We are moving to Kansas City area, and the house we are buying is sitting on almost an acre. I've just got my push mower and it would probably take forever to cut it with that. Any recommendations on a small riding mower that you've used and liked? Wouldn't mind a zero turn, but think that will be a little bit of overkill.

I have .9 acres, I have a 48" walk behind with sulky. Great option for this sized yard without going to a zero turn

42" Bad Boy. They are around $3k, and it will last you forever.

My Craftsman 48". With a Briggs 20 has been running strong for the past ten years with no problems. It's not zero term but, it turns plenty sharp enough to do my lawn.

I think I paid about $1200 for it. They're about the same price today.

john deere/craftsman/ toro/all about the same man, find one with a good engine (i'd say 22-23 would be best) and find one that makes you happy. Whether it be the color, the seat, the sweet LED's, you do you man. You gotta sit in it and ask yourself, do i want my neighbors see me riding this on sundays? if its a yes, go for it.
