Buy that and use it to cut hay. Check out Walker brand mowers. Around here they are the best built, most trouble free, easiest to work on mower.

Have had a Ferris 2000 61" deck for 10 years! Great mower. Daughter bought a Ferris 800 61" deck last week. 2000 series are considered commercial mowers. The 800 is a slightly stripped down 2100 for large properties
Virtually no problems. Grasshopper doesn't get used anymore. Backup mower is not necessary

I think that Ferris is about the best homeowner mower. Four wheel independent suspension. They are built like a tank, a good solid machine. I was cutting my neighbors yard for a couple of summers. He had a Ferris. When I bought mine I wanted a Ferris but my bank account could only let me get a Simplicity. Ferris makes them but they are a little lighter weight. They still have the four wheel suspension, I've been pleased with mine. If you decide on one ask the parts counter if they have the gater blades. They are thicker than the stock blades and about half the price. The ones for mine are about half the price for them compared to OEM. $68 compared to $125, made by Oregon.

I have a 61" We moved to a new place in the fall of '12. We have a spread out lawn and nothing is square, so in the spring of '13 I bought a new 61" Simplicity Z-turn. It sure makes it nice to mow this yard.

Mowing somewhere between 3 to 4 acers.

Been slobbering about one for a long time and found this.
When I win the lottery first thing I'm getting. Only problem is I have to start playing.
