Nice place! Here that water would be a pond, but I can't see it all so maybe a lake after all.
Where did you get the fountain and about how much do they run?
Can you modify your cutting pattern to do somewhat more crosswise and eliminate uphill turns and spinning tires completely?
Get the 10 hr cut if the price is right. Use it to level a spot and build a storage shed. You won't regret getting it- but you might regret missing a sweet deal.
Around here if you can cast a fishing line across it, it's a pond. If you can't it's a lake.
I didn't get the fountain, my neighbor did in an effort to increase aeration to keep down the lake plants. He wishes now that he had gotten a bubble aerator because it would have been cheaper and more effective.
There are quite a few undulation that make it rather difficult to mow other that straight up and down the slope.
I did have a system when I was using the Husqvarna where I would make very wide turns U shaped turns at the bottom of the hill to keep the traction up. It worked okay, but if it was even the slightest bit damp, like when it was starting to get dark and the moisture in the air started condensing on the grass, it would start slipping. Rocking, bobbing, leaning, bouncing and backing up and restarting at a different angle would usually get me started back up again. But man was it aggravating. It was even worse for my wife the few times she would cut it because she only weighs 105 lbs soaking wet.:laughing:
I haven't 100% given up on the Kubota yet. I still have 28 days of John Deere promise left to make up my mind for sure.
