He has a ride-on and I've been doing what I can with my push mower but I'm starting to get a bit jack of that.

Budget will probably be reasonably restrained, around the $1500-$2500 mark if at all possible (but could be tempted to go up to $3k for a good machine) and yes I realise this is well and truly in second-hand territory.

Here are some current examples in that price range on Gumtree:

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydn...wer/1320555801

Any particular brands/models to look out for (or avoid)?
I like John Deere. but I'm biased. Husky and Deere.
