I have half a reason to buy a riding mower.
The other half reason would be if it would also make a decent snow
thrower.
The prices I see for snow thrower attachments for riding mowers are
insane. I can buy a nice walk-behind for what most places charge for an
attachment.
Is there a _sane_ way to buy a riding mower (and I'd want the smallest
deck possible) that also has a bagging attachment AND a snow thrower
attachement - and buy them all AT THE SAME TIME, and NOT SPEND $5k for
the whole thing?

Not that I have found. Prices for a snow blower attachment for my lawn
tractor were close to the price of the mower.
I bought a very lightly used Simplicity commercial grade snow blower off
e-bay for $500.
A friend has a snow blower on his lawn tractor and it's a real handfull when
negotiating turns.
If you have a small lawn get a walk behind mower and a snow blower.
