I'm a firm believer that time is money and the faster I can get the grass cut..(4+acres) the faster I can get on the next honey do list item...

Now its a Zero Turn duty... As I tell the wife... Right tool for the right job...

Zero turns are cool.. Plowing a field or a driveway of snow would be challenging with one but great for grass no doubt. Some people are limited to the number of machines they can own so would try to have a "do all" machine. I don't know what kind of grass the OP is cutting. In my yard I think it would not be an issue. Im only taking an inch or so off the top of a little over an acre once a week. Its flat and never dusty. Im assuming the Cub diesels were designed to be grass cutting machines. Maybe the design was a bit poor but I would think it could be greatly improved upon with out much effort.
