Your Opinions?
Neil and all:
Seems now that my B&S 12.5 hp blew up, I am going to need a new ride on lawn mower.
What would be the best of the Cub Cadets? I don't need an $8,000.00 machine to cut grass. The most I will be cutting will be about 2 acres, but there are hills that are pretty steep. My craftsman handled the job, but the 38" deck required a lot of passes.
Also, scalping was a big problem with the Roper deck and I really do not want to go down that road at all.
What I need is a ride on that will allow me to get a real good cut, no scalping (my lawn is not a golf course so it isn't perfectly smooth

), larger deck, and I am not sure whether I want Hydro or Manual transmission. All I know is that I do NOT want a Peerless transaxle for sure..
Ideas/input always appreciated.
