding lawn mowers so help would be welcome. If you recommend one you use yourself, could you also include a price range and how many years you've had it for and how much you use it?



Answer
Consumer Reports Magazine in their May issue has an article that rates and compares riding mowers and hand mowers. You might want to get a copy and read it. It is also available on their website for a fee. If I remember right their top rated tractor mower was a John Deere model priced around $2000?

Any suggestions for a lawn mower(s) for 3-4 acres to mow?

My husband and I are looking into buying a lawn mower/tractor to mow about 3 - 4 acres. We are thinking about either a JD 2210 or JD 4115. Does anyone have a suggestion of any others, especially of lesser cost, but the same quality for the amount of mowing to be done? Also, suggestions on which size of deck and the amount of time it would take to mow this amount would be great. We have a Torro with a 54" deck now, but we are sharing it with my father-in-law and it is becoming a hassle to take back and worth every week or so. Plus, we have to get the bushhog to use too. We use the Torro for yard (about 1.5 acres) and the bushhog for the other acres. That's why we need one that would be great to do it all! ~thanks


Answer
I'd Look at exmark or grasshopper's..., any 42 inch with a hydro riding mower will do 1.5 acres easy though... I'd also think about simplicity/snapper mowers as well. Simplicity owns snapper.
