I have about 5 acres that needs to be mowed fairly often. I have a Swisher Rough Cut Trail mower to pull behind my 4 wheeler, a 30 horse 4x4 Kubota tractor with a shredder and a Husqvarna Z254 Zero Turn mower.
I use the tractor/shredder for below the pond and the back and east part of the property due to the roughness, slopes and thicker grass/brush that a zero turn does not like. The Swisher Trail mower I use around my pond and front part of the property where the slopes off the main road are steep, I do not want to turn my tractor over. Also use the Swisher on my deer lease to cut lanes and trails.
The front part from the house south out to the road I use or have used the Zero turn. I have had the rear drive gears replaced this year, but it is still having extreme difficulties managing the side hills and slopes. The mower will almost come to a stop or veer to the left when trying to go up a slope of any size. It is getting frustrating.
The Zero turn works better than the other 2 up in the front of the property because of some obstacles/trees and such that the tractor or Swisher would have difficulty maneuvering around, plus some areas close to the house and garage.
Are there any recommendations for a Zero Turn that will handle hills/slopes/rough terrain that will handle the afore mentioned plus not beat me to death? If not a Zero Turn, any recommendations on what you would use. Any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated.
