Any recommendations for a riding mower around $1500? I was looking at John Deere, Cub Cadet and Husqvarna

Cub cadet
But I'd look at gravely zero turns. For $1,000 more you can get a much better mower and they usually have 0% financing for 3-4 years.

I sell all three (depends on location for JD). Cub Cadet at that price point is a better buy.
JD and husqvarna went to a composite general transmission to save money. Cub cadet stayed with the hydro transmission.
Most independent dealers run 0% even Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, and JD and they are not as strict on the credit score.
I do sell gravely and for $1,000 more the zero turn is over priced. I can sell a person a Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, or residential JD for $200 less each size. The quality is tit for tat because there is really no money to cut quality. At this price point it all about which one feels better and which dealer will service you.

I bought one of the new Cub Cadet XT1s recently based mostly off of Johnnyrockets' recommendation. I've only used it 4x so far but I'm extremely satisfied with it. Extremely comfortable and does a great job. I have less than half an acre which is pretty much flat.

My experience with Cub Cadet is they are crap! Mine lasted only two years, multiple belts and blades before it blow up. You will more then likely be disappointed in whichever one you pick. They are all crap.

I have a J Deere from 2006. It has a twin cylinder and was about 1900 back then. Still runs like new after 5 battery changes, 3 belts and 2 sets of blades. I would go JD all the way.

I got the husq in that range last year. It's been all spades for me.

I'm in the same market. Any help would be appreciated.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the Hydrostatic transmission and the automatic transmission?
Cub Cadet XT1 42" cut is what i'm currently looking at

For that kind of money, you could buy several goats. You would never have to mow again, and it would be more eco friendly. I'll never go back to machine mowing.
