Does anyone know about the Scotts ride on mowers sold at Home Depot? They're made by Deere, but are they close enough to the real thing for my (non-commercial) use? In particular I'm eyeing the 16hp,

I have one (sold as a Sabre by my Deere dealer). I have the 16hp single-cylinder 42" hydrostatic. I'd recommend spending the extra $$ for a v-twin engine. The single is powerful enough, but it vibrat

Couple of points that I've learned the hard way. The larger the tires, the better. Small tires get stuck easier. If your yard is flat and smooth, it doesn't really matter, but if you've got slopes an

The main reason is that I drive the Kubota a lot more, so I'm used to it. Secondary is that you can adjust your speed with both hands on the wheel, and every so often I'd like to change my speed whil
