If your time is valuable to you, go commercial zero turn. I couldn't believe the difference. I'm running a Grasshopper 223, and love it. My old yard was right at 2 acres to cut, and I could have it all done in less than 2 hrs. Thats including the trimming...which will be considerably less...
Yep. Mine was a 94. Went through 2 clutch masters cyls and 3 transmissions during the short time that I owned it. Bought it with 20k miles, all highway, and sold it with 50k miles, most off highway. Must have rolled across the assy line on a Monday...
