If you want a backhoe, please disregard my comments. I do things that I want to / enjoy that don't make sense to everyone.
If your driveway is 1,300 SF and not 1,300 feet long, anything will work just fine.
You should get plenty of advice on mowing. My first choice is a rear finish mower. Many prefer a zero-turn or belly mower, and the discussions always include flail mowers. I think the one thing that most would agree on is that it's desirable to have something at least 5 feet wide unless you really enjoy riding mowers. I guess that if I had a wife who wanted to help mow every time and two mowers that totaled 88" it could be doable.
If I didn't have to spend a whack of doe, i'd be a happy camper without a BH. But I just think that in the long run it's the way to go. And yeah I guess I gotta be honest, the kid in me can't wait to dig some trenches
Driveway total area is 1300 sq/ft total, so cool
I actually did want a 0turn, but I just couldn't buck up the extra cash. So I figured along the lines of what you mentioned, 88" of cut for $2,400. Hopefully she can do it all when I'm workin'
Thanks
