For that kind of coin I'd be looking at a used professional ZTR.

How much land do you have to mow?

Is it hydrostatic?
While I will drive a cheap (used, beat up) gear mower, if I was to spend
real money on one it would be hydrostatic.

I'm not sure how much info on JD lawn tractors there is there, I spend
my time in the BIG BOY's Toys (tm :-) forum.

I just stopped by my local green dealer and found a new 5103 MFWD
sitting there with 522 loader.
Make it a 5303 and give me some land to use it on and I'll take it (in a
few years maybe :-(
