I'm a first time home buyer with 2.18 acres of level grass to mow. I would like to know what kind of mower to buy either being a zero turn or tractor. Like to have a mulcher. I want to spend between 2 and 4000 on a mower being used or new. I don't need any attachments on a mower cause I have something else to use this on. Please help as I will need one i the coming months. Good quality low maintenance mower
Answer
I would go with a Zero Turn
I have 1 acre and have a John Deere Zero Turn Mower.
If you dont need to pull any attachments, then there is no reason to get a lawn tractor.
Zero turn mowers have alot of Pluses
Much faster ( My mower has a 42in deck and can mow my acre in 45 minutes)
If you have alot of obtacles (trees), zero turn can mow right around the tree on a dime. (lawn tracotr might take a few passes to cut close enough to the tree.
I absoulutly love my zero-turn... used to have a craftsman Lawn tractor... it sucked. grass clumped

I'd recommend about a 17-18 horse lawn tractor or so (17 horsepower absolute minimum) with a 48"-60" deck. Zero turn radius tractors will go faster but they can take a little getting used to.
You can't go wrong with a John Deere. They do cost a little more, but they last so much longer that they are worth every penny. Our family had a John Deere 116 for years and it lasted from about 1980 to probably about 2003. In that same time, our neighbor went through about 4-5 cheap lawnmowers and we had a much larger yard to mow including a pond where we hit sticks and stumps, etc. John Deere just builds theirs well, you can tell by the thickness of the sheet metal on the mower deck.
If you get the tractor type, the only kind I'd recommend is a John Deere. Well, I'd probably also recommend Toro. They are pretty good, but still not as good as John Deere. Gravely also has pretty descent ones, but they are not as common. I recommend getting one with hydro-stat. It comes in SO handy. Also, for the hills I recommend getting the lug tires. They work so much better than the turf tires for going up hills.
For a zero turn radius there are several good brands out there. Dixie Chopper is well known. Of course there is John Deere. Then there is Grasshopper and Bushhog. All of those brands are good brands.
