I have a new piece of property. It is 2 acres, dead flat, no trees. I have a Kubota Z121s with a mulching kit but it bogs down pretty good if the grass is even the slightest bit damp or around 4 inches tall (cutting down to 3.25). Grass is all Fescue/Bermuda blend but I am slowly converting to all Bermuda. I am looking for a mower that will last me a lifetime, mulch (I don't like to bag or discharge) and not get bogged down. I am eyeing a Tiger Cat II as I like our local Kubota/Scag dealer. I know a Tiger Cat II may seem overkill for 2 acres, but I sometimes mow our common area as well (4 acres), and will occasionally pick up a few yards in the neighborhood (1.5 - 2.5 acres).
Question, would you go with the Tiger Cat II in the 52 or 61" deck? Which engine? I am leaning toward the 61 as I don't have any fences, tress, or many obstacles to mow around. I do have a few drainage ditches, but not ones I see causing an issue on a 61 that wouldn't also cause an issue on a 52. However, the 61, also has the 29 EFI (but bigger deck so more to cut).
Thoughts?
