    Which lawn tractor should I buy?
    I need to replace our tractor, and I'm looking for some input. My initial parameters: I need to stay with a 42" deck (to fit in the shed), and am leaning towards another twin-cylinder.

    We've got a hilly 3/4 acre lot that gets mowed +- once a week, always followed by towing the sweeper to get clippings. I occasionally pull the broadcast spreader, and I often hitch up a simple dump cart (for mulch, firewood, etc).

    So... what's the smart money buy?

    For my $$ I would get the LA120 John Deere.

    FYI, I went with a Craftsman DYS 4500. 42", 24hp twin B&S, 6-speed, normally runs $1800, got it on sale for $1500. The lowest I could find a comparable Deere LA120 was $1850 (21hp but a Hydrostatic).
