I bought a used JD lawn tractor to mow a triangular shaped lawn that is about 160’ x 100’. About 1/3 acre mostly uphill. I didn’t get a riding mower because I thought it wouldn’t be powerful enough. The 20 hp tractor has plenty of power to go up the steep slopes but not enough traction. And some limited area is a 2:1 slope so the only option is to dive bomb it from the top. All in all it is quite a thrill ride.
Question: should I have gotten a rider for lower center of gravity? Or At a 1/3 of acre does it make sense use a self propelled walk behind mower?
