Need a riding mower/lawn tractor: JD L125?

[texbaylea]

I need a way to mow less than 1 acre around the house and over a septic field. I am not trying to maintain a lawn and will my L3130 and shredder for the rest of the 20 acres. I may eventaully add a RFM but that will fit this need.

Is the JD L125 as good as the Consumer Reports says? I really don't trust CR to test the right things - too subjective. I don't want to spend a lot of money as I would not use it more than 25 hours a year. Right now I am hiring it done at $45.00 an hour and the guy doing it uses a ZTR and does not take the whole hour.

Comments?

No comment on CR.

I think the 125 is a good fit for what you discribed.
