I have a 2000 BX 2200 with a 60" MMM. I use it on my 2.5acres and also take care of my Mother's 2 acres. Mom lives around 6 miles away, and while I am fortunate enough to have a trailer, it still takes 45-50 minutes additional time to hook the trailer up, load the tractor, chain it down, etc. to do an hour and half job at her house.I took a promotion on work, and time is scarce.
I have been thinking about buying a second machine and leaving it at my Mother's.I don't know how much I need to spend, or what I look for. The lawn is fairly smooth, one hill, few obstacles. I don't want to spend much more time than I do now on the lawn. I would like something heavy duty enough to do both lawns, if I ever had a problem with the Kubota, or have the FEL on while I am working on a project.
Here's the questions. What would I be best served by- a lawn tractor or a ZTR? Either way, what should I be prepared to spend for a quality unit? I drool every time I look at a Kubota ZD, but I can't spend $10,000 on this purchase. Any thoughts?
