I have a 6 ft 3 point hitch mower and a lot of my yard is long and wide open so I`m good with the John Deere and mower.

I really like my zero turn. It is faster than the lawn tractor I had and less trimming.. there are places in the front yard where the roots of the trees make the ground rather rough.. I just take it slow.. I did opt for the better seat and a heavier deck, plus a pedal to raise the deck to stop it from scrapping on a high spot..

I wouldn't mind a 15 ft wing mower but that's really overkill.

I can see that Steve, my son really likes his zero turn.

If you had calves you wouldn't need to cut grass.

I've been trying to get the cats to work as a dog team but they're not to keen on the idea, Frankie still walks me to the mailbox and Sally sneaks along and hides on Frankie. She dive bombs us on the way back and the 2 of them chase each other home.
