i have the 4wd Stiga, awesome bit of kit, highly recommend it
thanks, I'l have a look at the Stigas, can I take it that trying to attempt it all with a walk behind would be a bit ambitious!
a 48'' deck would be great but the bridges and gates would make that impossible :-(
You can get 32/36 inch decks
It's only an acre and a quarter so a normal 21 inch mower will do it in under two hours if done regularly.
Unless you go for a 30" toro mulcher. 5000m2 might be something like 2 hrs mowing.
Thanks for all the input, even with the Etesia Bahia working it takes over two hours, especially in the wet so I'll have a look at that 30'' Toro. There's a Stiga dealer near me in Ludlow, I'll pop in there next week. Their website looks good, I just need to know if something like the park 340 will be reliable and cope with some of the bumps and rougher ground before I suggest it as a replacement.
I used (still have) the 30" Toro mulcher used it covering large areas. Upgraded to a ride on and its a pleasure, once all the areas have been cut i feel like i haven't done anything! compared with being tired from walking endlessly. Saved my energy for other jobs, may be something to consider
