I think we talked mowers a few weeks ago. I bought a JD 54" Zero turn for this place. My place has a lot of slopes, side slope, trees, etc...
In addition, we bought another three acres I mow every other week or so. The grass gets cut higher its usually wet and becomes a mess to clean up.
The mower is stored in the basement shop so if I don't clean it up it can smell like old wet grass.
Checking with my two neighbor buddies with similar landscape and they all have Grasshopper diesel front load mowers.
I found one for sale a 2017 with 280 hours. I go get it Monday.
Yes, they are pricey but in the long run it sits lower to the ground and with the extended front end is more balanced for the side slopes I have to deal with.
Another great feature for me is the push of a button the front-end folds up for easy deck cleaning.
This will be nice!!
