Need to grab a ride on mower for my 2 acre property as pushing a normal mower is getting a bit tiresome.
First of all, should I just go new and not worry about having to repair a used one with issues? Or is it better value to find a used one in good condition?
I'll probably pass on the zero turn mowers just in terms of cost.
Just like I would with road vehicles, I buy it based on the reliability of the engine. So for those with experience, what engines have you found to be the most reliable or one with readily parts available? What brands use which engines??
Brands? John Deere? Husqvarna? Toro?
Any other tips etc, as this will be my first ride on.
Thanks in advance.
If you're worried about reliability, I'd go electric. Not much can go wrong, no faffing with fuel and oil and filters and such. It'd take longer but IMO the lower noise would make it worth it.
