I am looking at looking at buying a garden tractor. A Husqvarna 2354GXLS (23hp 54" Deck) vs. 2754GLS (27hp 54" Deck) vs. Craftsman’s GT5000 (26hp 54" deck)

I am not pulling or plowing anything just cutting over 2 acres with a slope (some parts about 45% sloped).

One tractor is 23 hp with 24"x12" rear wheels
One is 27 hp with 23"x10" rear wheels.
The Craftsman is 26"hp with 23"x10" rear wheels but goes 7.5 mph

They all have the hydrostatic transmission and 54" deck.

I have heard that Craftsman’s and Husqvarna are made by the same company, not sure if that is true.

Questions:

Is there a big difference between 23hp and 27hp (horse power)? I currently have a 17.5 hp that is not good on the slopes.

Since they are very similar, should I be looking a hp, speed, tire size, or brand?

Thanks for the replys.

You WILL notice that HP difference on slopes. Also the bigger the rear tires the better. I wouldn't consider its speed whatsoever. Even with big fancy lawn mowers you have to go pretty slow to get a good cut.

I'm looking to purchase a new lawn tractor. After purchasing a Yard Machine last Sunday for $1000.00 and having the motor blow up after mowing part of my completely flat 1/2 acre I have ddecidedI would like ssomethinga little nicer. I have singled it down to a couple tractors and I need all of your help on picking the best buy for my money and the one that will last the longest. Excepting other recommendations Just stay around $1500.

1. Husqvarna YTH20K46. Kohler 20HP Motor. Auto Transmission. 46" Cut. $1600 with a 10% off making it $1440.

2. Cub Cadet LTX1040. Kohler 19HP Motor. Auto Transmission. 42" Cut. $1500.

3. Craftsman YT 3000. 22HP Auto. Auto Transmission 42" Cut. $1600.00

4. I have also been looking at the Craftsman LT 2000 series although I am not sure of the quality. I have heard some bad things about the Briggs & Stratton motors. The one I was looking at has a 19.5HP Briggs & Stratton Gold engine. 42" Cut. Auto Transmission. $1170. This is much cheaper... but again the quality thing. I don't want to be working on it all the time.

PLEASE HELP! I want to buy tonight :).

either the husky or the cub cadet but i would go with the husky they know how to build equipment
