I am looking to buy my son a mower for his new place which he is currently using a walk behind to mow. It is about 1/2 acre and flat. I have never owned a riding mower. I use my Deere 4300 with a 72” rotary 3pt hitch type. I have done my research and feel that I would rather buy from my local Deere dealer than the big box stores. Also, they have dealer only models that fit right into the size mower I believe he would need. The S240 is about $600 more list price. But with a $200 rebate and a free 10p cart ($150), it’s really only $250 more than the E130. I like that it comes with the Kawasaki engine instead of the B&S. Any advice, comments and experience with the above models would be great. Thanks
