Mine is a Simplicity brand lawn tractor. Other than the broken the belt 
over the weekend, it has been trouble free. There are lots of other 
makes/models to choose from though, and you want to pick something that 
fits your budget and is appropriate for the size of your lawn. I got the 
Simplicity at a locally owned small business near where I live. The 
husband and wife who own the place are nice people to deal with. I 
called this morning about the broken drive belt, and the husband came to 
my house and replaced the belt while I was at work today.
