I also have to say craftsman. Although I wouldn't think anyone makes a bad mower.

Its not if its good or bad. Some like MTD are hard to locate replacment parts for. Thats why i suggested a lawn equiptment shop such as weingartz. You buy the mower and if there are any issues you go there and they have what you need. Now you cant say that if you buy from home depot or lowes. All they do it pull it out of a box and put it on the floor. finding parts 3 years later when it breaks is not their problem.

how big is your yard? are you gona cut your grass multiple times a day?

just go buy a plain ol craftsman(most have a briggs motors any way) IMO hondas are the best...but like above questions...your aren't in the landscaping business...

Stay away from FWD mowers. When the bag gets full you have less drive from the wheels.
I ended up just buying a used self propelled Craftsmen on CL for $75 when I bought my place and it works like a champ.

Are we talking about riders or walk behind? For a rider, Deere all the way. For a self propelled walk-behind, Zack had it right... anything with a Briggs and Stratton engine. I've had mine (Scott's brand from Home Depot) for 8 years and it's never failed to start on the first pull. Maybe this spring I'll even change the oil for the first time. If it's just for you to mow your own lawn, I don't see the point in spending $400+ on a walk-behind.
