Can you recommend a brand and model of a riding lawn mower that is safe, dependable and has a smooth ride. We have a large yard (2 acres) and my husband has had a back injury.
We have a tractor but need a riding lawn mower to cut grass around the house. Which tractor will hold up with heavy use and be comfortable to operate.
According to the first link below, the John Deere X304 is the best lawn tractor overall.
Second link is price...seems pretty typical though this particular model isn't at Lowe's. Didn't look at Home Depot.
We got an old, second hand Craftsman from a customer. That rider was used on MANY big lawns while hubby had his lawn maintenance business. It was used for 5-6 years before it quit. I wish it was still working!
Speaking only for myself, I'd look into a Craftsman. I'm not fond of Sears, but I loved riding it and miss her sorely as we now have 3 acres!

The mower has all new belts on it also. No matter what you do, it will not go anywhere.
you might have loose or broken pulley. tension spring broke or not on. belts could be on wrong. trans axle in neutral and or need fluid maybe broke.
You may have internal transmission problems. Trans axles are not exactly what I would call "D-I-Y" friendly. They are full of iddy-biddy needle bearings that are a snap to loose, and are tough to put back correctly! As bad as I hate to say this, call the man who knows how to fix this!
Just wondering if someone is driving their riding lawn mower in their yard, while drinking beer as they drive it, is it considered illegal? Please no smart as* comments. I know it is for sure on regular roads/highways/other people's yards, but what about it being in one's own yard?
If you avoid public intoxication and stay in your yard, you'll be fine. Public drunkenness, or taking the mower off the lot will get you nailed.
My yard machine blade will not engage (38" Blade cut, 125 HP) it starts up, everything else appears in working order. I think it may be a belt or spring, because when i engage the lever there is no tention, as if a spring or belt is worn or broken. Would this be an easy fix job? I don't have mechanic experence? Does anyone know of any sites that would take me thru step by step on what i need to do to fix it or can anyone tell me how to fix it
125 hp? or 12.5 h.p.
give make and model number, so someone can maybe help ya.
