Lawn Mower Tractor dilemma ; TORO 16-38HXL or Yard-Man AN 5150K

Hi, You guess ; I need to by a mower tractor. I have 3000 m2/0.75acre to mow.



Why do I hesitate between these 2 models ;


- John Deere is too expensive



- They both cost 3000? ($3800)



- I will not mulch



- + for Yard-Man : 105cm vs. 97cm(Toro) cut-width , anti-scalp system



- + for Toro : better reviews on the Net/groups. Yard-Man usually tagged 'low-end'. Toro is one brand, Yard-man part of MTD... very confusing to have 5+ names to market mowers ...is this sustainable in the long run ? will I have parts for my yard-man in say 5 years ?



Any comment/help to help me make the right choice is highly appreciated.



David.


Chances are good that MTD will own Toro also in the next couple years :)
