My old Bad Boy was 11 yras old, and used up. I was going to have to replace it, as well as a trim mower, and weed eater. I had about settled on a $5,000.00 zero turn mower, one like this would likely be in the $10,000.00 neighborhood, new. I'm 77 , fat and lazy, and got to wondering how many times I could have my yard mowed, and trimmed, for what I a was about to spend? I estimated the amount of interest lost, or paided on this amount of money, the cost of fuel, oil, filters, parts, etc and estimated the life of this new mower, and other equipment, at 8 years! Guess what I could have this lawn work done for 8 years for the same amount of money, or less!! I pay a lawn service $75.00 per mowing, about one acre, they mow once a week in the wetter part of the summer, and every two weeks in the dryer part, these guys have top of the line equip, like this above, and usuially have three YOUNG men do the job very well in about 15 or 20 minutes! I usually set on the porch in a rocking chair, of inside under the AC, if it's to hot, and say GOOD JOB GUYS!!
Mowing. I really enjoy it. It’s my 2nd best time of thinking and making plans ( 1st is when I’m trying to sleep). I don’t do the manicured lawn thing. If it’s green and not a sticker and covers the dirt— I like it.
Weedeater. Not my favorite. I too have Stihl WITH the bicycle type handles that I think are a must. Over 25 years old and never a problem with normal occasional maintenance

It needs a Rat Fink decal.
Buffalo grass for me. I mowed a friend's lawn for the summer while his wife was getting a new liver. He had Buffalo grass and it almost killed me. Just a plain old dust mask wouldn't work I had to mow with a genuine GI issue gas mask. If that wasn't a sight to behold for passing motorists.
I'd like to hear more about the PTO link. @ OK Corgi Rancher
OH HELL NO!!!Before you move up here build you a mother in law shack somewhere on your place and then bring her’s and your parents with you.
Problem solved…..well maybe?
I would be OK with taking that long to mow if it meant I had a lot of property. I look forward to the day that I can make use of a good zero turn mower (or a tractor with a finish mower).
Man I hate living in town anymore.
I've been liking it more since I purchased an EGO Zero Turn battery powered mower. It's great not to have to mess with gas, oil, filters, belts, etc. Just get on and go.
