If you were on my place with over 40 trees, you would really appreciate a ZTR. 60" Bad Boy here with 28 HP Kohler.Funny how some folks say a ZTR is a time saver for them. I first used a 25 hp gas 54” ZTR on several acres of land, but got rid of it after one year and bought a 32 hp diesel tractor with a 72” finish mower. Cut my mowing time by a good third, and I didn’t have to mow half strips at a crawl where the grass was thick. Of course, I didn’t have to deal with many trees or shrubs.
According to the hour meter on the bad Boy, it takes me 1.8 hours to do 3 acres with 40 trees. With the Craftsman 42" garden tractor it took almost 8 hours. When it got worn out, went to a hydrostat 48" craftsman that cut it to 6 hours. I was in heaven buying that Bad Boy.I have a little over an acre and enjoy my mow with a Toro Timemaster. It's a 30" self propelled walk behind. Gets front and back done in about an hour. It has enough heft to get good traction, really easy to maneuver. If you don't have a lot of yard, I dig it... But I've got youth on my side.
