You don't like the Ferris? I know landscapers who love them.

Or, are you assuming you'll be able to get mower deck components from some vendor if B&S goes under? I have a 21-yr old Simplicity Legacy mower at the farm that's perfectly good as a tractor. However, the mower deck spindles and some belt idler arms are no longer available. When they go, the tractor will be useless as a mower.

I got tired of mowing my lawn and watching it die every summer, so I removed it and replaced it with new topsoil, wood mulch and succulents. Now I have a battery-powered push lawnmower that I no longer use. Fortunately, I have other yard tools that use the batteries that powered the lawn mower.

I'm not sure if you're talking to me, but the Ferris is mine. It's great and like I said, pretty much all the parts are industry standard. Commercial mowers are designed for about 2000 hours of use. Since I mow my lawn once a week, 8mo per year, that works out to about 60 years of life.

Almost 30 years with an AC Electric mower .... It still runs but is getting pretty shabby .... no gas, no batteries, just plug it in .... not really worth a pic ...
