I have a house with about 1 acre of grass but it's very hilly and uneven so right now I am using a push mower but it stinks because of all the hills I have to push up and down, etc. I also have a raised septic in my front yard, so my entire front yard is this really big mound that I have to usually cut going along it so the lawnmower is on a slant the entire time.
Anyhow, I want to get a ride on lawn tractor and was wondering what some of the differences are between like the John Deeres (very expensive), Sears Craftsman (Good value), etc. I also will need to use the tractor in the winter to plow my 100-foot long driveway, I live in northern NJ and we get a lot of snow here in the winter. Currently I am using an ATV with a plow on it for the snow but I will be getting rid of that soon, so I want a tractor that can replace these duties. The other thing I would want the tractor to be able to do is pull around a cart full of dirt, etc. I have a cart right now I hook onto my ATV so when I am moving around dirt, etc. it comes in very handy. I want the tractor to be able to handle this now if it can.
Any recommendations on what would be some good models to consider, and also some comparrisons between what better things you get for paying more money. Because right now comparing the John Deere against the Sears online, I don't see many difference and the Sears is much cheaper.
Thanks everybody!
