We recently (like a year ago) built a home on 3 acres...we tamed the wilderness ourselves with the help of a tractor/front end loader/shredder. The lawn is now established with actual GRASS, but there is an area of some thorns, etc...but for the most part it is civilized. I made my husband get rid of the tractor as we are done with the heavy lifting, gravel moving and such. Until now, the mowing was done (since we have finished with the shredder) with a ride on mower that I have run into the ground...we bought it for like $800 bucks. My husband rebuilt the deck a few weeks ago because I literally drove the thing around here like I was on a go cart, chopping up anything in my path. But the thing corners like an 18 wheeler, and around the house my husband has to use a push mower because we have a bunch of landscape rocks and such....and SO MUCH WEEDEATING because I cannot get around all the trees.
SO. We need a quality (read STURDY) zero turn. It does not have to be attractive. It doesn’t have to pink, green, or purple. I don’t care about comfort (in fact, he says if it is bouncy I might slow down). I do care that the lawn (Bermuda) looks good and that I don’t have to lean into the turns and that it will chop someone’s leg off and never look back (we don’t have children). I mean, it has to chew rocks, man. Just because we have tamed the wilderness won’t mean I won’t look down at my iTunes and run over a boulder.
Price is obviously a thing...but we will spend what we have to to have a machine that lasts more than a week under my direction. All the ”review“ websites I have seen seem to be very ambiguous. Any sage words of wisdom aside from the obvious ones of “slow it down, girl!”?
Thanks!
