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

I am looking for recommendation on used lawn tractors. I have about 1 acre to mow and it is pretty flat. My budget is about $1,000. I have been looking at older Snapper, Simplicity, and John Deere so far.

I came across a 92 Snapper with 48 inch deck, electric PTO, original owner, and 500 hours on it. Asking price is $900.

Not sure if that is a decent price for that machine?

As with most things, the older machines appear to be much better made. I am looking for recommendation on what Make\Models to look for.

Thanks for the help!!

You may want to change the oil on the Kaw... Sometimes if they sit and have a carb issue with flooding,  the carb can fill the engine case with fuel and dilute the oil...

Just something to check and keep a eye on...

There are many models to choose from, with that size of a plot I would recommend buying something second hand, search this forum or ebay and find something with less than 500 hours on the clock.
