I've done some research, and I'm thinking I like Cub Cadet or John Deere. I don't want to spend any more than $2000 for the tractor and bagging attachment. Will the cheapest models hold up on a 1/4 acre lawn? Do you have experience with your Deere or Cub Cadet? I can perform maintenance and repairs, but I want something that will last a while without much trouble. Does anyone have a cheaper brand (Yard Machines etc) they are happy with?
Answer
They're both good mowers as are several others. I've had a couple of Craftsman that I'd swear by. They've got a good one on sale right now for about $1700 w/bagger.

Cub Cadet has a good deal on this one. w/ a bagger it'll be about $2K

I'm thinking that'll be my next mower or one like it.
John Deere is always good but overpriced in my opinion.
All of these mowers are rated for up to 2 1/2 acres. Your 1/4 acre lot should be a piece of cake. Just remember, sharp blades and dry grass.
Whatever your choice, check out warranty, service availability, cost of maintenance (blades, belts, battery etc.) some mowers can be very expensive to maintain. Is there a dealer local?
My first Craftsman lasted 10 years and was still running pretty good in fact when I got a new one. It's 10y/o now (another Craftsman) and I'm looking. I have about 2 acres to mow. Just keep the air filters clean and oil fresh.
I also have a C/man self propelled walk behind that I mow the front with (lotta stuff to mow around, flower beds, etc). It's 5 years old and still runs like new practically.

Answer
John Deere has several models of riding lawn mowers, such as the 100 Series; the X300 Series; the X 500 Series; and the X 700 Series. These are all heavy, solidly built dependable units and all American made. They are not inexpensive but they will serve you for many years and they hold their value.
I know people who buy use ones of 20 years old and older and continue to use them for many years. They are not plastic junk.
