: I am in the market for a new tractor, mostle for work around the yard. I need something that gives a smooth ride due to back problems. It seems the bigger tired machines ride better and am looking at garden tractors as opposed to lawn. Can someone give me some good advise? There are so many its hard to decide. Why are JD's so much more than murray or MTD? are sears any better than MTD or Murray? SHould I go Hydrostatic? HELP!!!!!!
Jim, unfortunately the old saying "you only get what you pay for", rings true! try looking for a left over 97 model Toro/Wheel Horse, I couldn't believe the price reduction on last years models. also don't rule out a used tractor. if your patient, some real good ones are around!
