  • / I am Looking for a good used lawn tractor mower any advice?
So I finally got settled in SC. I built a new home in the middle of this virus disaster. What a mess. Long story even shorter I am now back in the market for a Ridding Mower. Lot was full of huge Pine & Oak trees with roots galore still coming up & out on1/2 acre on a hill. The push mower is killing me especially with just patches of grass & sand for now. I will have to pull attachments also since new lawn. I am back looking at a good used Rider. In the beginning of this thread years back I was told the discontinued Snappers were the way to go. I have found a RER 33" 2016 they want $1300 but I am on the fence since going way over on my house & everything. Anymore advice would be helpful. Thanks ,Rick

I would buy that for $1300 but see if they would take a little less.

Not a bad mower for $1000! With some maintenance it should last you a while. Congrats.

Trouble is in the turns. If you try a zero turn most people just stop the inside wheel and this just screws it into the turf and tares it up. The best way is to make a three point turn and the same when you mow around something. Works for me. I also don't mow the same way every time and I don't have the patterns you get when you mow the same way every time
