Ive been cutting about 5 acres with my Toro zero turn. But I also do a lot of finish type mowing on trails and have about another 3 acres I would finish type cut if I could. Im tending about 19 acres of pastures and a little woods and creek edges. Hilly stuff. Some open slopes but not much of it is really that flat.
The Toro does its job and I do have a lot of fence and trees. Also a good number of areas with old terrace thats grown over with fescue pasture. This all converts nicely to Bermuda in the summer and with closer mowing than the Bush hog does. I'd consider cutting it that way but not with a ZT.
I dunno but there are several nice used Finish mowers for sale around me right now. Several 5 footers. I just don't know how much use Id get out of it. I guess you never know until you get one and see do you? Is that how it is? You get one then you apply it and see if it was worth it? I know there is no such thing as good for parts of my area than the Bush hog and Zero turn combo. But would a finish mower have a place in between that?
I guess Im thinking out loud here but anyone thats pondered this application and acted on it feel free to tell me your results.
