I have had a Kubota Diesel tractor since 1993. It still runs and looks like
new. They are just fantastic. I cut about 3 acres.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the darn thing. It is just
amazing.

The best mower is a cheap Snapper you bought off of Craigslist.  Easy
to fix when it breaks, relatively cheap parts, and lots of excuses to
sit out in the shop and tinker while you sip a beverage.

Consumer Reports seemed pretty fond of the JD ZTR mowers as of a
couple of years ago.  Note that the JD tractor you get at the Big Box
isn't the same as the JD you get at the JD dealer.

We have a JD 420 lawn tractor at work - it doesn't see regular use (or
maintenance) but it works every time.  We also have a Toro ZTR and a
JD ZTR - I wouldn't run the JD on a hill, since it doesn't have a seat
belt or ROPS.  The Toro does...  Both have been pretty reliable in
regular use.
