I’m torn. 48” May work the tractor less but my tractor is about 56” wide which seems like it makes it harder to cut up close to trees and fences with a 48”
Easier than you think... get as close as you can on the first pass then take advantage of that hydrostatic transmission. Pull up parallel, press on reverse and back at about a 30 degree angle to the fence, and get as close as you want. Pull up, do it again (rinse, repeat), which is also how I often run my finish mower in/near fenced areas.
