Home Depot and John Deere riding mowers?




Jules


I recently purchased a home and it has a huge lawn that needs to be cut. I've never purchased a lawn mower before, but knew I wanted a John Deere and I decided to go to to the Home Depot to price a riding one (I live in a small town, so this is the only big-box, hardware store in the area). Apparently, they only had (1) in stock (an LA105), but it was on their floor, but showed very slightly worn tires, and dust (probably when they drove on the floor). Anyway, as far as I was concerned, it wasn't exactly new (wasn't crated), but since it was the only one there, I asked if they would give me a slight price break (not much, maybe 5 or 10% off), and I would buy right now. I was rudely told "this is not a floor model, it was new.. no mower comes assembled, and John Deere actually has a service person come out to build and check it before they put it out". Does anyone know if this is true? I may be ignorant when it comes to buying a mower, but I find it hard to believe homeowners have to assemble a riding mower on their own if they don't buy the one sitting out on the floor. What do you think? Thanks.

How many HP do you guys suggest for a riding mower to cut a 1/2 acre of lawn,the yard has alot of rolling hills with a few fairly steep climbs.I was thinking Husqvarna,what do you think?


Answer
Husqvarna makes the Craftsman mowers. MTD makes Cub, White, Troy-Built, Yard man, Yard Machines, Bolens, and the new Toro tractors. The John Deeres in Lowes and Home Depot are made to last 250 hours and be tossed. That is all the "discount" brands.

If you are looking for a mower go to a dealer, even if its John Deere. The dealer can service the machine after the sale. Most will even deliver for free. They know the machines and the feature that will work for your conditions and situation in your yard. You are going to talk to someone who knows exactly what they are talking about, and not someone who will be in paint tomorrow.

I would recommend a Snapper of a Simplicity. Simplicity has a mower called the Regent that is 18 HP with a 38" deck, and sells for $1999. You are not going to find many machines under 15 HP.
