'BTW, I have 3 gas powered mowers (I have 3 acres to mow, and it takes a while....)'

Well, I either hope one of 'em has a seat and four forward gears, or you got a stout wife. We only have about a quarter of an acre here at The Lodge, but between the mowing, weed-whacking, edging, brush-hogging along the back fence, and whatnot, it seems like the longest two hours on earth if the temp's over 85. Once we do build new, we're gunning for 2-5 acres, part of which will either be bass pond, or at least have a good trout creek cutting through it.

Actually, 2 of them have seats, one 16 hp with 5 forward gears, the other is 15.5 hp hydrostatic. Both mow a 42 inch wide path. My BIG (46 inch cut, 12.5 hp) walk behind has 4 forward w/reverse (I usually mow in 3rd).

It's my fav, but if I'm feeling lazy, I'll use one of the others, usually whichever one the wife isn't on....

I spend $20/week now on gasoline just to mow my yard....
