Default Seeking opinions on a Sears 42" lawn tractor

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.)


I bought a used Sears 4'2 inch mower for $200.00 Changed the oil,
sharpened the blades, put new belts, adjusted and greased it and it runs
trouble free every year. Even put a bagger on it. I had to remove the
deck brakes because they were jamming and preventing disengagement of
the blades. I also bypassed that irritating seat switch.
