Have to buy a new mower. Any suggestions or warnings?

Have about 5.5 acres with about half cleared. The rest has house, trees, and other small obstacles. I know I want zero turn, but need suggestions on brand and any other tips are appreciated. Thanks

I cut 4 acres and have a 61 inch cut. I would not want any smaller. I opted for the SCAG Turf Tiger and it is a machine. My neighbor was in the same boat you are and researched for what seemed like a year. At first he was going to buy a bad boy or hustler but ended up spending the extra coin and purchased a scag cheetah. I suggest that you go look at several different ones to see which one you like best though.

The only zero turn you can still drink beer on. Opreates with one hand just like and escavator.

I have been researching all over for which Zero Turn to get or maybe any other mower. I have done got myself all confused and I have no idea what I need or want now.

Whats your budget? I did quite a bit of research last year, and would agree Bad Boy is the best value.
Tractor Supply had 54" cut for $3499

With that much land, Id buy a commercial unit. Thats 5-10x more land than the Home Depot unit was built to cut, weekly.
I would find a dealer near you that is good to deal with. Ive used Scags, Toro, and Exmarks. I liked the Scag the best but the cheapest (Toro) did just fine cutting grass too.
I never understood why people obsessed over mowers so much. Its far worse than Ford vs Gm vs Ram. However, if you want to dive in headfirst, go over to www.lawnsite.com and join the club.

OP. Where you live at?

We're on our second Kubota mower and love 'em. We have the diesel 31 horse with the 60" deck and cut about 5 acres.

I bought a Bad Boy and sold it to my dad. They have had no problems other than my crazy step-mom and her sister drive it full tilt at all times. They have blown several front tires on it. The deck is built like a tank!

I love my Kubota. Came with a 4 year insurance policy. No matter what happens, or what I do to it, for $250 that puppy gets fixed. Deductible never changes.
ETA: whatever you decide, go commercial.
