The folks have both a few year old John Deere, and a 30-some-year-old Allis-Chalmers. truth be told that ancient Allis Chalmers tractor was probably the most reliable, rock solid tractor ever.

You've seen my yard, so you know I don't need a riding mower, but I've had good luck with Husq's and TB's. I'd suggest looking on CL for a used 'ride on' Husquavarna or Troy Bilt mower. You can usually save a grand or so, depending on how many hours are on it. We're in a REALLY good area for used landscaping equipment. Lawn service companies go in and out of business all the time here. It's one of FL's biggest industries.

Edit - It's a Deutz-Allis; Not an Allis-Chalmers
