I have just moved into a new home with a little over an acre and a half of land. The land is relatively flat and has close to 40 mature trees. From what the neighbors say, the trees will drop leaves all fall and winter long and are a chore to keep up. My neighbor recommended a lawn tractor with 17 - 20 HP and a rear bagger (he has that setup on his craftsman). This will be my first major lawn equipment purchase and I would like to get something I can depend on and that will last for many years. Any recommendations on what I need or should get? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
