Re: Need new mower
Your decision makes a lot of sense. Cub Cadet, from all I've heard are great machines!...and yes...even better with the scabbard...
good luck with your purchase whichever it is!

I have a JD 190 series with 5' deck. Been good.
Cub Cadet snowblower seems good too. Try either.

Re: Need new mower
Go with whatever the best dealer you have around that you like sells. The relationship with the dealer is key. Good service, perhaps free pick up and delivery, priority repair service. All of those things matter. If the Cub Cadet dealer is tops in your area, that's probably the one to go with.
My parents had about 5-7 acres of lawn that I mowed at one time in the farms "heyday". I always had a spare in case the main machine had a breakdown. With a couple of acres, you might want to pick up a used garden tractor just in case. Look on Craigslist.

Re: Need new mower
I’ve been thrashing along with my $150 Deere John for four seasons now. It almost ended up on the scrap run last time, but then I looked at the cost of replacements. I’m waiting on a new coil and plugs to show up as it has no spark at the moment. If it starts, I’ll keep running it. If it doesn’t, I’m going to go look at a used Deere I found locally. I think it’s over priced, but it’s the best deal I’ve found so far.

Re: Need new mower
Grasshoppers are very pricey. I have wanted one for years. Finally broke down and bought a new one last year (52" cut). I have not regretted buying it, just wish I had bit the bullet a few years ago. Just didn't think I could justify spending that much in previous years. Hope this one lasts a long time - I am spoiled now and would have to have another.
