Quality lawn tractor for $1200 or less?
I have been looking to buy a lawn tractor since we just bought a house with a little over a half acre of grass. I have mowed it once with a push mower and won't do that again.
Can anyone recommend a quality lawn tractor for $1200 or less? I do not need a zero turn or anything fancy like that.
I was looking at the Troy-Bilt Pony 17 HP, 42 inch cut. However, it looks to me to be the exact same mower as the Bolens and the Yard Machines...all made by MTD. I found a website which pretty much rated them as junk.
I was considering a Craftsman from Sears, but all but the more expensive ones have a manual transmission (stop to change speed).
I have considered used, but am not thrilled about going that route when I can buy new for not much more.

John Deere has always made great lawn tractors and highly rated in COnsumer Reports. The same can be said for Toro. Check them out at your local Home Depot or Lowes.

I bought a Bolens 4 yrs. ago and I love it. I've got a little over 1/2 acre and I have never had a prob. with it. Paid $799 for it
