Hustler SuperZ 60" with the 27hp Kawi motor. Roughly 7 acres every time i mow our yard.
Ahhh weedeating sucks! I cut my grass & pay a guy to weedeat.
We cut 3 acres a week, with an additional 5 every other week. We had a 42" residential snapper, used to take about an hour an acre and we were constantly replacing parts on the deck. Upgraded to a 60" JD commercial about 5 years ago and cried while cutting the check, we are down to 30-45 minutes per acre and other than blades and an oil change annually no maintenance required. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
I know JD isn't on your list, but the lesson is buy more mower at a higher standard than you think you'll need. Spend your weekends doing what you want to do, not what you have to do.
Determine your budget. Most models/brands in your price range will be very similar. Get one that can be serviced locally and quickly. Service does you no good if you have to wait for several weeks during the summer to get if fixed.
I can’t say enough good things about my hustler raptor sd. 5 years and it’s going strong. Cuts 2.5 acres a week. 1/2 if that twice a week.
