Which would be better?

[Horsepower Lawns]

I have a Cub 18hp with a 38in deck. Works great for small lawns. I have just started about 2 months ago, so no need to get the bigger deck yet. But I have done a 3 acre yard, and have had calls about a 4 acre yard and today went and looked at a camp with about 6-7 acres.

I don't want to spend the next 3 days mowing 1 place so I was thinking about getting a tow mower that is about 42in or getting a 36(?)in walk behind.

With the tow I would cut about 6 feet wide in 1 path, but with the walk behind I think it would cut faster.

So which is better?? :confused:

The walkbehind mower would last longer while still performing very well! JMO

Just curious, how long does it take you to do a 3 acre yard with that size mower? Reason i'm asking is because someone with a yard that big is interested in my service and I'm really not sure how long it will take me, therefore I'm not sure how much to charge...

It took me 5 hours to cut that 3 acres. It most of it was 6-8in tall, but some of it was 9-11in. It was slow, but I got it done. The yard also needed bagged or a sweeper ran over it to get the old grass out.
