I NEED to buy a need mower, Monday. We bought a JD 316 mower about 25 yrs ago and it worked well until about a yr ago and we had a few issues but fixed them. But last week the engine basically blew, not get to getting any compression. So we are getting a new mower. We have about 2 acres mostly yard with some trees to mow around and a couple small hill/banks. Nothing major. Thing is I don't have a lot of money to spend. So I looked at a new JD 140 at Lowe's and a new Husqvarna YTH24V48. I'm thinking the Husqvarna but in looking at reviews I thought I would ask to see what you all think. Pros Cons both ways. I'm open to other mowers, brands, just haven't looked at any. Don't really want to spend over 2k. And want a 48" deck. Any advice? Thanks!

I have a YTH 2448. Very good mower plenty of power and my best cutting 48 inch riding mower. I run mulching blades and side discharge. Does very good in wet grass.
Can not tell you anything about the JD as I just don't think they are worth the money so I don't have one.
Have you looked at cub cadet. I got a ltx 1040 last year very well built mower takes lots of abuse.
With 2 1/2 acres you might want to look at a used zero turn.

Zero turn may not be a bad idea. I know there are some that have the hustler raptor and love it. May be worth looking at.
