Sorry for the late response, I’ve been bone tired from work. I’m only working 50-55 hrs/week but it’s a lot of stairs and ladderwells, and I’m just getting back into shape! I’ve lost 10# in the past month.
Anyway, my yard has a lot of small/medium trees, shrubs and bordering brush. My yard is also lumpy and mildly hilly.
With my current push mower (28”) it takes me an hour for the front-facing yard and 2 hrs for the back, longer if I let it get overgrown, which happens…!
All of that is to say I get plenty of steps at work (10-20k/day - my butt cheeks are still sore from climbing stairs last week!) so the thought of a riding mower or ZT is very appealing.
My wife has given me free range on price, but I’m not willing to go into debt on a mower. We have a great neighbor who will cut our lawn for a hundo, though he tries to charge us less…
Finally, I have a nice spot under our deck I could park it, but it will not fit in our shed. It will need to be outside.
Thanks for all of the advice. I don’t have time to reply to all, but will consider every single post equally!

I would not spend that kind of money for a new Z-turn to leave it out in the open. Buy something used, till you have a shed or make a lean to, off your shed.
