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 went lawnmower shopping this year planning on upgrading a little bit and buying a John Deere 135. They run about $2000. I figured they might last a bit longer, and seemed to have a bit better comfort.
Every person I talked to ask why I wasn't buying a zero turn. They ranted and raved about how good their mower was, how fast they could mow their lawns and how much less weed eating they had to do. I stood my ground and said I'm not paying that much for a mower.
I got to the John Deere dealership and to make a long story short I ended up going home with a zero turn. And I haven't regretted it one minute. I can mow my lawn in less than half the time, and it's actually FUN to mow it. Plus as they all told me, I have half of the weed eating to do.
I would recommend one to anyone that has a yard bigger than 1/2 of an acre or so.
