They call it Lake Hernando. Its part of the Tsala Apopka chain in Citrus County.

Was just curious, I have a place on the Harris Chain in Lake county.

wow nice place... I have to believe a ztr would cut that time down alot. No more push mower at least from the pics. Get the bigest deck that will fit through your tightest space! I only have a 38 inch deck on mine but I am sure I could beat your time. In any case I love the pics and I hope you enjoy your place.

Thank you. I know a ZTR is the way to go my next mower will be one. As far as the push mowing goes I would still have to do it, the bank is way to steep for any kind of ride on mower and the area in the trees I could mow with my rider but it will beat you to death it's not good for me or the equipment, if I had a ZTR I would still push mow the same amount. Matter of fact the company I had mowing my yard used a ZTR mower and they push mowed that area.

I have to say they may have push mowed because it looks better but its not impossible. I believe a stand on ZTR with a sulky or vulky wheel is the way to go

No they told me they did it because of all the cypress knees. Its mostly weeds so it don't look very good either way :laughing: trust me I did it on my rider for awhile and it's to rough I didn't like beating on my mower it needs to last a long time.

Something you may want to consider if you're looking to invest in a ZTR would be a stander like exotion mentioned but I'd stay away from the sulky. Try looking at the Toro Grandstand, the deck sizes range from 36" to 60" and with the Toro you have the best of both worlds with the Flex ride operator platform which flips up you have a walk behind to do your slopes. They work great, it's the best investment I've ever made. I can also tell you it will work rings around any ZTR.

I will keep that in mind, though it will be some time (hopefully) because I just bought my mower a little over a year ago. So either when it craps out or I come into a LARGE some of money :)laughing: yea right) that's when I'll be shopping for a new mower.

Have you ever had any problems with your Toro Grandstand? a couple companies in our area started picking them up and very soon after sold them due to problems and switched to the Scag V-Ride.
I was looking into buying a V-Ride, but they just dont seem that safe to me. I feel you will fly off the thing if you hit a bump at full speed.
