My wife had a lawn service company before we were married on her 1 acre lot with lots of trees and hills. They used the ride on zero turn for most, and a walk behind zero turn with a Velke/sulky to mow the steep hills sideways. I got a used Ransomes Bobcat with a snow blower attachment for $1800. Low center of gravity, very fast to mow and easily maneuverable with controls you just squeeze to turn. Been using that for 14 years. I am handicapped, so balance on the side of the mower is an issue. Never had a problem with the Velke, though I know people who have died from a tractor rolling over. Not a problem with a Velke.
