What is the Best Riding Lawn Mower Under 2000 Dollars?

My first choice is the Husqvarna YTH22V46, a lever activated hydrostatic pedal transmission riding lawn tractor. I chose this machine principally for its power and versatility.

Plus it is remarkably compact, making it capable of easily dealing with most maneuverability issues in complicated yards and no trouble to store.

The YTH22V46 uses a 22 HP Briggs and Stratton Intek V-Twin engine with hydrostatic pedal transmission for variable forward and reverse speeds.

Built to last, the Husqvarna has a heavy cast iron front axle, which gives it excellent stability.

It has a cutting width of 46 inches and anti-scalp wheels to minimize the occurrence of scalping when mowing lawns that are uneven.

• Each type of grass has its own recommended mowing height.  Find out which type of grass (or grasses) your lawn has and mow to the appropriate height.
• Avoid removing more than a third of the grass blade length at any one time. A healthy lawn will survive an occasional close cut, but repeated close cutting will lead to a brown lawn and cause other unwanted side effects.
• Don't mow in the heat of the day.
• Mow the grass when it is dry to minimize clumping.
• Keep your mower blades sharp and balanced.
• Follow the correct fertilizing schedule for your type of grass.
• The grass in shaded areas under trees show be cut higher.
• Change the mowing pattern each time you mow to ensure that the grass grows upright.

Offering excellent reliability and performance, this Poulan tractor is very affordable, given its features, and my first choice. 

It has a powerful and durable 15.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine.  The 42 inch deck is constructed from thick gauge steel.  6 speed transmission enables you to control your own mowing pace and there is also reverse capability.

The mower has 15 inch front tires and 20 inch rear tires, and a turning radius of 18 inches.  The fuel tank holds 1.5 gallons.

My third choice for the best riding lawn mower is the Weed Eater WE-ONE, a gas powered vehicle with electric start.

I chose this machine because it is a high performance mower for a very affordable price. It is a perfect choice for those who have a small to average sized lawn and don't want to spend a great deal of money.

The Briggs & Stratton engine is more than powerful enough to cope with a small to average sized yard and the 26-inch cutting deck is solid, delivering a cut that is even and precise.

The WE-ONE has 3 forward and 1 reverse speed, making it easy to find a comfortable pace for mowing. There are superior mowers of this type, but nothing to rival it in this price range.
