There is NO WAY in hell I'd ever consider pushing a mower in our yard (about 3/4 of an acre all on a hill so zero turn is out) So...I got the old woman to realize we needed a riding mower.. It's a Craftsman T93000 (T3000 for most of us), basically the same tractor minus the wheel weights..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1jtzf80Nv4
Three years on I've had zero issues with it other than the deck support did slip off this year, but I fixed that problem.
One thing I NEVER use in a small engine is regular unleaded gas, instead I always buy alcohol free gas. Alcohol is not good for small engines. It'll condense and leave water in the tank over time.. Alcohol free gas cost more, but it's not like I'm riding the mower cross country or anything.. I go through about 8 gallons a years so that's not really a problem.. I finally installed mulching blades this year so I no longer have to rake clippings.
A few years ago I build a cart to drag things around the yard, mostly brush, etc..That was the best thing I ever built to save time and effort..wheels from an old wheelchair..
