My 86 year old DM just told me she is going to buy a new riding lawnmower. She is healthy and in good shape for her age but I'm certainly concerned about this. My useless nephew who lives next door (I'm 2 hours away) will wind up mowing her lawn most of the time but he is totally irresponsible when it comes to taking care of anything and I envision the mower sitting out in the rain to rust or him forgetting to put oil in the crankcase. I gave her a riding mower about 10 years ago and he loaned it to one of his worthless buddies who returned it in bad mechanical shape. Nephew parked it in his yard until the tires rotted.
She really wants to enjoy taking care of her yard on nice, cool days and realizes her limits. I would at least like to guide her on the purchase and help however I can... any tips on type, brand? Budget is less than $1,500.
