First off, i have a Kioti CX2510 for my big work. As for my yard, I mow about 2 acres maybe less. I have a Gravely zero turn 48" cut that does just fine. I like to keep that just for mowing. I have a Cub Cadet 21hp and 46" cut for back up, mowing thru the woods and hauling, moving and leave clean up. My tree's are now getting big and i need a leave vac. I have my eye on a Cyclone XL. My Cub is old and failing fast so i need a new mower. I like the new Cub 23hp with 50" deck. I also have a chance to buy a perfect J.D. 316 and that is 16hp. Am i comparing apples to apples? The JD weighs over a 100lb more than the Cub as its a real garden tractor but i feel like the JD is still stronger when pulling extra weight like the vac will be. Should i go for the most HP, is that is simple as it gets?
