ride on mowers

[InTheHole]

I have a craftsman 15.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine, 42" cut. The thing is 15 years old and the only thing I have done is oil, plugs, belts, sharpen the blades and install a drink holder.
I mow about 3/4 acre at a shot, if that tractor rolled over and died tomorrow it doesn't owe me a cent.

if the deck has wheels on it, are you pretty much avoiding the lawn scalping situation? i've read some reviews on all those mowers and some guys still say their lawn still gets scalped when they go over a crest.
