I know we are talking about what engine to choose, but why would you get a 36" ZTR? You can get a good walk behind 36" and be more flexible with where you can use the machine.

Tell me more. I was thinking I could do the couple acre lots I have taken on for this upcoming year and still be productive on my residential lots but I am considering the 48" as well since I already have a 30" just means I will also need a new trailer since I only have a 4x8

I know it's a tough decision. If I were you I wouldn't even have a 30" mower for me and my purposes it's would be either 21" or 36" deck. I mean if you can use a 30" mower on a property then you should be able to use a 36" walk behind and go faster, use less energy and have more power to perform what ever task comes along. If you're mostly mowing small residentials and a few 1 acre lots I would stick with the 21" 36" walk behind combo as I stated before.

Ok I like your thinking! I get a good 36 walk behind sell my 30" get a fantastic 21"
So my wander is can I be productive enough on 1 acer + with a 36" walk behind?

I would get a 42. I use a 48 and carry the 42 for getting into back yards with gates. And a 21 for when needed.
 
RIDING MOWER DECK SIZE COMPARED TO YARD SIZE

[TD="width: 20%"] 1 - 2 Acres [/TD]
[TD="width: 60%"] The 42" or 46" deck would be sufficient [/TD]

[TD="width: 20%"] 2 - 3 Acres [/TD]
