My parents(both are elderly and won"t be using it, it"ll be myself and my brothers) are in need of new mower. Dad"s always bought cheaper mowers, and usually had decent service out of them, 10 to 15 years. Craftsman, Dynamark, Lowes(MTD), and the last was a Yard Machine(MTD). But the last was really a peice of crap. My brother has a newer Troybuilt(MTD) and it seems to be the same, junk.
Now they can"t afford to go buy new Deere 300x series, so that leaves buying a new MTD, American Yard Products(AYP), or a good older used mower. Thing is, since I"ve only ever had experience with the cheaper lines, and MTD use to be decent, but I"m thinking not so anymore, I don"t know squat about some better mowers. It"ll be be cutting about 3/4 to one acre every 1 to 2 weeks.
I"ve found serveral within a couple hours of the house ranging from decent looking Murray"s and Craftsmen in the $200 to $400 range, one Ariens YT-12(looks decent, especially at $350), a Deere 318(rebuilt motor, loks really good $1350),a Deere 212 (kinda rough looking, $375), a Deere LT 166 for $700(no pics), an older Simplicity(looks decent 16hp, $500), A 1992 model snapper(18hp, looks garage kept, $700), and various old Cub"s. Any suggestions? I"m kinda leaning towards maybe a good used Deere, just because of dealer support, but I"m clueless at looking at all of there diffrent models.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
