best mower in the $2000 range?

will be shopping for a new riding mower in the next week or so. What is the best quality for my money in the $2000 range? Might be able to stretch it to $2300. Needs to be at least 42 inch cut,preferably 48 or 52 would be nice,but the 52's I have seen are out of my price range. I am not brand loyal,just looking for the best bang for my buck that will last a long time. Would also like to be able to add attachments like snow plows,etc. Thanks for any thoughts!!

Make a purchase? If so, what did you buy?

I don't think he got one that will last a long time for 2K. IMO

3rd week of August, Toro Dealers usually have their year end sales. You can really cut a nice deal, I did back in 2014.
