I am seeking advice for a good push mower for 1 to 3 acres. I would prefer a model that is self propelled and a quieter engine. I have looked at the new Craftsman Quiet Technology mowers with the Briggs & Stratton Quiet Power Technology but the reviews are mixed. Price is not an issue so I would appreciate any suggestions

Welcome to LawnWorld!
We moved your thread to the Mower & Equipment Buying & Pricing forum.
I have considered a riding mower but I have less general knowledge of riding mowers than I do of push mowers. The reviews I researched on the riding mowers often seemed contradictory If you have any advice/suggestions for a riding mower please do so

1-3 acres? Wow!!!
Just get the cheapest Poulan rider for now, and mow with it, it will give you good service for a few years at least. You could pay for it by getting a part time job with the time that you would otherwise be pushmowing....

To the OP: You didn't mention whether you are planning on bagging or not. This could be a significant factor in what you are going to get. Also, what is the terrain - larger wheels work better for rough terrain, in general.
Don't bang on TB to much. I think they have good equipment for a homeowner to use. However, mowing 1-3 acres, I think I would go a bit better built. John Deere has a X300 with a 42" deck for 2999 on their website. John Deere X300 with 42-in. Deck Lawn Tractor | JohnDeere.com
As to the OP, I don't think I would mow that much with a push mower. By the time you are done you would have to start all over again.
