Buying Advice I am up for a new tractor , about 2000 bux . Milwaukee.

[lendonges]

I have looked at Sears ( Rusty welds and brand new , the plastic does not rust ) and a Snapper rear engine ( 1,600 dollars . )
The rear engine 14 year old Sears I have , is in trouble . Again.

Does Simplicity/Snapper argue over warranty issues ?

I have looked at the Regent at about $2000.0 and the Snapper rear engine at $1500.
Are there any bad reviews about for these machines ?

I read in the Snapper manual that they recommend the dealer adjusts the belts , why ? How difficult is it to change those belts and do the service ?

I have a quarter acre of bumpy grass and a mini hill my Sears can handle easily , the Snapper seems to be a much better machine.

Snapper does not offer the Sears deal with the no charge repair/pickup fee.

Any advice on Sears tractors and service ?


I do not need a huge tractor , I have used a 30 inch 12 horse for 14 years no problems .

Any help welcome , any advice on dealers near Brown Deer would also be welcome.

There's a brand new CTX2000 (Simplicity) at the local Sears outlet for $2200 marked down from $3700. This is a great deal and if you have a local Sears outlet near you I'd suggest you take a look there for a deal on something like this one or heck just have them ship it to your local store for a couple hundred bucks. It's a great deal either way.
