Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Well, my parents have 2 acres and they have been buying murrays and weedeaters and so on for years now. Well my dad is wanting to buy a quality mower  this time, I found a 48 inch Snapper today with a  Briggs on it. I believe it was a 20 hp. The mower is brand new from a dealer down the road he is asking 4100.00.Personaly I think that the Briggs will hold up just fine for that yard they will only be using it only for that yard of course once a week in the summer and spring and just a few times in fall and winter ( florida). What do you guys think and any other suggestions??? I don't think he is wanting to spend over 5000.00 for one Oh yea he said he wil not buy a Cub Cadet, because his co worker has one and he has had nothing but problems.  Later Mike

Hey Marshall, your right that fast cut looks much better I think I might go down there tomm. and check them out in person. My dad is just so busy so he is leaving it up to me to do most of the shopping. I'm also going to go to the Exmark dealer and check out that small mower they offer, also Hustler has a small one. I don't know of the closest bob cat dealer around here but I'm gonna find out. Thanks guys I'll keep you up dated.

Hi...

Been checkin' out Z-turn riders past few weeks... for their needs I would strongly consider the Hustler brand Fastrack models... 48" & 54" ? cuts under $5,000 here... Seems pretty close to the commercial models...

Seeminly solid machines !

I think they are to I had to work late today did'nt make it to any dealers. Hustler is a very popular brand down here. I will definetly be checking them out.

Hi Mike...

If Husler is a popular brand there... definately check out the "consumer" models... I liked what I saw for the $$$... but did not try one...
