You can get any of the proposed barnds, tho I would personallu go with Cub Cadet, which hasn't been suggested as yet... Yeah Kohler engines are real good, 'cept these days they have cast iron bores and not blocks, like the Briggs and Stratton and Honda...

But what I would recommend that what ever you purchease you also purchase a bagger with it... This is gonna give you a cleaner look, less clippings which can choke yer grass, make subsequent cuttings easier because you aren't fightin' thru last cuttings clippings AND you can use them to make compost...

Good luck, but get a bagger...
