Go to Walmart. Buy whatever they have. In 2 years, go back and get your replacement.

Post the question in the Outdoor Board (OB), if you would like answers.

Sure you got that right? You could practically use a weed-eater for that. My yard is typical and is about 9,000 sq ft that is sodded. I've got a push mower.

Is it hilly?
do you wash you mower as soon as your finished mowing?
is there lots of obstacles?

The wider the cutting deck, the more likely you'll scalp parts of your lawn if you have uneven or sloped ground.
Wait, what? Get a push mower and don't be a pussy.

I did 3 months of research before I purchased this one.
Here's why:
You want a Briggs and Stratton engine. The poster that recommended the Craftsman definitely is spot on in that the model he recommended has the B&S v-twin engine. I had no need for that much hp personally but that engine is very highly regarded.
All of my research online and after talking to several different people led me to 3 conclusions:
1. With the John Deere you are paying more for the name.
2. Craftsman is made by Sears and I have doubts that Sears is going to exist as a company for the duration of the warranty.
3. I heard no bad feedback from anyone on Husqvarna.
So, I did more research and learned that Ariens is made by husqvarna. They're all almost identical but for the decals. I wanted the hydrostatic transmission and ultimately settled on the 19 hp 42 inch deck version for 1199.00.
One thing to that I was real intentional about was purchasing one right out of the crate. I didn't want a mower that had been chained up outside for half a year, and did a bit of due diligence to make this so.
Good luck! I love my riding mower and it's turned my most dreaded chore into a joy.
