Ryobi and Craftsman both have electric riding mowers in the 2-4k range.
However, I believe they use lead acid batteries. They probably work fine
for lawn applications or a year or two, and could be swapped out for
Lithium packs with a new charger after they die.
I haven't recently seen a new lead mower offered. That's why I omitted
the "lithium" specification. I make every effort to avoid buying any
lead batteries.
This morning, I went ahead and ordered the mentioned Cub Cadet from
Tractor Supply, one of my preferred vendors. I avoid Home Depot. Just
over $3k with delivery and tax.
I have a local search going on my craigslist feed now as they are just
now starting to appear on the used market.

Yes, thanks. That was the high end mower I looked at a few years ago
with the "proprietary" battery/cells. At that time, they were unknown
I was, and remain, HIGHLY suspicious of "proprietary" batteries and
cells. And such secrecy.

They have an irritating website. But doesn't everyone nowdays.
More models now than then. As low as about $16k. Judging by
incremental cost, their batteries remain VERY expensive.
Having been burned by a ~$20k Kubota, I think I will continue to shop
for consumer grade stuff in the $2k-$4k range.
