If and when I ever buy a mower, there is absolutely no way I would buy anything smaller than a 60" zero-turn. My neighbor handles his like he was born on it and it still takes him 2 hours on our grass.

riding lawnmowers,
I imagine I have mentioned this, but I'll mention it again. I have a standard city lot with many fruit trees and plantings and row gardens (with grass in between) ...and have always used a walk-behind mower. A couple years ago, before my knee replacement, my knee was getting to where I had a hard time walking the lawnmower. I found a 25" Snapper rear engine Rider that needed a engine...you got that right, only 25"...my push mower is 21"...but once I swapped out the engine for one I salvaged, the small 25" Rider was just the thing for my complicated lawn/garden.

I mow probably 5 acres, chopped up into several different time intervals. I'm about to turn 70 years old, with two total knee replacements, under my belt. No riding mower or zero turn. Just a Honda self propelled walk behind. With all the inclines, a self propelled is a must. With all the rocks, I'm not investing in a high priced piece of equipment that's gonna get abused..................no way I can get rid of all the semi exposed rocks, in Rock-in-saw. Besides it's the only exercise I get.

Well I don't know if this will work as a link, but this guy had a bad that turned out pretty good all things considered. Used to fish kings on the Gulkana every summer.

‘He took a small bite and then ... a second bite’: Surveyor survives bear mauling near Glennallen
The mauling left the man with a crushed jaw, a puncture wound in his scalp so deep the doctor told him he could see bone, lacerations and many stitches after a 4 1/2-hour surgery.

They must know that it is not hunting season. I was up at my hunting property this week and I spotted a group of eleven. I got out of the car and looked at them. They ignored me! I rode around for about an hour and when I came back they were in the same area and once again didn't object to my intrusion.
I don't see this kind of behavior during hunting season.

Outskirts of Sacramento, CA has a pretty fair population of turkey. Wish we had them here. What we see most of recently are predators. Heating up the Kamado last evening and caught a peek at a fox checking out our northeast lawn.
Ahi tuna steaks came out excellent.
