Hello, I just bought a house with 1/2 acre land and my electric push doesn't seem up to the task. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on a budget riding mower in the 1k range? Opinions on the poulan pro and troybilt or any others? Thanks!

If the house is on a 1/2 acre look at a rear engine riding mower.
However there is nothing you sit on under $ 3000 that would be considered as good value.
Under that price you are buying a throw away, looks pretty but won't last.

I bought a Murray 40" rider at walmart in 2005 for $699, and still using it today.

One deck belt, one set of blades, air cleaner and oil changes and some home made chains for the hill I cut.

No problems!
