Using a SCUT for a mowing tractor is a bad idea all the way around. If you have a large area to mow and use it for that, it's now bad... but for everyday "round the yard" it's not practical. I wouldn't even buy one with a belly mower. If you want to cut some larger area's of grass with it, get a rear 3pt finish mower. They cut fine, and are far easier to remove when you want to do other things with the tractor.
Dad uses his Deere to mow his whole place with. He got rid of all the things we used to have to mow around, so it isn't as big a deal, but I think it looks like crap compared to how a good ZTR cuts. Or his 1864. But he lives on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere. Maybe 3 people a day (same people everyday) see his yard, so he really could care.
