I don't really have it in the budget right now to do anymore than this cub cadet

Will this mower be ok for 3/4-1 acre of relatively flat ground? 18hp sufficient? single cylinder sufficient? I test drove one of these at a demo day at Home Depot and really liked it, but don't want to overlook a glaring need that this mower doesn't have.

Please either tell me your opinion on this one, or another in a similar price range. Please don't recommend I get a gravely or exmark

TIA fellas

Man, go through Sheffield Financial and get a 0% loan for 48 months and get a decent mower. Scag, Hustler, Exmark, Big Dog, etc are all running this promotion right now. It's free money and something like the Raptor SD will run you $85 per month.

It will do what you need it to do, but it's not the best for sure. Make sure you keep it in a shed and clean it after you use it. And never leave the deck wet or it will rust through in about 2-3 years.
