I am looking at buy a new lawn mower. It will be needed to at three different locations no further than 2 miles apart. I will be transporting the mower on a trailer that 7 foot long and 52 inches wide. I would like to know the follow Should I get the typical tractor style lawn mower or zero turn. I am leaning toward zero turn just to the fact I've never had one and have always wanted one. I really have to other knowledge on the pros and cons of them. What brand? I would like a John Deere for just the name. Again, I have no other information to base my judgments on other than what seems appealing.

I have mowed my yard with a crappy Craftsman for years and with this upgrade I would be mowing 2 family members yard also. I just need a good, sound lawn mower for a decent price that fits my situation that will last.

Thanks!
