Get something about 20 HP with a 42 in deck , hydrostatic drive , with a stubbie holder .
That works for me , about 2.5 stubbies to the acre 
Or mine where you can do in in style. 1976 MTD 3 forward 1 reverse gears 10HP B & S compact tractor with wheelie bar. Now the fun specs
port n polished, yep the rats chewed a heap out
. twin plugs to ensure burning of all fuel
, custom throttle body with big injector, custom EFI system that supports NOS (NOS removed
), Sandblasted, 2k paintwork, polished items (grill, deck lowering arms) Solid M/C'ed pulleys with quality brgs(pulleys were crappy 2 piece , spotwelded type), beefed up cutting deck.
This monster is insane, for a belt drive that grips, spits tyres off the rims. (bead locks need to be done)
.
Problem was when cutting the grass, you had to do it a few times as the front wheels wanted to go sky ward bound and ended up with a sawtooth profile cut grass
Sadly the monster sits in the garage and hasn't moved in 6 years.
