I have always bought the cheapest mower I could get. Just the $800-$1000 cheap riders that did the job. They did a good job for the money, I have no complaints about them. They lasted usually 10 years or so and then I bought a new one.

I would recommend one to anyone that has a yard bigger than 1/2 of an acre or so.
