Well looks like my old Murray 38" rider is about to get retired, starting to have one thing after another going wrong, getting tired of fixing it. Been a good old gal over 20 yrs old, it's one of the old Murrays, came out from them when they were made in Canada, before the company went belly up ,then re-opened. So looking at some new riding mowers, and looking real hard at the new Ryobi electric. Have had the Ryobi electric 20" push now for about three years. absolutely love it, really like the no belt, plugs, gas oil...basically no maintenance, so moving into the new Rider is very appealing, but $2499 price tag...oh my...lol. I know it is very new just coming out this year, but anyone got some experience or know some one with one of these. Still kicking it around, haven't made up my mind yet. The 38" deck is perfect, my old Murray is 38", it's about as big as I want to go, lots of rock gardens, trees etc...that pretty much only have the room for a 38" to fit between, usually takes me about 45 mins to do the yard, so the electric has more then enough to do it. The push is pretty much only used in the fence in portion of the back yard, small area, way too many thing in the way for a rider, rider needed for the balk of the open area yard which would take for ever with a push and way more then I would want to take on, hence need for the rider. Any comments opinions welcome
