I'll preface this by saying I hate mowing and lawn care in general.
But about to start the next phase of cleaning up the farm which is another round of land clearing and dirt work.
Once it's done, I'll have about 3-5 acres to keep mowed down around the shop and house. And it needs to look better than how I've been keeping the grass cut currently.
Got plenty of tractors, but mowing around trees, close to the buildings and in tight areas isnt ideal. So thinking about a zero turn.
How are these with fairly thick grass? Say about a 1' tall or more? The large machines have the same hp as the small tractor I'm currently mowing with.
Conditions other than perfectly flat or perfectly dry?
Currently I'm using my smallest tractor, a Case 430 with a 6' bushhog. And then using a Roof string mower and a FS311 trimmer around the buildings.
It works, but very slow.
Thinking about a new machine or very low hour model, something with a 72" deck. Like a Deere 970R, or something similar.
Thoughts?
