Also just because it is made by MTD doesn't mean it is a bad machine. Most companies out there have different levels of quality and different names.

You know Black and Decker own Dewalt does that make Dewalt a bad product?

I have B&D angle grinder which is identical in all respects except the color of the plastic to my DeWalt (AKA De Wart) and both are made in China. They look to have come from the same injection mold. Being owned by B&D doesn't make it junk, other reasons make it junk.

I have some De Wart cordless that work OK but Rigid has better stuff with better customer support and warranty. I wish I had never started collecting DeWart.

stopped by the hardware store today and caught the owner...

Husqvarna = Poulan Pro = Electrolux.. all the same companies he believed were owned by Electrolux.. I think my grandma had a vacuum cleaner from them.

anywho, his top tractor was list $1499, wholesale $1406 with 7 available in St Louis.

46" LAWN TRACTOR by Electrolux - More Riding mowers at doitbest.com

his top ZTR list $2899 cost $2699
23HP Z-TURN MOWER by MTD/Marshall - More Riding mowers at doitbest.com

so I haven't solved anything yet... if my savings are only a hundred bucks that really doesn't move buying from him at cost to the top of the list.
