The time has come for a new lawn tractor. I really don't want to spend more than $1500.
I'm looking at that John Deere that Home Depot has. It's a straight shift 5 speed (which is what I want; not hydro) and has extra available for it. I searched on Usenet for ideas but one seldom sees more than the usual "not a real Deere", insults and other bullshit.
Does anyone have any experience with this model? I'm wondering if I'm better off just buying an $800 Sears/AYP model instead.
I have 2 acres to mow but it's not all covered with grass.
My old lawn tractor was 11 hp with a 36" deck. All of the models I see for sale now seem to have at least a deck that size but usually more.
thanks
