Soon I will need to buy a good lawn and garden tractor and I know nothing about them. Our new house is on 1.25 acres and I can't even imagine mowing it with a push mower. I'd also like it to be capable of mounting a plow blade for the drive in the winter.

Does anyone have any recommendations of who makes good ones and maybe some to stay away from? Any other info you may have that would help me select an appropriate tractor would also be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Looking at the JD web site, I like the looks of the L120. It does have the 3 blade system with the 48" deck, so maybe I should take a closer look at the 42" version. They say retail is $2300, maybe I can find a local dealer that can do a bit better than that.

Looking again, they have the L111 with the 42" deck and only 2 hp less for $1800. That looks alot better.
