So for 8 grand, how many times could you have your tiny 0.7 acre Ponderosa spread professionally mowed? And in that same time, how much fuel would you have to buy? These 0-turn mowers DRINK the fuel. How much would you spend on oil, oil filters, BLADES, computers going out, fuses and belts? Air filters, valve adjustments....... Failing hydros? $$$$
What I'm getting at is have your lawn professionally mowed. You sit ON THE COUCH drinking a cold beer with the game on. American's don't do manual labor. Sub it out to a needy family that "Sleepy" Joe Biden is "allowing" to live in your neighborhood.
Lastly with a 61" deck, you would park the mower in the middle of that spacious 0.7 acre lot. Turn the blades on once then shut them off. Put the mower back in the garage.
Get a couple push mowers. One for you and one for the wife. Great way to SPEND TIME TOGETHER and is SOOOO romantic. You can say you were thinking of her. ??? You won't have the massive ruts in the turf. Cost waaaaay less on the machines. Use less fuel and maintenance parts.
P.S. Don't forget you need a truck and trailer to get the 0-turn to the mower shop for repairs.
