I am new to this forum, so this is my first post. Please forgive me as I am sure that some of what I am going to ask has already been gone over before, but I did go back through a few pages of posts in search of my questions. So here goes:
1. I have a small yard, 75x100. Most of the time I have no problem following my Toro self propelled mower around the yard. It does an excellent job and I especially like the way it mulches. Problem is sometimes I have hip problems making it a little painful to perform this task. So I am thinking I would like to ride sometimes. Think I would like to spend about $2500. Now I know there are much better mowers out there, but really, for a yard this size how much mower do I need? The machine would mainly be for mowing, but would also pull a trailer, aerator, and de-thatcher from time to time.
2. I see there are tractor type mowers with the cvt type transmissions. Your thoughts and advise on these please.
3. I know this may be a stupid question, but does a two blade 46" deck have a faster blade tip speed than a two blade 42" deck? This would be for a same brand mower.
Now I will sit back and see what you guys have to say. Thank you for your patience.
