Monte, I just looked at May 2004 CONSUMER REPORTS where they tested lawn tractors. They rate the John Deere L110 first ($1800) and the Cub Cadet LT1018 ($1600) a very close second. They don't show the LT1042. The Troy-Bilt Bronco 13AJ609G ($1350)(no super bronco)was number 6 on the list of 17. The John Deere and Troy-Bilt were the two shown as "Best Buy". I like the Kohler on 17HP or above. That said I have never had a problem with a Briggs in my 50 years using them. I have a Kohler 17.5 in a 3 year old 42 in. cut Deere and a 12 Briggs in a OLD Craftsman (12 years at least) and the Craftman will cut grass just as good as the Deere, just not as fast becouse it don't have the more modern transmission.
