Tractor Advice Needed!

I just got rid of a JD D140 that was starting not to pull the hill in my backyard. It lasted 2 summers or about 20 hours. After some research I figured out it's the transmission. I keep seeing the k-66 is the trans to have. I'm welling to spend up to $5 to $6,000 if I need to. I only have about 1 acre. There are no trees only grass. I don't need to do anything but mow with it. I don't care what brand. Just want a reliable riding mower that can handle the hill. Only thing a want is a bagger. Thanks for any advice.

I know zip about ZTR's, but from comments that I've read, they don't seem to fair all that well on hills. They may have twin hydros but they are geared quite a bit higher than LT's/GT's and those hydros operate at a lot higher pressure when encountering slopes. High pressure equals high heat, which is what killed the D140.
