I am about to bite the bullet and purchase a new mower...trying to decide between a Toro Zero Turn 42" cut and a Husq 46" riding lawn mower. The zero turn is about $800 more than the riding mower. I have about 1.5 acres to mow that consists of many newly planted trees and prairie grass...the terrain is fairly rough now as I slowly work on it to make things nicer. I think the zero turn would save time mowing around the trees and shrubs I planted, but I am concerned the terrain may beat the mower up too bad. I'd like it to last me a good 10 or 15 years since I tend to take care of my toys. Anyone have to make a similar decision and what was the weighing factor?
