: I would not recomend buying a cheep mower from a discount place. You only get what you pay for. With your limited budget check out a local JD or Cub Cadet dealer for a reconditioned twin cylinder tractor. They are not throw away machines and there are a lot of them around. : : I'm starting to tire of constantly fixing the old Bolens 1050, and my newer Bolens 3012H has a seized B&S twin-v. I only have about an acre+/- to mow, and don't really need attachments, even tho I have snow thrower/blade attachments for the 1050. It always seems though that I have on the wrong attachment vis-a-vis the type of snow to be moved! Chains keep coming off, etc.
: : Anyway, if I decide to scrap the newer Bolens in favor of a brand new unit, which one do you folks out there consider the best for the money? My budget is limited to about $2K, and I'm looking for durability, reliability, strength, a great cutting deck and value, more or less in that order. So far I've been considering Simplicity and Honda, although the local Home Depot has those Murray for cheap. Are they good, or just relative throwaways?
: : I do most of my own maintenance but spare time isn't so plentiful anymore.
: : Thanks
