Ultimate Man's Machine

John Deere is the name most men dreamily mumble in their sleep as they picture themselves owning the finest, toughest, most day-in and day-out reliable lawnmowers on the planet. Deere's latest riding mower is the new GT 235E. Designed especially for people with large properties who might need to power up a chainsaw or other electrical tool too far to reach by extension cord, the Deere has an onboard gas-powered 1500-watt AC generator for power on the go. Items such as hedge trimmers, string trimmers, hand power tools and outdoor lights can be plugged directly into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet located on the tractor. You can even use the Deere's generator as an emergency power source during a blackout for such things as a refrigerator, freezer, heater or sump pump, offering peace of mind for homeowners who don't already own an emergency generator. $4649. www.johndeere.com
