Comparison Brigs or kawi?

I know we are talking about what engine to choose, but why would you get a 36" ZTR? You can get a good walk behind 36" and be more flexible with where you can use the machine.

Tell me more. I was thinking I could do the couple acre lots I have taken on for this upcoming year and still be productive on my residential lots but I am considering the 48" as well since I already have a 30" just means I will also need a new trailer since I only have a 4x8

I know it's a tough decision. If I were you I wouldn't even have a 30" mower for me and my purposes it's would be either 21" or 36" deck. I mean if you can use a 30" mower on a property then you should be able to use a 36" walk behind and go faster, use less energy and have more power to perform what ever task comes along. If you're mostly mowing small residentials and a few 1 acre lots I would stick with the 21" 36" walk behind combo as I stated before.

Ok I like your thinking! I get a good 36 walk behind sell my 30" get a fantastic 21"
So my wander is can I be productive enough on 1 acer + with a 36" walk behind?

I would get a 42. I use a 48 and carry the 42 for getting into back yards with gates. And a 21 for when needed.

RIDING MOWER DECK SIZE COMPARED TO YARD SIZE

1/2 - 1 Acre	The 42" deck would be appropriate
1 - 2 Acres	The 42" or 46" deck would be sufficient
2 - 3 Acres	The 46", 50" or 54" deck would get the job done quicker

RIDING MOWER DECK SIZE AND TIME SAVINGS

Homeowners with larger lawns may benefit from stepping up in deck size to reduce mowing time.

Deck Size	Benefit	Cutting Time (2 acres)
42" Deck	---	2 hrs.
46" Deck	10% faster than a 42" deck	1 hr. 48 min.
50" Deck	17% faster than a 42" deck	1 hr. 40 min.
54" Deck	24% faster than a 42" deck	1 hr. 30 min.
