Need input: I have .75 acre of relatively flat property to mow, and for the past year and a half I have been sucking it up and using a 21" push mower. My time is too valuable to be wasting nearly 3 hours a week keeping it cut.
Budget: ~$2,000 or less.
Recommendations? I have read a bit of various forums and experiences. I have John Deere, Husq, and Simplicity dealers in my area, as well as other big box options.
Chime in your personal experiences with success/failures on brands, parts, service, etc.
