Hi - question regarding the width of the mowing deck versus the width of the entire mower. I've been looking at some 48" wide mower models and it appears that the deck is just barely wider than the entire mower. I've looked at other models with 52" or 54" decks and you can definitely tell they stick out a bit. I would think that you would want the width of the deck to stick out quite a bit so it would be easier to trim around mulch beds, fence posts, etc. Is this true, or not really much of a factor? If I get a 48" wide deck and it sticks out only a couple inches wider than the mower, is that good enough, or will I find myself running into things in order to get a close cut? I'd like to reduce mowing/trimming time to a minimum.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
