I have been reading these boards for some time as there are great product threads etc. I am one of those homeowners that thinks he wants to be a landscaper. I do know that I belong behind a keyboard though 
Down in Chapin SC. Just moved from a neighborhood 1/3 acre centipede to a country 2 acres with bermuda sod. At first I cut with an 1984 Snapper Comet with a 30" deck. That didnt last long, found a 44" Fastrak ZTR which I loved and recently sold. In the market for a new one now, have been using my buddies Wright stander 52" which is one heck of a machine that I cant afford. Married 2 kids a dog and a cat. Love to fish and hunt and in software for a living.
