Spring time is near and i'm buying my first brand new lawn mower for my first new house. I'm very excited to do lawn work but I can't decide which mower to buy. I was hoping that everyone here who owns a lawn and does yardwork or has any experience with these mower could please give me your opinions or advice. All the mowers cost about the same at around $400.
Husqvarna 55R21HV 5.5hp with a Honda motor. side discharge, rear bagger, and mulcher. ball bearing wheels, one lever deck height adjuster.

Lawn-Boy with Duraforce commercial 6.5hp 2-stroke motor with basically all the same features of the Husqvarna

Cub Cadet with 6.5HP Kawasaki OHV Engine, & Electric Start which none of the others have.

Craftsman 5.5hp with Honda motor, pretty much all the same features as the others, except front propelled instead of rear, which is the only reason i'm considering it.

All of these mowers have about the same features and all are self-propelled. So basically i'm looking for the best engine i can get. I have about half an acre to cut and can't use a tractor because 90% of it is hillside some of it is very steep. I really would have made my decision on the Husqvarna already except that it has the smallest engine. Other than that I liked it the best but I really want to make sure I get a powerful, reliable engine.
Please help!
