Im looking to buy a riding lawn mower?

07JAB88

I would like to buy a riding lawn mower. I would like it to last a LONG time (6 years and up. low maintenance) What is a good brand to buy? Please give me advice based on experience or accurate knowledge. I would like to spend $1200 or less. Thanks for any help given.

Answer
Hey 07JAB88 ,

Home Depot has a brand MTD, they are inexpensive compared to the a John Deere. The MTD will last 6 years easy if you take care of it, do not leave it outside in the rain. I had one for 3 years, when I moved I sold it for nearly what I paid for it. It looked great, worked great, cut great, the bags held up and it was still shiny. Here is one for $200 bid on e-bay right now.

Check out the Ariens 54 In. Deck 25 HP Kohler Engine Hydrostatic Yard Tractor at the second and third sites. Apparently time has passed and Home Depot sells the Ariens not MTD. These will do the job. Just take care of it.

Just sharing: A Reel type mower makes better cuts on the blades of grass, so looks better - so I put one at the end.

What would be a good quality lawn tractor for me to buy for my acre yard.?

dalejrallt

I was looking for a good lawn tractor to mow my 1 acre yard. I have been looking at John Deere LA 175 and the husqvarna LGT2654. I was also kind of looking at the cub cadet tractors but wasn't sure what would be good. The only requirements was that I wanted the briggs and stratton v-twin engine and a 48 to 54 inch cut. So I just need a few opinions on some tractors.

Answer
My cousin has a deere that needs yearly repairs. I have a cub cadet 50" deck, oil change has been the only maintenance so far.

Why would my Lawn Tractor Backfire and shut down when Blades are engaged.?

Q. Lawn tractor runs good until the blades are engaged. then the engine backfires and eventually shuts down and cant be restarted until it sets for a few hours. Mowers runs fine for approx 20 min till this starts to take affect.

Answer
I would say you probably have a bearing that is going bad on one of the spindles of the blades. There is a spindle for each blade that has a bearing inside. When one or more of the bearings starts to fail it makes it hard for the engine to turn that spindle - usually the belt will start slipping on this spindle and you will see some smoke or a squealing sound.
The other thing to check is the build up of dead grass under the mower deck. This can cause the blades to slow down or even stop one or more of the blades. I pull our riding mower (craftsman 54" deck) up on a set of sloping car ramps. This gives me room to reach under the deck with a putty knife and scraper to clean out this dead dried grass. Believe me, it accumulates pretty quickly. I clean this out each time I mow our 4 acres.

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

best 54 lawn tractor image

nc1kcfan

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.

What is the best riding mower?

Adam

My dad and I have been mowing some lawns commercially on the side for the past 7 or 8 years. I have one job that is about 6" to 8" tall when we mow it and it is not like city grass, it's like grass that grows in the country. It is about 5 or 6 acres of that with little trees that try to grow in the grass. That yard takes about 5 or 6 hours of mowing each time. The rest of my yards are in town and a lot smaller. For the jobs I have right now I have been using a 2007 Cub Cadet Tractor mower, 24 horsepower, 50" cut that I bought this year and I works we'll but I bought it used and it already has some problems. I recently narrowed down my selection to a mower with 24+ hp and a 42" + cut zero turn mower under $3,500. It has to be durable and be able to do this job and not fall apart. I was looking at the 2013 Hustler Raptor (23 hp Kawasaki engine, 54" cut with a really strong deck and build for $2,899) and a Bad Boy MZ Magnum (27 hp Briggs and Stratton motor and a 54" deck built also really strong for $3,499) I would much rather have more hp but I heard someone say that the Kawasaki motor runs so much better, but is it as powerful as the 27 hp Briggs and Stratton motor? Any suggestions on other ztr mowers and and answer to this question of which one would be better for my job(s) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Answer
That cub is a hard mower to beat. I think I would look and see how much to repair it first.

John Deere or Craftsman?

best 54 lawn tractor image

beachbum

I want to buy a new lawn tractor for my three acre lawn. I'm not sure which is better- John Deere LA150 with a 26 h.p. Briggs and Stratton V-Twin with 54 inch mower deck from Home Depot or a Sears Craftsman DYS 4500 with a 26 h.p. Kohler Pro V-Twin with 54 inch mowing deck? I Automatically, I thought the John Deere was better because of their reputation, but upon more research, it seems that J.D. is not what it used to be and that ther customer service is terrible. At the same time, it seems that Sears really stands behind their products, plus supposedly they make really good tractors. Does anybody know enough about these tractors that they can give me some sound advice'? Thanks.

Answer
My vote goes to the craftsman with the kohler motor. It is especially good if you get the automatic transmission. I have had one for years and it has been great. They are made by AYP, I think the JD's are MTD.
