Craftsman 42 in. Precision Cut Plus 20hp Lawn Tractor —
This tractor is a vast improvement over earlier models. fast, powerful, smooth and handles well. Great turning radius also. Crusie is also a nice feature. One caution. if you have to go across hills, the safety is a bit of a challenge. The tractor will shut off when you lean too far to one side. You may want to uninstall the spring that controls the safety.
Overall, for the money, you won't buy a better tractor.
