Any suggestions for a lawn mower(s) for 3-4 acres to mow?

best lawn mower for 4 acres image

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

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.

What could cause irrigation breakdown?

I own a 1/4 acre property with a 6 zone irrigation system installed in 2007. The water bill jumped to over $500 and found that the system was compromised in almost every zone. If no vehicles are on the property other than landscape lawn mowers, what could have caused such a widespread failure?
Property is in GA, pump is part of initial installation 2 yrs ago when house built. Could it have been the mowers? I hate to think it.

Answer
wow, a fairly new system with so many problems...
I'm willing to bet it's either poor installation or breaks from freezing. Being in GA, freezing most likely is ruled out.

Fixing the issues should be relatively inexpensive. Get them done sooner than later to avoid any deeper water bill expenses.

Can you contact the installer? If they are a reputable company, they should help you out!

Good Luck.
