i have had 4 diffrentypes over the past 30 year,s.2 cub-cadet,s 1- john deere, 2 craftsman, 1 simplicity.i wpould rate as the best overaul mower cutting machine the simplicity it was a 3414 hydro state new in 1971 and still running strong today, it has a snow blower ans a roto tiller for it.forget the snow blower and get one with a blade and a set of chaines onless you want to take a shower evry time you snow blow and it,s cold.the john deere i would rate the worse it was a little 70 about a 1971,it broke a axel shaft about 20 years ago and still set,s in the barn,it had a tecumses motor and was allways broke down--starter-flywheel-gearshifter-rear wheel hub,s-the wiring system and was a belt drive no problem with belt slipping but all the pullies wore out.the 2 craftsman one was a hydro state and 38 in cut nice little machine but built very lite so you use it with some care--mower deck was junk rebuilt it 2 times in 5 years.ht eother chraftsmann is a 6 speed and i only use it to push snow,you can rotate the blade setting on the seat.it,s only 6 years old so i cant say how long it will last buit it also is a very light machine.now sear,s tractor,s that are painted red there 2 top ones are built for them by Husquvarna and is a very old and great company i have not used one, but will be my next buy.if you buy a massy fergeson it is a simplicity with red paint.now one of my cub cadet,s is a old stick 3 speed about 1965 the mower deck is long gone but i use it for towing my wagones now --built like brick sh--t house they use the same rear end and trans mission in them ase the full size cub-farmall tractor,the older ones had poor cutting mower deck,s those that were built up to about early 70,s. the other one is a hydro 129 and is my favorite operating machine if it get,s traction it will move any thing, the mower deck is fair i think it,s about a 1969 replaced the motor once but never been into the hydro state or rear end and in the summer i cut like about 4 aker,s every week with it,the handies machine i have ever run. hope this help,s, also the scott,s machine is built by john deere.
