I'm buying my poor father a tractor for father's day so he doesn't die of heatstroke while push mowing his 1 acre lawn. I own a Craftsman twin cylinder 21HP tractor that I bought in 2001 and haven't had any problems with it other than replacing the deck but I’m hard on tractors.
I'm going to get one of 2 tractors and would like your opinion. If you were my father which one would you like to get for father's day?
Craftsman 19.0 hp 42 in. Deck Lawn Tractor
Sears item #07127518000 Mfr. model #27518
Link
OR
Cub Cadet 19HP* Kohler® Courage™ Single Cylinder Engine
Model #: LT 1042
Link
I can get either tractor for about $1,300.00
I prefer a twin engine tractor with more horsepower but don't believe he'll need it. He has a very flat 1 acre and isn't rough on tractors like I am so I believe either of these will do.
Any guidance or advice or personal opinions would greatly be appreciated.
