 Home Depot used to offer a deal where if you were moving, you could sign up for something on their site and they'd send you a 10% coupon.Comment

 Here's some good advice. Don't do this.

 Re: Riding Mower Advice Needed
 
 Whatever brand you get, I highly recommend one with a hydrostatic drive. Basically, you don't shift. You just have one lever/gas pedal that controls your speed. Further you move it down the faster it goes.
 
 This will save you a ton of time because it allows you to slow down w/o having to stop and shift to a lower gear. Having to stop every time you need to downshift or upshift is a pain.
 
 Also, FWIW, I had a yard about the same size as you have. When I first moved their I used my grandmothers john deere which had a 38" cut. I bought one that was 42" and it cut about half an hr off my mowing time. Now, my yard was a pain to mow so that 4" might not save you a full half hr but it's something to consider.Comment

 Re: Riding Mower Advice Needed
 
 Like I mentioned before, the Hydrostatic drive is where it's at. I agree with the other people in the thread. I love not having to use the brake, plus if you ever want a woman (or someone unfamiliar with mowers, doesn't have to just be a woman) to use the thing, they won't be so nervous about it because it works like a car. Take your foot off the "gas" and it stops. On the riding mowers I grew up with it was easy for it to get out of control if you weren't really familiar with the mower.
 
 I also have a 42" inch deck and it has saved me so much time, which as I stated earlier was the real reason for me getting a riding mower in the first place.PSN: Koolie_G
