I plan to buy a riding mower this spring for my lawn and was looking for some advise on what to get. The lawn is about a quarter acre, rectangular and just a few trees and out buildings, border fence and a couple trees to mow around. What type, size and brand of mower would you consider and why. Never had one but would rather do walking on the trap line. My suggestion is to hire it done. You can likely get it mowed for $50 or less. By the time you figure the cost of a new mower, fuel and maintenance, and if your time is worth anything, you'll be money ahead to have it done for you. Many riding mowers are worn out before they even pay for themselves. At least ask around and see what people will charge. Not even close to fact ,there are multiple mowers that are 20+ years old ,Don't buy big box find a reputable dealer ,Hustler ,grass hopper ,JD, dozens of mowers that are run with minimum cost 50 dollars a week makes a lot of payments and you still have equity when you finish . I dont know any mower that wont run 5years or more with a little maintenance

No offense, but spending $10k+ on a mower for 1/4 acre would be beyond foolish. I wouldn’t say that. I don’t have much more than that but I use mine for the garden and switch to a snow blade in the winter time. I also take care of my neighbors driveways as well. Free deer bacon, crappie fillets and home made peanut rolls for payment. Work smarter not harder. B
