OK, I Admit it. I overthink and over analyze things way too much - I have driven myself nuts over researching mowers for several weeks now.
I am looking to purchase a 42" Lawn Tractor.
I have about 1/4 acre, flat with a few bumpy tree root areas, just a few areas with shrubbery to turn around. My priorities are: Cutting/Mulching/Bagging Quality / Comfort / Ease of maintenance such as dropping the deck, belt changes, etc. / Dependability / Customer Support. Noise is also a factor, but not a show stopper. I have solid Deere and Cadet Dealers in my town. So, my contenders are:
John Deere E100
John Deere E110
Cub Cadet XT1 Enduro
Troy-Bilt Bronco (currently my last consideration, but am open to hear why I should change my mind on it)
I appreciate your wisdom and experience in helping me move forward!!!

That Cub Cadet might be some overkill but I like a bit better than the Deeres, even with that K46 hydro. Good sized tires/wheels, fab. deck, big Kohler twin, good warranty if there's a local dealer. But the price is something to consider too.
