Lot's of quality machines out there, each with their own unique attributes. Make sure you shop the commercial grade machines, more money up front, pays off in the long term.
I have a Yazoo/Kees Max2, 61" 25HP Kaw. Beast of a mower, built like a tank, Pushing 700 hrs, still running original belts. The big Kaw's are great engines, but they are thirty for sure, be ready for that. I finish mow ~4 acres, twin 5 gal saddle tanks, gets me 2 rounds.
Test drive every model you can before deciding, some should really stand out. (PS > Y/K is no longer.....Husqvarna bought them out several years ago, then discontinued the line. Too bad, old company that build great products, way better then anything the parent company builds.)
