Our old John Deere 42" lawn tractor was on its last leg, so in March, we decided to get one of these. Since I couldn't use my left arm, my wife made the first couple of cuts with it, but once I could use my arm again, I took over.
I figure that we cut a little more than three acres of lawn (which is why we decided to go with a commercial grade mower) and what used to take us about three hours to cut with the old mower, I cut in about an hour and ten minutes. The only bad thing is the blowout of grass and dirt is nasty, especially if the wind is blowing.
I think I might get a mulching kit and that should help a lot. But the one I saw for it was over $300. Since we are breaking ground on another barn next week, I will probably wait a couple months before I buy the mulching kit.
It should be the last mower I ever buy.
