    I guess call me lazy, who wants to stand for a 4 acre yard?

    Who wants a four acre yard? I’d spend $1000 on fence, get a cow and be done with it.

    I have a 60” Badboy and have about 6 acres I keep cut, has it for 2 years and it will cut circles around the cub cadet and husqvarnas I’ve had.

    Yeah, get some goats. The boys will have a blast chasing them around, roping them off of their 4 wheelers. Plus, it’s easy to to wack one over the head and carry to a processor.

    Going to check out whitleys. They ain't terribly far. Dealers around me are Kubota, toro, grasshopper, and spartan.


    Has anyone seen the Spartans? They look sweet and have a lot of high end feature, just not sure if they will file chapter 7 in 2 years and be gone when I need them

    I used to cut 6 acres at my parents house when I lived at home with a 6' woods mower on the back of a new holland. Would take me roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes. They bought a toro z turn in 1999 and my time went down to 1:55 minutes

    We run gravely's and one Bad Boy. They both hold up well. We prefer the gravely's, but really you just need a good dealer with whatever you choose.

    Grasshopper made a dang good machine. Havent looked at them in recent years, but I am in the market also, and I will definitely check them out. My folks' Grasshopper is over 20 years old amd the best machine Ive cut with. The front articulating deck is awesome.

    Dealer about 15 minutes away sales grasshopper. They are pretty sweet. I see a lot of them on "professional" grass cutter's trailers. Could you imagine how many they would sale if they weren't so ugly

    Cousins husband cuts for a living and swears by JD. He has a 920 and 930. I need to go use one of his. I'm not sure why but I've never been a JD fan

    You just got your answer. Get the one that comes from a local, reliable dealer that will stand behind and maintain it.

    Hopefully there isn't any 'Muddy Bay' type dealers in zero turn mower business.

    We have two scags and just bought a Toro. I like and dislike things about both of them. The scag can cut through anything but are heavy. The Toro is the roughest riding I've ever been on but the seat is more comfortable and it blows taller grass out more evenly. Doesnt clump as bad. Overall I would choose the scag. Whatever you get dont get anything over a 60" deck or they will scalp bad.
