zero turn or tractor

[dodge man]

Just me thinking out loud, but with that much acreage, I'd think a tractor with an end loader would be handy. I know mowing that much would get old in a hurry. If I truly had to mow that much on a regular basis I'd get the largerst tractor I could afford, they make some pretty large finish mowers for them.

It had a top speed of 22 MPH and they claimed a clean cut on Bahia at those speeds.

LOL @ mowing at 22mph!

Yea. I'd like to see the CEO of dixie chopper bounce his butt across my yard at that speed!

Tractor and bushog for large part and mower for the rest.

I have both a Z and a cabbed tractor.
There's no way I'd spend all the time it would take to cut even 5 acres with anyone's Z.
Trim around the house and fence posts that aren't glypho'd and climb into the cab with a cold beverage.

The fastest Dixie Chopper I could find listed on their web site had a 13 MPH top speed and 7 acres per hour.

It's possible they had to slow them down or maybe my memory is failing. I know the one I drove 20 years ago was uncomfortably fast.

Those weren't apples to apples in HP.

Ditto on that! That is completely ridiculous, not to mention extremely dangerous, if true. Short of a putting green, there would never be any surface smooth enough to even get remotely close to that speed, even if it could go that fast, which I doubt it can.

Has anyone driven the new Country Clipper with the single joystick control? Looks really slick, and I like the concept. That would be high on my list if I were ZTR shopping today.
