So I looked at a Skag 46" and they are built like tanks. Really nice and I heard after lap bars you never go back. Bad Boy has a 42" deck. Any feedback on Bad Boys,,,,they look good too. Skag is offering a 15% discount for military. That's decent. Thanks for the info Born2mow & 7394. Hell...

Appreciate all the feedback guys. I'm too particular and 71 years old and just used to the tiny 30" Ariens Emperor rear motor rider. I can throw that thing up on it's rear bars and sharpen the blade with ease. That Skag 36" looks real nice BTBO and looks super built. But lap bars I don't like...

BTBO,,,,,,,,,,Thanks, I've heard of Skag, I'll check em out.

slomo,,,,,, I agree. Anything older is better made.

Appreciate the feedback. I have a Predator motor on a small tiller. It's great. I've been on an old Ariens 30" deck for 40 years and I'm really used to those rear motor, open front mowers, but cutting about 1 acre takes forever. Not a big fan of the zero turns either. Toro is about the only one...

a022mil,,,,,,, Thanks for the info. I keep forgetting about Vet discounts anywhere. I think I saw the Toro model. Not sure who makes the engine though. Some outfit in China is making the Twin-Vs for Exmark & a few others.

Hey folks, looking for a 42" deck on a good quality machine. Husqvarna and Exmark have a model, but wondering who else might have a smaller deck with a good quality build and motor,,,(Kawasaki, Kohler) Thanks for looking. Steve in Ky.
