[Shop-talk] best residential mower

[Scott Hall]

It didn't matter much to me one way or the other--the dealer Deere was 
pushing $3,000.  That kind of money would be enough to purchase the army 
of Roomba-mowers and deploy them.  The H-D Deere was more expensive than 
the Husky and appeared to be the same mower.  Husky it was.
