Looking To Buy A Lawn Mower. Zero Turn Or Tractor?
I’m a first time home buyer with 2.18 acres of level grass to mow. I would like to know what kind of mower to buy either being a zero turn or tractor. Like to have a mulcher. I want to spend between 2 and 4000 on a mower being used or new. I don’t need any attachments on a mower cause I have something else to use this on. Please help as I will need one i the coming months. Good quality low maintenance mower

I would go with a Zero Turn
I have 1 acre and have a John Deere Zero Turn Mower.
If you dont need to pull any attachments, then there is no reason to get a lawn tractor.
Zero turn mowers have alot of Pluses
Much faster ( My mower has a 42in deck and can mow my acre in 45 minutes)
If you have alot of obtacles (trees), zero turn can mow right around the tree on a dime. (lawn tracotr might take a few passes to cut close enough to the tree.
I absoulutly love my zero-turn… used to have a craftsman Lawn tractor… it sucked. grass clumped

Zero turn is definitely better. Toro and Scag are the best brands. For under $4K it might be a little tough to find a used one. Check around. I wouldn’t buy a used mower with more than 1,000 hours.
