Hey guys looking to buy a new riding mower for my landscaped 1/2 acre lot in Southern Ontario Canada. I know I should be push mowing but I like toys lol. Anyways i'm not looking to break the bank on something i'm only really using 6-7 months a year so ideally i'm looking at a machine under $2000. I really dont know whats decent anymore seeing as though MTD makes most of the machines and I've heard nothing but bad things about the new JD's. Should I be looking for a few year old JD? I dont need big power as its a fairly level lot looking for reliability more than anything. Any thoughts and opinions are welcome thanks in advance
