Moving to dedicated mowing machine

/ Moving to dedicated mowing machine #21  
I have a 2+ acre yard that has numerous obstacles and slopes and steep ditches. I have been using a JD 445 garden tractor to do the mowing for the past 14 years (one large 400' long 25' tall ditch I pay to have mowed because it's just too steep and sharp at bottom ... they use a standup ride on and they fight to stay on the slope to get it done ... fast but dangerous) I'd love to find something that could mow quicker, be easy to control, and easy to change/sharpen blades. Of course the cut would have great or not worth the change. Do you have any suggestions as to what ZTR machines would work for me? Everyone I have posed this question to so far has said Ventrac or Steiner but my 6'4" tall 375lbs doesn't fit on them and many ZTR's require me to have a much smaller girth to operate them they way they were designed.

You might check out Grasshopper with a front mount deck. They have an option to get a wider seat.

Last season I got a Toro 54" zero turn. All my rough areas are cut with a bush hog on my L4400. The zero turn is so strong I am rethinking the division of what to use where with the options the zero turn give me.
