So what is a good reliable/easy to maintain/easy to run & learn on? I've seen a few older Honda, Wheel Horse, Ford, Simplicity-and it seems like people LOVE those & are not so happy with the newer models.

The category you are seeking information for is the Lawn & Garden Equipment category. T-B-N has one forum dedicated to this broad category:




Lawn & Garden "tractors", perhaps better titled as "riding lawnmowers" almost always share the following attributes:
  • less than 600 pounds machine weight
  • Gasoline engines rather than diesel engines
  • Two wheel drive (2-WD drive)
  • World standard Three Point Hitch absent
  • Front End Loader (FEL) absent
  • Turf/Lawn Tires
The combination of 2-WD, low weight and turf tires can make operation on hills difficult due to lack of traction. Lawn & Garden tractors may be tippy on slopes.

I would like the ability to haul rocks/dirt/wood etc from one side of the yard to the other.

You may tow at 2 - 5 bushel capacity, dump capable cart, connected to the mower rear drawbar with a pin, across flat ground.

VENDERS: garden tractor cart
