Message: <blockquote data-quote="Perplexed" data-source="post: 2773591" data-attributes="member: 7157">I had a zero turn mower with a 54" deck and a 20 hp engine, and it took me about 1.5 hours to mow 2 acres - when the grass wasn't too thick.  After a good couple of rains, the mowing time stretched out to 2+ hours since I had to cut half the width of the mower deck to prevent the engine bogging down.  And this was with sharp blades and letting the grass grow no more than a half inch above cutting height!  After I switched to a Cub Cadet Yanmar 32 hp tractor with a 72" finish mower, my mowing time was cut to less than an hour, no matter how thick or tall the grass was.  Plus, I use the FEL to move dirt and to lift heavy objects, and I can use it to move snow in the winter.  I have a hydrostatic transmission, and it's held up well over about 100 hours so far.</blockquote>
