Also, what brands do yall recommend?

How much grass you got to cut?

Get a Bush Hog zero turn. They come in various HP and widths. Some of the best mowers out there.

bout 2 acres. dont have to have a zero turn but figured it would speed up my grass cutting time

With 2 acres, i'd definitely encourage a zero turn.

my yard is pretty much open(no trees and bushes to go around). so thats why im also looking at regular riding mowers. how much you think i could get a good zero turn 20HP 42" cut for?

2 acres isn't bad at all. If there are no obstacles, I would save the money and get a regular ol riding rig. We have a 42" john deere with a kawasaki V2 engine and that thing hauls arse and doesn't bog down. Also easier to drink beer while on regular riding mower...
Zero turns are very nice when you have lots of obstacles. Regular riding ones are better for just cutting a square patch of yard with a house in the middle.

what does a john deere like yours run?
Posted on 4/4/11 at 9:59 am to slapahoe
I have no idea. My dad bought it 4 or 5 years ago. I do know that the same motor and cutting deck will be much cheaper on a regular riding setup than a zero turn.

whats yr thoughts on a Husqvarna? My dad has had a John Deere x300 for the last 6-7 years and has never had one problem with it. I might be best to just go with that one. The only negative with it is the turning radius is not very good

They make really nice chainsaws and stuff. No clue about the mowers. Basically, with lawn mowers, you get exactly what you pay for.

I have a john deere LA125, i wish i had gotten the 24 HP retrospect.

as you can tell i dont know much about mowers, but what engine is the best? I have always been told to stay away from briggs..is that true?

Kawasaki is the best I've fooled with. Kohlers are also really good. I tore apart a 16 year old kohler engine that had been ran until the mower fell apart and it still had absolutely nothing wrong with it. Not even carbon deposits on the cylinder.
ETA: Briggs motors are not bad, they just tend to be very very loud.
