Which New Lawn Tractor To Purchase

[mrauditor]

For a 1/4 acre, any flavor of MTD would suite your needs. If you’re going to be racking up some hours doing the neighbors turf, then Id buy once cry once and go at least half commercial. A hyrdro 44” would be a good size for your yard but not too small for an acre. Gravely, exmark, hustler etc are some brands to pick from.

I have heard that Exmark is one of the preferred commercial brands. The landscaper who mows several yards on my street uses this equipment in the zero turn capacity. Thanks.

I put 1300 hours on one many years ago. With a Kawa engine, you cant kill them.

For what it's worth Consumer Reports current edition reviews mowers. In your price range they recommend:

Cub Cadet (three models) XT1 LT46, XT1 LT42 EFI, XT1 LT42
John Deere E110

Those are their top 4 picks up to $2,000

Get you a few goats & fence your yard in, zero maintaince!!

I have seen some local counties utilizing goats to tackle kudzu. The goats did a nice job. Thanks.
