Hi. I'm in the middle of researching which lawn tractor to buy. As you well know, it's a jungle out there! I'd welcome your opinions on this.
Here are my immediate needs: mowing a flat, Kansas yard that is maybe 1-2 acres; pulling a mini-spreader (horse manure) whose specs require 15HP lawn tractor or ATV; and perhaps some light duty towing (wheelbarrow).
Troy-bilt has a new 18HP, 42" this year called "The Tuffy" that can be had at Lowe's for $999. But I've only found very sketchy information about the brand since MTG took over. And Consumer Reports has no information on Troy-bilts at all.
The other option for the same price range is the Craftsman LT 1000 (Mfr: 27275) which rates really high in Consumer Reports.
Eventually, I will need a full-size tractor, but for now, I am hoping a lawn will do. What do you think?
