Who am I to argue. He's pretty frugal and will settle for the cheapest thing on the market, hence the murray.

I may look into some sears clearance centers and check it out.

Thanks
$40 a month? You sure? It takes me about $50 a time for them to mow my lawn in the city. I have 13000 sq feet with a house in the middle which means about 10000 sq feet. At $50 a time, my Kubota is a bargain because I use it for pushing snow.

Frugal means getting value for your money too. If you buy the cheapest thing on the market (You get what you paid for) and have to replace it ever 3 years, have you saved anything?
