I have about 2 acres to mow and it isn’t a ‘lawn’ w/ nice bermuda turf. Lol It’s a yard with tough grass. Cub Cadet died today and need to look for something tough enough to handle this. Recommendations? I have no preference- zero turn or tractor either one is fine.

Zero turn will cut your mowing time down alot. Hustler (commercial grade), Grasshopper, or Dixie Chopper

Thank you. So far, I’m finding Walker, John Deere, and Bad Boy here from a quick online search.

I have about the same amount to mow. From craigslist I got a JD x534 all wheel steer 54". It is great and never bogs down. I have mowed over some pretty tall stuff and the all wheel steer with power steering is great. I can mow with one finger if I want.

Get a Z52 Husqvarna just like mine.

Toro makes a good mower

Xmark, I just got a 50" zero turn & love it. They make several different sizes in both walk behind and zero turns. Might make a garden style, but I wasn't looking for that when I was shopping.

A stander is more maneuverable and less impact on your body that a sit on.

How Deep are your Pockets??? lol

OK, maybe I like to over analyze stuff:

Assume out of those two acres you have a house, garage, outbuilding, and driveway of average size. You still have over 1 3/4 acres of open "lawn" to mow.

Have you considered putting some of that ground to work by planting a garden? You sure have the space for it, while still maintaining your "park".

The garden needs work, and the park needs mowing. If that's a possibility, you have narrowed your search down to a garden tractor with all wheel steering. There are a few out there, but, I'd be talking to my John Deere dealer

We use a toro zero turn for our manicured lawns with centipede and my zoysia grass. For tough junk grass on our farms we use a 6’ hardee bush hog behind a Ford 5000.

I hate mowing grass. I don't mind about 30 minutes of it. I figured out what 30 minutes of grass mowing was and let the rest go. I planted native plants and grasses in the rest and let nature have it back. Every couple of years I burn off the dead stuff in the spring.
I much prefer fishing to grass mowing...

Bad boy mower made in batesville Arkansas

Parker wheel motors with Hydrogear or Parker pump or pumps. Hydro oil filter is a must on drive system, spin on are better. Larger oil reserves tank are better. Keep drive system cool.

Scag turf tiger -- I mow around 6 acres ..

I really appreciate everyon’e input. Bad Boy’s hometown is about an 1:15 min from me. I’m looking at John Deer too. Some of the others brands mentioned, not sure if there’s a dealer close by yet.
