Hey guys,

I'm looking to treat myself in a few months to a new mower. I have a fairly small lot myself that takes around 45 mins with a 21" machine (overlapping), but recently I have helped a lot of older people on and around my block. I cut around 6-8 lawns in all.

Specifically, I'm looking for a mower that has a width in the low 30's with a lot of power. I have a 21" cub cadet now and am not really pleased with the power output right now (6.75hp).

Looking at:

-Cub Cadet 33", 10.5 hp

-Ariens WAW1034 (34") 13.5-HP Self-Propelled Electric Start Lawn Mower

-Simplicity Pacer (32") 17.5HP Wide Area Walk Lawnmower

-Scag SW-32 (32" and 16HP)

Not big on the cub cadet because it seems extremely underpowered for that size. Ariens would be a clear cut winner, but the highest height is 3.5". That is borderline, since in the Summer I like to cut at around 4. Know nothing about the Simplicity, although it seems like it would be a monster out there. Scag of course has the reputation and looks nice, but of course at a premium.

Any thoughts on these or any others are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
