which lawn mower to buy??

My advice ???? Take the $3000.00 and pay someone to do your yard.... Leaves more time to work and play with your cars and family.... Plus you wont be making winter payments on a mower that you are not using..... This is not what I do but wish I did... By the time I Buy new blades every year $45.00 , New battery every other year ( $50.00 ) , Oil , oil filter, air filter , and spark plug, And $3.00 a gallon gas.... Not to mention any other needed repairs (Flat tires , deck bearings ) Plus my time... Am I saving any money ???? Not to mention I hate mowing...... BTW I own a Cub Cadet non ztr mower and its a POC.... Just like any other mower at Lowes or Home Depot !!! JMO..... Cheers..

I understand your point but I have a pretty good size yard so $3000 won't even pay for doing it for the 2 yrs. I will be paying on the mower. That's why I want to have my own mower. I kinda enjoy cruising on the mower anyway. I looked at them at Lowe's too and you could tell they didn't even use wrenches to tighten the handles. Just flopping loose. Pitiful!! That's why I'm buying for a local lawn mower shop. Wow, you have to replace blades every year? I take them off and sharpen them and only on my second set on my 95 Simplicity. Hopefully I will get one that won't have many problems. My Simplicity has been fantastic. I'd buy another but I haven't seen them in Zero turn. They might make them but there's no dealers around me anymore. Thanks for your input.
