How many acres total and how much of your money can we spend:0)
Now I know why you were looking at that Swisher 66" if you have two properties to maintain. You'll get some good recommendations but tell us more about what you are looking for
djdicetn, I decided to start a new thread instead of getting the "Swisher" thread all mixed up.
I am drawn to the Swisher because of the steering handles, due to my shoulder problems, although the ZTR will be driven by my wife most of the time. I also like the rear discharge system. (I had a rear discharge mower once, and it left less mess. I like no wind row.) As far as price, like most other folks, I want Gold at scrap tin prices. I am expecting to pay a pretty penny.
I don't know what I want other than that. What I see, mostly, are the ZTR's at Lowe's and Home Depot. We have a local Tractor Supply, that I go in, on occasion.
A friend brought his Kubota over, the other day, to help speed up the mowing. We were impressed. Before I got started good, he was finished. That is when my wife started talking about, and showing me advertisements about ZTR's. What ever she wants, she will get.
The area to be mowed can be more, (if she wants it), My Dad's place is 10 acres, with enough trees to eliminate mowing for hay, but, when cut looks like a town park (with no benches). Mine is 20 acres, I give a large portion of my grass to a feller for hay. I will be using the ZTR to cut the part, of both places, that she considers yard. She considers all out buildings as being in the yard. So, the yard is pretty large, at both places.
What else do I need to add?
Thanks for any help.
