If this had been about a year ago, I had a practically new White brand tiding mower that I would have sold you for 250 bucks. It wouldn't stay running, so I sold it to a guy to fix. I would have found the problem, but I didn't have the time, and I had another perfectly good craftsman that has been a real workhorse for about 13 years now. If one fits your budget, go craftsman. With a three blade deck. They are much easier to adjust for some reason. And the 2 blade craftsman mowers like to leave high patches right in the middle of the deck where the bladed overlap. I imagine it has to do with the 14 hp engine bogging down when the going gets tough. But it is a real warrior. I helped a friend with a commercial lot one summer with it. I ran it for 12 hours straight a day for an entire week without any sign of trouble. And I even had to take it mud bogging to mow one area of one pf the lots. Didn't get stuck. Anyway, that's my input, even though you didn't ask for a recommendation, Haha. I love the craftsman mowers.
For a garden tractor, my friend that i helped out has a Kubota Bx1860. You can get all sorts of implements for them. But garden tractors are much pricier. He paid 10,775 for it.
