best lawn mower for 4 acres image
Aztec
We have about 1 acre of land and we use a cub-cadet lawn mower. I have tried to stripe it but I cant get it to look like the pros. Is my technique wrong? Is there something i could make to pull behind the tractor to bend the grass down? That is what they do at the golf course. I mow it at about 4.5 inches. Any tips?
Answer
Stripes in grass work best on fine textured turf such as Bermuda, Zoysia, Bent or Fescue. If you are growing a turf that requires a mowing height of 4.5 inches such as St Augustine or Bahia, then striping is tougher.
Be sure the blades are very sharp. Mow often and make marks somewhere unobtrusive so that you are mowing in the same direction in the same place every time you mow. Mow often. It is the repetition of direction that eventually puts stripes in turf..
Reel mowers often have rollers behind them to prepare the surface for playing. The rollers should not be too heavy to prevent soil compaction.
Remember, the striping in turf is much more visible from above and on TV, you may have more striping than you can see from ground level.

It is for a single home, not for commercial but will need something that lasts
Looking for a specific brand that is reliable, faster, to Bob's point, and not terribly expensive. Also 42".

I think this would be similar to posting a question like: Which pickup truck is better, Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. You will get just as many answers for each one, all saying that they are BY FAR the best. LOL. People will usually be pretty opinionated on stuff like this.
Also, to get a real accurate suggestion we would need more info. Is it 4 acres of regularly manicured lawn? Is it part field? Will you be using the mower for strictly mowing? Or would you use it for other outdoor chores?
If you are looking for something to strictly mow a 4 acre lawn, the extra money spent on a ZTR mower (zero-turn radius) will be well worth it. There are many to chose from, from John Deere (EZTrak Z445), or from Snapper, and other companies. I have used both JD and Snapper and have had a lot of success with both.
If you are looking for something that is more versatile, that could for example, haul a cart around, push snow with a bucket, dig holes, etc. You should look into some compact Tractors.... John Deere, Kubota, New Holland all offer some good models.
My best suggestion is to go to your local tractor dealer and talk to someone in person. These people are usually very knowledgeable and can answer all your questions and suggest a tractor for your specific needs.
