What I Bought

I have 2 lawn mowers.

The first, which I now use for trimming, is an MTD gas powered push walk behind lawn mower with a Honda engine .  It is an amazing mulcher and, with the Honda engine, starts the first time every time.  I live in a cold climate and store it outdoors.  In the spring I take it out of storage and it will start on the first or second pull.  After that it always starts on the first pull.  I did install a set of after market mulching blades which improves the mulching - it does great on grass and on leaves in the fall.  I no longer rake leaves - I mulch them.  Where did I get it and what did I pay?

 I bought it at Sam's Club for $200.  $200 for a great mulcher with a Honda engine - I'm thrilled.  The only mistake I made is not buying self-propelled.  The mower is fine - I'm just getting lazy!

What is my other mower?

My other mower is a John Deere LA110.  It is an automatic drive riding lawn mower - lawn tractor.  It starts quickly, turns on a dime and has a very comfortable seat.  I have a half acre lot and can cut it in as little as 30 minutes.  If I slow down and enjoy the ride it's more like 45 minutes.  It is a very good mulcher but not perfect.  If the grass gets too long I run over the yard twice and then all the grass clippings are mulched and invisible.  I am very pleased with my John Deere.  Where did I get it and what did I pay?

 I bought it at Lowe's who is an authorized John Deere dealer.  I paid $1350 during an end of season sale and a Lowe's discount program. 

So shop around, surf the web and learn all you can.  In the end buy the performance you want.  After a few uses you'll be reminded of the performance you bought, not the money you saved.  In other words. a good deal on a bad mower is a bad deal - and you'll live with it for years.  Step up, get the performance you want and your happiness will guarantee it was a best buy lawn mower for you and your lawn.
