My husband and I are looking into buying a lawn mower/tractor to mow about 3 - 4 acres. We are thinking about either a JD 2210 or JD 4115. Does anyone have a suggestion of any others, especially of lesser cost, but the same quality for the amount of mowing to be done? Also, suggestions on which size of deck and the amount of time it would take to mow this amount would be great. We have a Torro with a 54" deck now, but we are sharing it with my father-in-law and it is becoming a hassle to take back and worth every week or so. Plus, we have to get the bushhog to use too. We use the Torro for yard (about 1.5 acres) and the bushhog for the other acres. That's why we need one that would be great to do it all! ~thanks

Answer
I'd Look at exmark or grasshopper's..., any 42 inch with a hydro riding mower will do 1.5 acres easy though... I'd also think about simplicity/snapper mowers as well. Simplicity owns snapper.

best, yet inexpensive way of clearing large area of schrubbery?

I have approximately 3/4 of acre that is completely overgrown. I want to remove the underbrush cleaning up this area as it is my property. My lawn tractor cannot get through.
Since I am doing this alone, What should I use
besides grit and perseverance.

Answer
You may check at a local rental store and try to rent something that will mow it the first time. DR Field and brush mower for example they will run over as big as an 1" or so brush.
