I have about 2 acres to mow. I live in a small town and the only
mowers I have access to are those at a local Sears outlet and I can
drive 30 miles to a Lowes. I just want the best buy for the money.
If I could keep the cost close to $1000-1200, that would be great. Of
the mowers in that price range, what would you recommend. THanks

I live in a small town also, but have access to a half dozen brands. Did
you check the local farm equipment stores? Garden supply shops? Outdoor
equipment stores? I'd go for a John Deere myself.


Slightly OT, but did you see the movie "Straight Story" ?
(I think that was the name). Based on a true story about
this 70+ yr old gentleman who traveled across 3 states
on a 20 yr old John Deere riding mower (to visit his ill
estranged brother, who was recovering from a stroke). It
was a very good movie.

Them John Deeres just keep on plugging along.
