Here's my story - I've push mowed my lot that is just under an acre now for two years. I'll still need to push mow the one lot line, and around some trees - but it's time to get a rider for the bulk of the mowing. My lot isn't perfectly flat either, it's a little hilly (heavy slope off to one side in the back corner, and a heavy rise in the front yard to the house.)
I've been looking at the Cub Cadet tractors. Specifically the 42 or 46" XT1 or XT2 - looks like the price different isn't much between the XT1 or XT2 - around $2-300. Is it worth the upgrade? What are the major differences here?
Are there any other mowers I should consider? Of course I looked at John Deere too, looks like TroyBilt and the XT1/XT2 mowers are exactly the same minus color and badging. Simpilicty looks good too - but likely out of my price range as I am hoping to stay under $2,000
Thoughts?
