Wow thank you everyone for your input. I have talked to the local Kubota dealer and I can get a 54 inch gas commercial mower for $8000.00 and the seat was just what I needed for my back. It was zero down and $179.00 per month for 48 or 60 months. Jared the tractor with belly mower sounds like a great option. I will price that out also. I have never heard of Ferris mowers but I will look them up. It sounds like they are very good because several of you mentioned it. Thank you again everyone.
