As a followup I thought I would let you know that I bought a 52" Scag Turf Tiger Zero Turn, used, from the original commercial cutter. He was the only one who operated it for about 3 plus years. I have used it twice on the three acres and it does fine. It does take some time to get use to handling it, though. Some places scare me when I forget which handle I want to move in a really tight place. I know this will come with practice. I haven't timed the cutting yet because I am using it as my trim mower, as much as possible, as well as the open space. Probably since two of us cut normally, one on the tractor, and me trimming with a rider or push mower or both, or weed eater, it was about the same amount today, with only one cutting using the zero. I haven't advertised the Cub Cade for sale yet! Congratlations on your cub zero. Rider.
