I have about 2 acres to mow. I live in a small town and the only

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

If the Sears can get you parts, go with them. One thing every mower
needs is parts. As far as model, so much depends on the way your yard
is layed out. If it is fairly flat and without many obstacles, a
standard transmission will work fine, if it is full of things to mow
around, add a few hundred to your budget and get hydrostatic drive.
