I am looking to get a new mower. I will be mowing about 2 acres of mid Missouri rolling hills.
The Cub 2550 looks like a pretty good option.
My questions are:
In this price range ($3,500 to $4,000) is there any better option?
Of the 2500 series what is the advantage of the 2550 vs 2544 and other models? A local dealer reccomends the 2550 because it covers the wheel tread path. In the specs the 2544 appears to be a heavier built deck (11 guage on the 44 - 12 guage on the 50)
Will using a blade on this be effective on a 1000 feet of gravel road - with 1" to 4" of snow (I have a 40 HP tractor for anything heavier)? Will it destroy the mower?
How many hours (or years) use would you think I can expect assuming regular maintenance?
Any advice you can provide will be appreciated
