This weekend our zero turn mower just suddenly stopped running. My son was mowing the grass and it completely quit while he was driving along. It wouldn't start up again. The motor just kept spinning like it was trying to start but just couldn't. Seeing as how it's 12 years old and our property has around 4 acres of open space instead of the 1.3 acres we used to have it may be time for a new mower. It was a 46" deck and a larger deck size might be very beneficial. The old Troy-Bilt mower kind of limped along the last couple years with air leaking from tires. I had it in the shop twice over its lifespan, once for bent rods. That happened while mowing our property several years before we built our house.
If you have a larger property with about 3-4 acres of open space what kind of mower do you use? Do you like it or do you wish you had gotten a different one? I would really love to hear some input as most of the reviews I see online seem about the same. I don't want to spend a fortune either as I would rather save the money for more plants, greenhouse, shed and other gardening stuff!
