Even though it's more than I wanted to spend, I think I'm starting to lean toward the Hustler Mini Fastrac 36". I've got almost an acre of grass, but I have a fair number of scattered "obstacles".
My main goal is to get something I can keep a long while, and won't have to mess with too much.
The two main engine options seem to be the Kohler single cylinder 15hp, and the Honda 2 cylinder 16hp (which is $500 more). For almost the same price as the Honda engine I can upgrade to the Kohler single cylinder 17hp with a 42" deck, but I really don't need the extra 6" of deck.
What is the consensus for these 3 engine options? Is the Honda worth the extra $500, and how well will they be expected to last long term?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
