I have 2 acers of grass to cut and a large Horse-riding ring 120'X80' to maintain. Cut grass once a week. I will be pulling a 4'X4' drag with a chain link fence behind it to dress up the Ring. I have been looking at some older mowers/garden tractor with a shaft drive don't mind something that needs work as long that parts are available. I am doing all this now with a John Deere with a 42" deck for the grass and a Sears mower (no deck) 12.5 B/S engine for the Ring. What are some of my options?
Advise on mower (Garden Tractor) to purchase.

I’m in Western Carolina where foothills to the Great Smokey’s is really spelled footHILLS so, my philosophy is always, “Shop The Transmission; and, the mower will follow”
Once I learned one mower choice within my price range at the time had the TuffTorq K72 in it, well, it was just a matter of choosing deck size (the steeper the hills the narrower the deck the more even cuts so, I went with the 48”)
transmission, Transmission, TRANSMISSION for me …
Best of success!
