well I finally pulled the trigger on a new lawn tractor

I have been looking feverishly for a decent lawn or garden tractor to take the place of my old Toro 16/44 HXL.. I looked at the Cubs , Simplicity, Snapper and the smaller Massey's.. The local dealer had a Snapper LT 2250 for 2699 and I thought that was a decent price.. I called several other places and where all within 50 dollars of each other. Wife suggested I call this other shop maybe 25 miles away. I asked if he had that model and he said " sure do'... and his out the door price was 2100 even... Nice guy he works on tractors and mowers in a building next to his house and also sells different products too.. Hopefully it will give me years of service..
