What kind of lawn mower do you mow your ranch with ?might be in the market

Not mowing a ranch here, but John Deere has worked well for me.

I have had a D170 for years problem free.

if you spend more than a hunnert, you're wasting your money

2003 Exmark 54” that I’ve treated like a bush hog. Just keeps on rolling. I’d buy again.

Don't know what you mean by "ranch". People define that differently. I have Frontier 7' for small jobs and JD 1470 for bigger stuff. On momma's lawn, I use a Toro battery powered push mower.

I don't have a ranch. I mow about 4.5 acres with a 52" Exmark E series Radius. It's a fairly heavy duty residential grade zero turn.

I have a Bush Hog brand zero turn. M2255 I believe is the model number, mow 4 acres. I have owned it for 12 years now.

I bought a newer Hustler commercial mower with a Kawasaki engine at a sod farm liquidation auction. Only mow 4 acres but it's been bulletproof for 14 years.

Hello There neighbor!
In Franklin I use a 60" Kubota 22 horse diesel tractor. I'm cutting a bit over 5 acres. It's about 20 years old and I think it may be built better than the newer ones. On the place close to you I just bought a new-to-me 7' John Deere bush hog. It is a foot bigger than the Bush Hog brand I've been using for 20 years and cuts the bigger stuff without grunting.
Good Luck,
Rick

I have a Kubota 50 horse and a 24 horse cub cadet, well pleased with both.

LOL... I mow ranches for a living.

But not with a lawn mower...



To mow my lawn I have a Bad Boy zero turn.

Whar's the other rig?

I don't use it as much these days with fuel prices being what they are... But I have used it on some thick stuff this year.



If I REALLY want to burn some diesel, I run this:

It cuts great! But only a 6 foot path, and does run through some fuel to do so!

Kubota B2920 pulling a 60" RHINO 160.

The Cub 960 is a beast on hills. I’ve mowed 35* slopes without a problem on my 8 acres. The all wheel steering is key. Oh and the stripes it will lay down is also impressive.

I run a Deere 925A.

Bought the wife a Cub ZT1 last year.

Both have Kawasaki engines... IMHO Kawasaki makes a good engine.

I would prefer a diesel Deere, but for the cost the value is not there.

We use a Husqvarna TS354D to cut the yard 1.35 acres and some of our 4-wheeler road about a mile roundtrip.

4.5 acres to mow? Raise a beef instead.
