hi, thanks but the craftsman have never had a good reputation for performance and durability? what are your thoughts. looking to spend approx $1000
What are one of the top mowers you see the most of? Craftsman.
For $1000 it does not matter what new mower you get they will all be the same.
Even buying a used mower to cut 3 acres and to pull a cart your not going to get anything that will last.
I would look at getting a used MTD garden tractor with the high low range transmission.
What ever brand you go with I would get a garden tractor.
Craftsman makes some good lawn or garden tractors.
