What is the best riding lawn mower for under 2000 dollars. I have 3/4 of an acre to cut, no trees or hills?

Answer 1

I bought a Cub Cadet last year and I love it. It was sitting next to a John Deer with the exact same engine and the same size deck but was $1,500 less. I mow 4 acres here and it cuts it great. I paid $1,919 for it, but for the size yard you have I’d say a smaller one for about $1,200 would last you for many years.

John Deere......They start around $2,000.00 new. I bought an LT166 about 9 years ago for a little more than $3,000.00. It is still the most dependable riding lawn mower I've ever owned (i cut about 2 acres worth). My advice would be to look for a good used JD or perhaps you're a candidate for the $1,800.00 Home Depot special. Either way.....nothing runs like a DEERE.....

We've got over an acre to mow here in the country, plus ditches, and there is plenty of stuff to trim around ... trees, buildings, bushes. I mow most of it using a riding mower, and while I'm doing that, my wife usually trims around everything using a small, light power push mower. Her job is the hardest, but she claims to like the exercise. We also have a place in town with a good-sized lawn that I hire someone else to mow & take care of. I think we'll sell that place this year, though. My wife is gone, scrap-booking with her girlfriends today - I better go get busy mowing NOW! Bye!

Answer 5

Ummmm....

Nothing runs like a Deer?

Well, that's what we've got and it does great going up hills and all, but I just wish it had the snow plow attachment. So if you're in the area where there's snow...make sure you get one that can have the plow attachment, even if you already have a snow blower. During this last storm we had, my snowblower got clogged with slush, while my neighbor pushed his snow out of the way without a problem.

Just an fyi. I really don't know which is the best lawnmower. Perhaps try ConsumerGuides.com and see what they think.

Good luck.

Answer 6

u couldnt pay me to buy a riding mower exspecially with only 3/4 of an acre however i would recomend a small walk behind like a 32 or 36 inch cut like a troy built not enough to pull you on a sulky but you will get the job done much faster than u would trying to go round and around in a circle with a tractor

I read an article in consumer reports that had Cub cadet, John Deere, Troy-Bilt, Husqvarna, and Simplicity all listed as very economic pieces of equipment. I would recommend that you purchase a mower that you know you can getted serviced and parts a readily available for. You can choose any major brand and find a version of it for $2,000.00 or less that will mow what you need it to. Most major brands are all made by a few manufacturers, they just brand them different names. So if you just choose by brand, it will probably be 6 to half a dozen when it comes to the difference between the different brands in that price range. Again, look at ease of maintenance for yourself, and that you have good support for parts and service after you buy the piece of equipment, Any unit in that price range will be ok, if you maintain the service regularly.

Answer 8

I have a Cub Cadet. I am really pleased with it. I bought it 3 years ago for $1500.
Whatever you get, make sure the front end steering components are forged metal. Stamped will not last long. Another thing I looked at when shopping for mine was anti-scalp wheels. The Cub has 4. Many others only have 2.

Answer 9

I have about 1 1/2 acres I have a Husky 12hp 42" This is my second one. Went to larger model and hydrostatic and automatic. Has oil filter like a truck or car. Never had any major problems.
About $1300 with extended warranty.
Life of any engine is the oil, make sure to change frequently.

Answer 10

if you just have 3/4 of an acre to cut and its flat then why do you need a riding lawn mower
