As with any new avenue of research, I'm still learning the ins/outs/terminology for mowers but I'm enjoying the process!
My wife and I just moved onto 2 acres of nice flat farmland and aim to make a dent in it. We're looking to buy either a ZTR or other riding mower and would love to also be able to use a tilling attachment if at all possible (who's not gonna plant some veggies on 2 acres?). If anyone has advice on what I should or shouldn't be looking for or can just point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
From my research so far, I've walked away with a couple of possibly wrong findings:

From my research so far, I've walked away with a couple of possibly wrong findings:
- Avoid Briggs and Stratton engines because they're junk (people seem to like Kohler or Kawasaki)
- Husqvarna brand does not honor its warranty and people have a lot of trouble seeking repairs
- Kubota is great but expensive in all cases
- ZTR's lack the ability to use non-mowing attachments (snowblower, hauling wagon, tilling, etc)
