[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 4317541, member: 42957"] In Oklahoma, I kept the cleared 1 1/2 acres area around our home mowed with a Bolens-Iseki 16hp 4x4 Diesel Garden Tractor with a 48” Finishing Mower on the back. It was still working when I left the place for Alabama in 2020. One of our sons lives on our place and as of last situation report, he still hasn’t got it workiing. Dahhhh….!. I have a 26hp Kubota Diesel ZD1211-3-60 (60”Deck) Zero Turn Commercial Mower here in Alabama. It cost less than $20K and I financed it through Kubota 0% Interest 60 months including an excellent mechanical/loss/theft protection warranty. Its fuel consumption is extremely efficient and it has a hydraulic crushed seat and hydraulic deck lift. I keep about (6), or so, acres mowed which includes two access roads (one over a large pond dam that semi-trucks can and have crossed before and (2) or (3) tenths of a mile on the county road, and a another shaded area around the other side of our pond that my wife likes mowed. There are other great mowers out there including Gravely; John-Deere ($45K on up), CAT, etc.; but our Kubota Dealership in Dothan has treated me better than any kind of dealership with which I’ve ever dealt. It’s hot down here during the Summer, but Oklahoma summers conditioned be real well for it. I’ve mowed over five hours in 96*F without quoting incurring criticism from my family and friends. LOL. The way I see it is: If I die out there on that thing because of the heat, I’ll drive it up to the Pearly Gates and ask St. Peter if they need the place mowed?
