Hi everyone,
Can someone tell me is it better a compact tractor or zero turn. I have 5 agrees to cut with hill witch will be better to cut grass?

If your going to straight up mow grass, zero turn. I have a commercial zero turn and I can mow my grass in half the time it takes with a tractor, belly mower, or rear finish mower. The only thing you can do with a zero turn is mow mow mow. With a tractor the options are unlimited. If I had only one choice in my situation, it would be a tractor hands down. At least you can mow and have maney other options for the future. Jim

I agree with the above post. A commercial zero turn is the best grass cutter you can get.There are several good brands,although Exmark is king in my area.If you can find a good low hour used mower,you might be able get a tractor too .
