If you had 10k to spend and these property details what mower would you buy. We're selling the Kubota bx23s and buying a real mower and larger back hoe.
- 3 acres of BUMPY winding lawn with flower beds and trees throughout.
- Several hills and off camber mowing areas.
- Portions of the yard are wet in spring
- Really need some seat suspension for bumps as I'm pushing 50 and spend a lot of time in front of a computer and the yard is bumpy as hell.
- 6'1" 190lbs long legs - but something the wife or 10 yr old can drive.
- Would be nice to have easy access to the blades for sharpening as there are a fair amount of ledge and boulder tips hidden in the grass.
- Lots of trees to circle, sometimes in the middle of the hill.
- Lots of flower beds and stone walls to edge
- Low hanging trees to mow under, bottom branches at 5ft.
- Beds are well established with large bushes, trees that overhang the lawn. Thinking 60" deck to get under them to the edge of the beds.
- Mow at 4" most of the time to avoid ledge and boulder tips in the lawn
- I'm going to hit sticks and some rocks.
- Don't want to bag but need some sort of leaf collection option for fall. To many leaves and too far to blow for the stihl BR700.
- Grass is 19 zones of irrigated fescue with some field grass.
Mowing quality and comfort are a priority.
Leaning towards gravely and a commercial friend of ours is pushing scag stand on. I got the impression scag reliability has declined with their success?
What would you buy and why?
