Where can I find mowers that can mow taller?
I'm looking to buy a self-propelled mulcher mower that can be set to cut
the grass much higher than regular mowers, like maybe 4-5" tall? Who makes something decent in that?

Jonh Deere makes some walk-behind mowers that will cut up to 4 inches tall. http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCa...ers_steel.html

It would not be difficult to make wheel extenders. All you need is 4 pieces of flat metal of a sufficient gauge with holes for the wheel bolts. Bolt the extenders to the frame and lower the wheel where you want them. Just don't let the cat or dog run under there while you are mowing. -- Claude Hopper  Good thinking - I guess larger wheels might work also on some machines.

Looks like it has a mulcher mode too, which I use.

Bit pricy for me, especially for just a 11000 sq ft lot with about 7000 sq ft of lawn.

Bolt the extenders to the frame and lower the wheel where you want them. Just don't let the cat or dog run under there while you are mowing. My main concern is not losing the drive while doing that. To keep the front wheel drive, I need to just rotate the front wheels down past the stops, as far as they can go, then find a way to fix them that way. May have to drill holes in the frame and bolt them.

Unfortunately not on this one, they would hit the frame.

May have to drill holes in the frame and bolt them. On my snapper, I adjust the wheels past the last stop, then run a rubber strap under the axle, attached to the frame to hold it up against the adjustment plate.
