hi there-<br>Most of the mowers I have are used; I mow on a part time basis for the last 5 yrs. due to health ins. for my family, but hopefully we will go full time this spring with the good Lord's help.<br>Some places to look are the classifeds, in your town & in big cities nearby. Also look in the 'wheeler dealer' magazine / public.'s too; they are a good source. It depends alot on if you are full time or part time, if this will be your 'big mower' or just a mid size or backup mower, etc. <br>If you are full time, & have been for a few yrs. I think you should buy new; if you're part time like me, & can't afford new, be absolutely sure you buy a GOOD used mower, pref. with low hrs., good maint., & check how bad they beat it. If most of the paint is scraped off the deck from hitting things, or been covered up by paint(easy to spot), bald tires, look elsewhere. If you can find out who used it, that's important, too.<br>Hopefully you can find one the owner used; crews are hard on equip. cause they don't care- it's not theirs.<br>Used can be great as long as it's still got life left in it; also check dealers for demo units or trade ins! Good luck.<br>Smitty ô¿ô
