I'm looking to get a riding lawn mower and I would like some advice on what to get.?

Here's what Consumer research had to say in regards to the best tractors:

My recommendation would be a cub cadet. You might only be able to get a used one but it will be the best one for your money. John deer makes a very good mower also , but they are way over priced. I have orked on cub cadets for many years as a mechanic and they are by far one of the easiest ot work on. I woeked on many others also and cussed many of them. I would recommend about a 9-10 horse. i had 10 acres at the time but only weekly mowed about 1 acre using a 10 horse. It was plenty of power.

When choosing used: look for good tires, check steering links, brakes, and compression.

Good luck

for a 1000 bucks you cant that good of a riding mower but i would go with john deere they last a long time.

I don't know what to get but I know what NOT to get-Sears lawnmower. We have one and it has been nothing but trouble! A real lemon. You usually get what you pay for. How about an exmark or small cub cadet? They are good machines.

get a john deer

or one with a briggs and stratton engine

any other engine except robin [made by old Wisconsin company ] is junk

something around 17 hp
