Thanks Hlleonard...I meant that I wasn't particularly fond of yard work. I don't mind it for a couple hours a week of mowing and trimming, but its not something I enjoy or want to spend 6 hours a week on manicuring like a golf course. I mow it, trim it, and grt on with life. Considering that this land is lind of hilly and that I'm a big boy, I think your statement about not getting an underpowered tractor are spot on.

I've heard that zero turn mowers can be bad on hilly terrain, especially with an inexperienced driver, so I tend to think a traditional garden tractor, something 50"+ cut, with some horsepower...
