I have a 38 hp diesel Kubota FR3680 that I cut acres with each week. It has 1600 hours on it now and fires right up and will smooth cut to 2 1/2” in 5” grass as fast as I can stand to ride it burning less than a gallon an hour.
Think I’ll hold on to it for a bit longer.
I just have a medium size suburban style house and lawn.
I looked into Ryobi riding mowers. But instead of taking up so much room in garage, I bought a robot lawn mower Sileno City model, for the backyard. After it has done 3 re-charges of battery, all that remains is edge trimming with a weed whacker and a few spots the robot missed. The robot finds its way back to the charging station automatically when battery gets low, using the guide wire buried 1” below ground, Charges it self and starts mowing again all by itself. What a time saver!
