It's tough finding prices on this stuff.
Yes sirLolol....friggen awesome!
Ill bet, if'n its a fairly clear acre it takes ya 45 min from start up to clean up and put away.
Our new place is an acre, with a ton of grass that I'll need to cut.
I'm sorta looking forward to cruising around on a riding mower.
Other than a cupholder, do you guys have any suggestions on what to look for?
Good brands and models?
I know literally nothing about them.
What do you think I'll be spending on a decent one that's built to last?
Ahhh - eBay. Not an option for us. Does yours have a hole in the deck under the oil filter? Ours don't, do when my guys pull their oil filters they get a bit of a mess.I've had a Ferris 61" cut for 5-6 years,and it's been an excellent mower. I mow 2.5 acres with it.
Getting parts has never been an issue with me,I have always found them easy/cheap on ebay. Other than replacement blades,the only thing that has ever broken on mine was a safety switch and the blade engagement switch.
The grease fittings are easy to get to on mine,and changing the oil and filter is easy and not messy.
As far as the cost goes,it was the best $8k I ever spent on a mower.
Ahhhhh....something I forgot to mention and needs to be considered.IF you land is flat and mine is NOT then the zero turn will work for you, but it won't work on my place
The Husq that I gave the link to is in there Husq commercial line, friend of mine has this model and he owns 29 rental homes and he uses it to mow the yards with, many of his rentals are rural property and he loves it. It is available at Lowes and you can get a add on 3 year warranty. It is not a stock item but special order and Lowes backs up their stuff.I’ve got a lot of trees and obstacles so it has to be a zero turn.
And also looking at used commercial grade mowers.
We don’t move until the end of June so lots of time to research
