We have about 7 acres quite a lot of which needs mowing. We have had
a Kubuto T1600 for several years (15 or more now) after a few false
starts with other makes. The Kubuta is diesel (if cost is relevant
and you can get it red diesel is allowed) and just goes on and on
hacking through really tough mowing as well as doing the lawn around
the house. It's needed just replacement belts (as expected),
replacement blades (ditto) and a couple of joints in the transmission
over the years. The engine has just chugged on without much attention
except the (very occasional) oil change.
