I've scrolled through forums over the past couple days but everything I see seems to be dated so I thought I'd ask
Here is my situated. We are moving from 1/4 acre postage stamp to a 3.6 acre lot. I have two little kids and I bring them up because they keep me busy and while I like mowing, I'd like to be done yardwork in an hour or two.
Here is the hard part, I don't want a zero degree and I only want to spend about 2K..
What are your recommendations for riding lawn tractors to mow this lot in that amount of time in that budget.
I will throw in another nugget. The current owner is willing to through in his JD 318 mower for 500.00. I don't know enough about them but it's an old mower...from what I saw online...possibly from the mid 90's. I just dont want to walk in to a bunch of issues with it...but I also dont know how strong of a mower that is at this point in it's life to mow the lawn - time wise.
Thanks for any advice!!
