yes my yard is pretty ruff also but i use a Exmark Lazer Z Xp Commercial mower and it handles the bumps really well but it also has a supination seat on it that helps so much but you can also look into the Farris ZTR it has 4 wheel supination and makes it alot easer in the rider and the mower but i would go for the commercial mower rather then the home owner version good luck
