IF PRICE WAS NO OBJECT, WHICH MOWER WOULD YOU BUY???

Ok! I was thinking of asking this topic but I have some criteria for a new lawn tractor based on my yard and the need to plow snow in the winter...

1. Must be able to outfit with snow plow blade, chains and weights for 160 ft. X 10 ft. driveway plus some yard around the two main entrances;
2. I'm mowing 2.5 acres, some of it up to the 15 degree max slope, about half of that is relatively flat;
3. Would like to be able to manually control the mower deck/snow blade height when mowing or plowing with a lift-handle for various terrain mowing (lifting mower deck over high mounds where a tree stump has been covered over) and for lifting the blade as you push snow against a bank;
4. Easy to work on, simple to install/remove deck/plow, affordable parts
5. I'm not sure about the type of drive or whether you can even get belt-driven mower decks anymore since direct-drive seems to be more popular nowadays

I currently have an 18 yr. old Cub Cadet but in looking over the current Cub models seems like I'll have a hard time finding a similarly matched model.
What I'm seeing on the backs of trailers hauled by lawncare services are a lot of Poulan tractors - they look simple and fairly sturdy. Wondered what others think about them?
Thanks,

I have found out that one of our gasoline stations in our area has regular gasoline with out alcohol. I use it in all my things now even my truck, it cost about the same as hi octane gas but it gets improved mileage so I think it comes out about the same as 87 octane even at the higher price.

Our Farmer's CO-OP held out as long as possible but finally scummed to the political forces about six months ago.
