I vote for Deere.

Inexpensive is not usally the one that is the cheapest at the purchase price.

We have had a Deere at church for @ 20 years. It rarely needs much in maintenance money.

My brother is still plowing snow and cutting grass with a 1974 Deere 140 i sold him when I bought my new one 8 years ago.

I'm mowing with a Deere 285 now with a Kawisaki water cooled 18 horse...It's flawless.
