The mower I am thinking about is a Husqvarna YTH20b42. It is a 2006 model but looks identical to the 2011 model. The guys says its been garage kept and it has 290 hours on it. Nothings wrong with it. I brought him down to $600. Should I take it?
What do you think?

I think you may be jumping ahead of yourself, Outdooz.
You mentioned in another thread that you don't need to use the mower until next spring -- so you have time to think this thing through and search for the best deal. And there are bound to be some exceptional deals on mowers on CL in the next few months.
I haven't seen a really clear picture of what you'll be doing with the mowers. What's the typical yard like? Size? Level or sloped? Number of obstacles?
I also haven't heard that you have a push mower. You'll need one of those for places that the rider can't reach as well as backup. Has that been figured in, budget-wise? I liked the suggestion, in the other thread, that you start out with a push mower -- although I'd say get an older two-stroke mower (preferably commercial-grade, if you can find one). Those are much better machines than anything sold new today.
Sorry I can't offer anything specific about the Husky model you mentioned. Did you look in the Husky forum?

If you've been watching for a month, that's a pretty good sample.
What about the push mower? You will need one of those - regardless.

Yes We have one currently. But its the smallest they come, thats why i need to get something bigger for the majority of the yard.

I'd be careful, you're talking about a mower that's five years old and you could be buying problems. That mower now sells for $1495 new. Are you buying the mower from a homeowner.
