Hey all,
So I just bought a house with 2 acres - of which about 1.5 is lawn. I first jumped on the zero turn mower thought because that is what the previous owner has and hey - more power toys!
So now that I am looking at the $$$ for them, I wonder if I truly need it.
Here is a picture of the lawn:

Birds eye view:

Basically everything to the left of the red line. There is some behind the house you cant see but that gives you an idea of the terrain.
I am wondering if a standard riding mower with a 48" deck would be fine also - seems to be a bunch cheaper in the used market.
What do you all think?
Thanks
Joe
