Good Evening Everyone,
New guy here to seek some advice on a future purchase for residential use.
I live on 5 1/2 acres on which a little over two are maintained by mowing. Of the two acres, approximately 1 acre has some pretty significant slopes ranging from about 15-25 degrees and a very small section that is near 30 degrees.
I have a Husqvarna YTH 42 lawn tractor from my previous residence I use on the “flat” acre and use a 22 in Honda self propelled on the slopes.
At age 60, the knees and hips are starting to make mowing those slopes more difficult.
I’m looking to see if anyone could recommend a zero turn or stander that could manage most of the sloped terrain? I realize I’m going to need to step up into the commercial lines to find something that comes close to adequate. I prefer a 42-48 inch deck as I do have a few gates to deal with.
Budget? Would like to stay in $8-10k range or less. Much of that depends on the “sales job” I can do on the wife. ???
