I'm new here. We just moved into a new house with a 1.2 acre lot. Growing up, my dad was always a Deere GT and Kubota CUT kind of guy. I don't have that kind of cash to drop in a mower. Anyway I have narrowed my choices down to the GT5000 or the Husky 2548 from Lowes. I have read that these tractor are pretty much cousins. I have not been to the showroom yet to get a look at them, but from the web, it looks like the 48" deck GT5000 has a B&S engine and the 2548 has a Kohler. Am I correct? Am I looking and the correct GT5000? Or is the 54" deck GT5000 more in line with the 2548? Can you get the Kohler GT5000 with a 48" deck? I know both are good engines, but if you had the choice would you pick the 26-HP B&S or the 25-HP Kohler?
Also is the auto tranny GT5000 better/stronger/faster than the 6-speed GT5000?
Thanks for any info!
