John, My vote goes for a John Deere. I bought an L110 (replaced by D110) at my local John Deere dealer about 7 years ago for my 1 acre lot and have had zero problems other than the seat cover crackin

For 1.5 acres are we talking about a push mower, or do you want the $12,000 Deere with finish mower attachment driven off the p.t.o.? :-) I keeeeeeeeeeeeed. I've got a Husky from Lowes I use for ~4 a

I know this will be sacrilegious to write on the Shop Talk mail list but consider simply paying a yard service to mow the lawn. I say this for two reasons: 1) I hate mowing the lawn (I'd prefer to ha

Kubota. My parents wore out two JD riding mowers. It seemed like there was always something going wrong with them. I know some people have really good luck with them, but my experience with them is t

The best mower is a cheap Snapper you bought off of Craigslist. Easy to fix when it breaks, relatively cheap parts, and lots of excuses to sit out in the shop and tinker while you sip a beverage. Con

I've got a John Deere LX188 (48" mulching deck) that's been a pretty good mower for the past 18 years (it was my father's). He upgraded to a John Deere X360 (I think) a few years ago. It's 22 HP and

Funny, but a carb kit is the one thing I'd really expect them to have. They're not very expensive, they don't take up much shelf space and "gunked up carburetor" seems to be a popular problem with sm

Howdy, I have done absolutely no research at all. That said, every time I see the word "Kubota" mentioned as regards "mowing my lawn", what I hear in my head is "way the hell too much money". I have

It didn't matter much to me one way or the other--the dealer Deere was pushing $3,000. That kind of money would be enough to purchase the army of Roomba-mowers and deploy them. The H-D Deere was more

Yes, Kobotas are not cheap. Mine was like 7K with tax back in 93. Mine does not have 4 wheel drive or "zero" turn. I do have a bagger however. But if you look at it as a once a lifetime purchase, whi
