My old lawn mower is rapidly dying and I've
purchased a
one acre piece of ground and will build a new home
soon...

SO, I have decided to purchase my "first" riding
lawn mower.

I have looked at John Deere, Sears, Home Depot and
Lowe's.
They all look the same (except for size of
course).... AND
they all seem to be powered by either a Briggs and
Stratton engine
or a Kohler engine.

Some are a single cylinder and a couple with 2
cylinders.

I would appreciate any opinions on which offers
the "best price/value"
and low maintenance options.... I would hate to
make the wrong decision
when spending that much money on a lawn mower...

THANKS!!
