I am new to zero turn mowers, heck mowers in general for that matter. For 25 years I lived on 5 acres that was 100% wooded with virtually no grass. I could mow everything I need to in about 10 minutes and only had to do it about 4 times a year. Sometimes I just ran the weedeater to take care of it. Fast forward today to a new life, new wife, new house out on the prairie so to speak. Now I have about 1.5 acres of lawn to take care of.
I push mow it all now and honestly do not mind doing so, but it simply takes too much of my time. I'm looking for a recommendation on a good residential zero turn mower. I do not have enough grass to warrant a large commercial mower. I think I'm leaning towards a 52" Gravely with a Kawasaki motor, but I don't really know. Educate me on what I need to look for and who makes a good, reliable machine. There is a very, very slight possibility that the wife is going to run this too, so it needs to be pretty user friendly. More than likely not because Barbie don't do yard work,...but it should be a consideration.
Thanks for your help.
