I persoanlly would look to tractor supply and the king kutter. I have a 2006, KK finish mower that has mown 2400 acres as of now. Yea you read right 2400 acres. Done nothing to the mower except Power wash, grease it and check the oil in the gear box, sharpened the blades twice. This mower is a rear discharge type which requires a bit less
HP to run also. This mower mowes rain or shine and I would buy a third one in a minutes notice. Good luck John
