You'll also go crazy going slow enough for the blades to keep up (and do a decent job) while doing that much mowing. Get yourself a water bottle and a good hat. Be careful of spending 100s on a warranty. Did you ever see the commercial with the tree falling on the car and the switchboard operator asking if the tree was a ficus--because only a ficus falling on the guy's car would be covered? Buyer beware. Read the warranty carefully.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
What I'm looking for is a big Deck (that's NOT a straight line), and the Husky has a nice 52 incher that looks like it would make short work of my yard.
I'm nursing an old 42 inch Craftsman with a big one lunger Kohler, and that engine is bulletproof! Since Husky features a 25 hp kohler I was thinking it would be ok.
And yes, I will read that warranty carefully before buying it.
