I have come to the conclusion to buy a riding mower. I have back problems and pretty bad luck with self propelled mowers. I started shopping the last week and have settled on 2 units but I am open to anyones insight. I would love to get some input on these. First unit I got from Lowes is a Troy Built Super Bronco with 21hp Vtwin Intec Briggs. It has a 42 inch deck with with the option for Deck washer plug (at this time I can not find the deckwasher part though). It is automatic with mow in reverse (with lever at fender). I am pretty happy with the unit power and speed but feel like I might be making a mistake. So I was thinking of exchanging it for... Cub Cadet LT 1042 with 19 hp Kohler motor with 42inch, auto with mow in reverse(at foot pedal) and deck washer installed. My questions is should I worry about this? Both are made by MTD from what I understand. The Troy is 1499 and the CC is 1599. Both have the exact chassis and body (not hood). Does the 19 vs 21hp make a difference?
The Kohler says its quieter and smoother than others but is that true with the Vtwin Briggs?
Is the deck washer worth it?
Does the plastic hood make a diffrence?
Cost for repair if anything happens big different? Any input would be great. Thanks

They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
