I’ve got roughly 2 acres, mostly flat, a couple of trees. We’re surrounded by family land so I’ve been cutting a little extra around our property with my grandfathers cub pro z 900 72” for the past few years…probably close to 5 acres I’ve been cutting, enjoying it, and it looked great. Due to some family drama, I’m going to be scaling back and going back to cutting just our deeded 2 acres, nothing more, and will no longer have access to the 72” commercial. I haven’t bought a mower in years. I want a zero turn but outside of that, I’m not quite sure where to start. A local shop has a Toro Timecutter 50” with a 22hp Kawasaki out for $2600 that I’m highly considering. I know a Kawasaki motor is the gold standard when it comes to mowers. I’ve got access locally to Kubota, Ex Mark, Cub Cadet, Deere, Bad Boy, the list goes on. Thanks for letting me vent some and for any help!

We live in west-central Ohio…I drive to Detroit a few times a month for work and have historically bought in Luna Pier just off I-75. I haven’t bought yet and now won’t be making the drive before the 4th and am looking for a good place to buy. I’m going to venture out with my son on Monday and will to drive up to a couple hours to find the best bang for our buck. Not looking to put on a pro show, just stretch about $250 as far as it’ll go to have fun with the family before our town’s show…Roman candles, mortars, cakes, etc. I’ve read a bit about KDI just over the Indiana border but looking for other opinions. Thanks!
