I have approx. 1 1/2 - 2 acres to mow about every 5 days or so. i do have a couple gates that limit the size of the deck so I am now looking between the Hustler 2008 mini fasttrak 17hp 42" and the 2007 gravely zt 2044xl. I know both are good mowers and I really like the hustler, but this gravely has quite a few more option than the hustler + the twin cylinder, but the hustler has better warranty options. What opinions do you guys have...all are greatly appreciated.
