If you're on the ball through the off-season you may be lucky enough to pick up a good s/h GR1600 Kubota for not much over 2k. 36in cut, hydrostatic, direct collection, diesel engine, leaves a lovely finish, will lift wet grass, and is a pleasure to use. I bought ours with just over 300hrs on the clock, it's now approaching 800hrs and doesn't look, feel, or work any different than when I bought it. Routine servicing and a deck belt is the running cost to date.

 

It's 2005 so 11yrs old now and the deck is still as solid as new. By contrast I had a Mountfield before it which I think is pretty much typical of most of the domestic spec stuff. It was a good working mower but it was about 4yr old with 200 odd hours and I had to weld the deck in a couple of places already.

 

Big difference!
