best lawn mower for hilly yard image
Steve H
I now have a zero turn mower but if I go full speed it doe's not cut the grass perfect, there are some blades of grass that don't get cut.
Answer
I have a Hustler Z turn mower. They were the inventor of the zero turn lawn mower and I love it. Mine is a Fastrak model, which is the consumer model made for people cutting once or twice a week with lawns around 1 to 5 acres. The cost is fairly hefty ($5,300) but not much more than the much less quality Zturn mowers you will see a Lowe's or Home Depot. It gets much more expensive if you are to look into the professional lawn mowers. ($6-8k) Since mine mows with a 54 inch cut at 8 mph it works great.
If your yard is flat you can go with a larger cut, but if you have a hilly landscape you will want a smaller deck.
Something else to consider is what brand of Motor. You will usually find a choice of motor in a higher end mower. I have looked around and if you check out many of the professional landscapers around here you will find what ever brand lawn mower - the engines are usually made by Kawasaki. I guess that they have the most torque.
To keep the cost down I actually went in partners with a neighbor friend. I wouldn't recommend that to just anyone, but we wrote up a contract and it works for us.
Best of luck in your research.

Which is better for a hilly yard: front wheel drive self propelled or rear wheel drive?

My rear wheel driver mower has burned through a clutch twice in 3 years and I have to purchase a new lawn mower. Should I get a rear wheel drive again or a front wheel drive?
Answer
I definitely recommend a front propelled mower.
We used to live on a cliff with pretty much a large cliff behind and a smaller cliff down below that. I mowed it myself and couldn't have done it without my trusty Craftsman front propelled mower.One thing that is really good about having the drive in front is that you can just tilt the handle back a tad and raise the front just slightly off the ground instead of letting completely off the throttle and if your ground is really hilly it makes it so much easier. You can't do that with a rear wheel drive mower.Oh and if it's really hilly like mine was I also recommend wearing golf cleats when you mow to keep from slipping.
