    It's weird, the specs on those 2 look pretty much the same (not a machine/gear head, so...) yet you're paying JD 4K extra for what exactly? The green and yellow paint?

    Lol my uncle was in the JC feedstore, they're a Stihl dealer, and I can buy a $19K zero turn mower right there. I had no idea Stihl made mowers.

    I'm going with the heavy duty John Deere, I think.

    The robot lawnmower with the incinerator looks a little suspicious.

    1957 prototype of an air-conditioned mower that sadly, never made it into production

    Well, alright dammit, I've been talked into a zero-turn, which does absolutely make the most sense but my general stubbornness made me hold out for a bit.

    Kubota? Deere? I don't know who else, but that's what I see the lawn crews using around town.

    eta: and poor little innocent me thought ~8K was a lot for a lawnmower, 20 years ago you could buy a pickup for what I'm about to spend

    Anyone buying a lawnmower needs to get it from a dealer not a big box store- Talk to the people and get the vibe about service - Are the prices reasonable- compare different places and talk to the business- You will Quickly get an idea on who you would prefer to do business with I would put that over the brand - A place that will service your $8,000 mower with expertise Is actually more important than the brand.
