Default Lawn mower or zero turn ride on

Hi

First time user and sure this has been asked a lot! Apologies

I am buying a new house with approx 0.65 acre of lawned area - what do i
buy - a zero turn mower or a normal 55cm deck lawn mower?

How long will it take to push mow as opposed to 'ride on' - i havent got
a clue so apologies if ridiculous question!!

thanks




It's all what you fancy. A nice zero turn is an invitation to go mowing
not quite the chore of the conventional numerous re branded Murray junk.
I like the zero turn. It maneuvers tight and is quick, making short work
of the lawn. Mine an 04 Snapper does not stop the blades when you
reverse. I understand some of them do.
the things aren't cheap. Mine was 5,000.00 then. A commercial Deere, or
a few others, that will last many many years can cost well upwards of
that especially the little diesels.
