I recently bought a house with about 2/3 of an acre of land with about 30 trees big and small. Land is all flat with some plants/bushes planted in a couple of locations. I have been researching for the past few weeks for a riding mower to do both mulching and cutting since my current setup of a push mower and 4 in 1 mulcher aren't cutting it and taking too long.
I found a local guy who fixes lawn equipment and selling the following in almost like new condition:
-Craftsman T3200, 2014 model with 48" deck and double hard bagger system for $1,100
-Craftsman YT400, 2012/2013 model with 42" deck and double mesh bagger system for $900
The guy has other riding mowers for sale too but they are too old for my liking. I also read that 3 blade decks (the T3200 in this case) may not be best for mulching.
Can anyone recommend between the two riding mowers with a focus more on mulching? Any other helpful information is appreciated as well. I did do a search on the 2 vs 3 blade systems on google and most of the results were for products for sale.
