Went shopping today for a new lawn tractor. Stopped first at the big box
stores and Sears. Funny how all their offerings really looked the same -
just MTD's with different labels.

An independent dealer tried to convince me that Husqvarna's are a quality
product. If so, does it offset the 50% + premium over say Craftsman?

My lot is 1/2 acre so I don't need a major commercial level machine.
Just prefer not to wind up with junk.

It will probably last 50% longer and run 50% better. Compare features and
engines. Have the salesman point out the differences. If he is at all
competent, he should be able to give specifics of why one is better.
Material, drive design, etc.

Is John Deere better and alot more expensive, I thought they were best
from farmers that use them. A motor running 3600 rpm only lasts so
many hours, there is no magic.

The new JD mowers are not made by JD and are crappy with one of the
highest complaint records of any mower on the market. However the
agricultural products are made by JD and still have a pretty good rep.

Not entirely true, the LA series or Depot Deere is made back east, &
is as much a piece of crap as the others it sells beside. The X and LX
series are still made where and like they have been for years
