My brother's neighbor pissed off the guy he was paying to cut his grass, so he cut out and won't do it anymore! It sounds nuts but whatever.

I was trying to help my brother out by finding a decent mower. He really needs a garden tractor because he has like 1.5 acre land and a garden to plow. I even found him a good Wheel Horse garden tractor for $350.

But what did he do? He went to those crooks at the local lawn/garden shop (not Home Depot/Lowe's but a mom n pop shop) and they talked him into a Spartan brand 42in zero turn mower for $5200. They even included a trailer hitch and headlight!

I guess it's just my old skool-ness, but that price is very steep for the plot of land he has and what he needs it for? He could have gotten an older garden tractor for half the price? And parts/repairs would have been easier/cheaper?
