I bought a Husqvarna YTA24V48 24-HP lawn tractor at Lowes around 6-7 years ago and am pretty happy with it. Never had a problem with it (yet). B&S V-twin engine. Hydrostatic trans. I have a 1 acre lot. I mulch a lot of leaves in the fall so it get's a good workout. I believe Husky builds their own tractors in the states. I bought it on sale for around $1650 in the fall. No issues so far. It's on paar with the Deere tractors available at Lowes for a little less money. I think all the big box store tractors use the same engine and transmissions so check things like the construction of mower deck and front axle.
The professional grade Deere stuff is nice but pricey.
