What mower for 1/4 acre?

[qwerty11]

My home has around 1/4 acre of grass. I'm wanting to spend around $1k for a mower so that pretty much limits me to a Toro TimeMaster or a 42" rider. What would be best for my situation?

Thanks!

My choice would be the Timemaster. It's light, cuts well, easy to maneuver, fits through any gate, doesn't take up a lot of space.

I would take a serious look at the Toro model 20384. Yes I know it is a 21" unit, but with only a 1/4 acre to cut in my opinion 42" is over kill and a with the price difference you will have enough left over to have two drinks of your choice after each use.

I agree a 42 inch is overkill
I would get a good 21 inch.

With only a 1/4 acre your looking at 15ins with a push mower

Now I think you could do the job a lot faster with a 61in ZT. You should be able to get the complete job done less then 5 minutes from starting the mower to putting it away.

Its not going to be much different then the 42in rider, what is that about 2500 sq. foot. I would say to be realistic would be a small rider or a self-propelled mower.

Looks like yall are trying to chase new members away.
If you're going to do it, do it right :biggrin:
