Model yt3000/28922, 42", auto tranny, B&S 21 HP. Some research online
says these are OEM'd by Husqvarna, and roughly equal to their low-end
models, at a lower price point. List $1399, but apparently on sale this
weekend for $1299, which sales droid was NOT aware of.

I find writing 4-digit checks physically painful, but I am also finding
3.5 hours per week behind a push mower physically painful to my
allergies, sinuses, and hives. Thinking that perhaps cutting that
exposure time would reduce my allergy problems, I am tempted to splurge.
Looking for honest opinions about the current sears mowers of this
series. (the red ones, not the gray ones, which are apparently MTD this
year.)


Here is a link with some reviews. I prefer the manual transmissions,
this one has hydrostatic which most prefer. Check any gates you have to
drive through to make sure it will clear. Riding mowers are riding
mower and if you want a perfect cut well,... a riding mower is a riding
mower and a lot depends on how smooth the yard is.
Evidently you can mow while backing which I find very useful, many
riding mowers you have to by-pass the safety to do that.
Cup holders!!!!!! you might be able to use that if your yard is
smooth enough. It's a one cylinder so it will vibrate more than a
twin. Turning radius is very good for this type of mower.
As for being on sale, Sears always has a sale going.
I say go for it, and buy a six pack of beer so you can use the cup
holder.
