Been mowing for years with a troybuilt 33" wide cut walk behind, it finally bit the dust the other day so I'm looking. I was all set to get another big walk behind, but the wife reminded me I wasn't getting any younger. I'll be 60 this fall and seeing as I've been using this last mower for 15 years, maybe its time to think about a sit down. The walker is ok for now but 5 years from now, who knows.. gotta think about this stuff now.
I dont like the little lawn tractor jobs and was pretty set on a zero turn mower. (just thought , budget around $2000-2500 ish). Then I was reading about the front deck mowers.. very useful for reaching under stuff like bushes and stuff, just like a brush hog behind the tractor..so I'm thinking about those too.
My place is mostly woods, with about 2 1/2 acre yard around the house, but I have lots of road frontage, almost a mile of it with your normal roadside ditch to mow so what are your thoughts??
Note: I just came across a John Deere F710 48" front deck mower that looks like its in pretty good shape for $2200, but I know absolutly nothing about them.. any advice on this guy? Looks like some pretty substantial equipment.
Thanks..
