Heck, I still use the most basic push mower Lowes sells to mow about a half acre around my house, but I use my tractor and finish mower to mow the bulk of my yard.Hahaha, the summer I moved out and went to TX for my first grown up job, my parents got a ZTR and dad got a hydraulic hay bed for his truck. My brother and I used to push mow our 2 acres of grass with the most basic mower Walmart would sell.
They said they could finally afford stuff like that once their grocery bills dropped to a third, hahaha.
