All the big commercial brands make a good product. I believe from 36" to ???? big.

If you do go the pre-owned route be careful and take your time. Most machines are used by landscapers who use them day in and day out....obviously. You need to get a trade-in or a machine with as few hours as possible...again pretty obvious.

I lucked out because the guy I bought my mower from thought he wanted to be a weekend landscaper. After 3 weekends he decided otherwise. The mower then sat for a couple of months and I snapped it up for $1200. Much better than $3600.

Good luck.
