Currently Sears is offering the biggest discount of any supplier on a $1200 - $1400 but I am a bit
scared due to the apparent corporate trajectory.
I believe the less sophisticated and fewer fancy features model is going to be the most pleasant to own
for the long haul and I personally believe all the hydrostatic and CVS transmissions to simply be
the cheaper to build manufacturing components. I bellieve the pure belt and pulley to be the best
and most reliable and then the good old fashioned real transmission with actual gears. I guess those
have disappeared because of hi expense to make.
Lowes, Home Depot and Tractor Supply seem to be the volume suppliers but I hear bad things about
almost every brands low/medium entry level rider mowers.
Then I look at SEARS and when going to their site right now their clearance model 42 inch rider has
a lot of negative reviews.... actually way more bad than good. That is a huge concern. I have almost
never paid much attention to reviews in the past but this time if they are bad perhaps they are not fake.
I would probably like to go back 15 or 20 years and buy a new Snapper that was using only belts and pulleys.
